Finding Your Own Style
Fashion and style isn’t just some sort of trend to be followed; it’s a statement you make about yourself. Dressing up is a big part of being who you are. You’re putting on that uniform that's going to take you into battle. Whatever battle it is, your armor will define whether you’ll be the victor. It sets you up for success.
So, in finding your style, there are a lot of things to consider.
How Do You Want to Present Yourself?
The reality of this world is that we're all human; we are judging. We can't help it. We look at a situation, look at an image, look at a person. And within three to seven seconds, we decide if we want to trust them, if we want to buy from them and if we even want to carry on a conversation.
You have to keep in mind how you want people to perceive you. Do you really want to be the Social Media Manager that's showing up in the old college sweatshirt? Do you want to look trustworthy? Professional?
You need to look into who you are. That’s the first step. Style yourself up the way you want to be addressed.
Sorting Your Wardrobe
Now that you’ve established your identity, it’s time to be “that” person. It’s important to be confident in any style that you’ve chosen. Here’s a tip: Go through your wardrobe and get rid of all those pieces that don't work for you. Think of them as memories that are holding you back. It’s going to be such a mind-shift change. A rebranding of your image works as a sort of stress relief. You’re basically shedding your old skin and coming out to be a better version of yourself.
Confidence Commands Appeal
A revamp on your wardrobe means a new you, but it falls flat when you don’t carry yourself like how you look. It goes out of proportion so you have to strut as you mean it. You’ve got your identity and your wardrobe.
Now, you’ll need to have that presence; exude that aura of confidence. Your style will affect your confidence as well. Even putting on some makeup getting ready and you’re giving yourself that confidence to show up as a better you.
No ‘One Size Fits All’
When you work with a stylist, most of the time they want to dress you the way they wanted it to be because they’d like to think that everyone will look amazing. But that’s not always the case. There are different types of people and each has its unique style.
Takeaways
Finding your style is similar to finding yourself. Once you truly understand who you are, you’ll know where to begin. Sometimes it’s not about the clothes or the outfit; it’s about making a statement. It’s about being yourself in the best way that you can.
