Your sense of fashion can affect your confidence. It’s pretty easy to feel on top of the world when you know you look good, and it is equally easy to feel out of place and uncomfortable when you feel odd in your clothes. Most people will say that true confidence should come from within, but you cannot ignore that outer appearance also has a lot to do with it. So, if your current wardrobe doesn’t inspire any confidence, here are some ways to create a personal style that does.
- Find value in the clothes you pick
Don’t limit your preferred style to the clothes you put on your back. Instead, find ways to create a meaningful look or add value to what you wear. Sounds complicated? Not really! Here’s a good example. Suppose you’re a vegan or an advocate of sustainability and an eco-friendly way of living. In that case, you can invest in vegan clothing or eco-friendly fashion elements. This way, the clothes you wear will speak more to you than merely covering your body. Also, eco-friendly or sustainable fashion isn’t expensive. You can find an endless supply of affordable ethical clothing options available online and not far from you.
- Put yourself first
The fashion world can be an unforgiving one, particularly when it comes to critiques. No matter how well-dressed you think you are, there is always someone ready to find fault with what you wear. In short, you can’t please everyone with your choice of style – and you shouldn’t aim to. It is important to remember that you wear what you feel comfortable in. So, put yourself first when trying to create a style, and don’t allow yourself to be swayed by the opinions of the ‘fashion police.’
- Look for inspiration, but don’t copy
The last thing you want to do is create a personal style that is merely a duplicate of someone else’s. You may love the way your favourite celebrity or social media influencer dresses, but that doesn’t mean you should copy every element of their fashion style in detail. You’re trying to identify a personal style that suits you and makes you confident. So the best you can do is take inspiration from their styles to create a unique one that suits you. Also, just because a particular style looks good on someone does not mean it’ll work for you.
- Enhance your features and incorporate elements you love
What do you admire the most about your physique? Is it your slender neck, long legs, well-framed shoulders? Identify your body’s unique features and choose outfits that enhance them. For example, if you have long, gorgeous legs, rocking outfits that expose them can make all the difference. Noticing others admire your legs can easily send your confidence levels through the roof. You should also find ways to incorporate the fashion elements you love into your outfits. For example, pick the colours that complement your skin better. If you love to rock sunglasses, make them a signature feature of your dressing.
