5 Ways To Determine Your Signature Style

What you wear is very personal. It’s something that should not only feel personal, but also really influence you too. It's something that defines you and says a lot about who you are as a person.

There’s really something about boosting your mood and how you feel by how you look. It’s a mindset or psychological thing, for sure, but when you’re dressed well and you feel great in yourself, it really contributes to how you’re feeling overall. So, it’s always in your best interest to make sure that you’re wearing clothes that you love, and that you’re comfortable with your own personal style. One of the ways that you can make sure this happens, is to think about adding a personal touch to your look. Here are five different ways you can do that!

1. Have A Signature Style

To start with, one of the best ways that you can make sure that your style is personal to you, is for you to have a signature style. Maybe you’re feminine and classic? Or are you trendy and grungy? Or maybe you’re a style chameleon and you wear such varied outfits from day to day? This will always make style and even trends feel personal because you’ve got a distinctive look. I'd definitely say that I'm one of those people who doesn't really have a 'fashion-niche'. I wear so many different styles, that that is my style, if that makes sense?

2. Know Your Colours

The next thing you can do is make sure that you’re working with your own signature colours too. Because it’s all very well having a signature style, but you can really make it your own by bringing a signature color palette into the mix too. If you know that certain colours really work for you, then you can always look to wear the shades that make your style feel a little more unique.

I love to colour block and clash colours but recently I've been loving pink! You may have noticed by my latest Instagram post!

3. Personalise Your Stuff

Another option that can really help you here, is for you to personalise what you wear. This could be by choosing clothing and accessory designs that suit your personality, such as kk designs, that you can change up from look to look. Or, it may even be to get your name or initials added onto your items of clothing or accessories to really make sure that they’re personal.

4. Have Go-To Accessories

You can also really personalise your look by having the right accessories. You could have a set of go-to accessories that always allows you to make your look stand out. Maybe you wear sunglasses or headbands? This could be your signature mark, so really have fun here. I think it's safe to say mine are glasses, hats and scarves!

5. Stick To A Capsule Wardrobe

Finally, it may even be that you want to have a set capsule wardrobe that you can fall back on when you want to feel your best. We all have those key pieces in our closets that we love and we know look great on us. In summer, this is my go-to dress! (see photo) So it’s often a great idea to use them as a go-to for when you know you want to instantly impress or feel amazing, such as for an interview or party. Then, you can mix in trendier pieces, but you still feel like yourself, because you’re mixing them with your signature style.

For example, I love a good high-waisted jean and I can dress them up in so many different ways. With some cute little sandals and a strappy top for a night out or a jumper and trainers for a more casual daytime look. Or even with a blazer for a work look.

What other tips would you add to the list? 

I always recommend confidence. Anybody can wear anything if they just have confidence. Who cares if people stare? That's what makes you stand out and that's what defines you!

Life's too short to wear boring clothes!
