“Style is something each of us already has, all we need to do is find it.”

—Diane von Furstenberg

1. Make use of your minimalist aesthetic. A classic little black dress, a pair of well-fitting jeans, plain T-shirts and button-down tops in neutral hues, and a basic jacket should all be part of your wardrobe. The secret to appearing put together is to invest in a small number of versatile essentials.

2. Ensure that your clothing fits you precisely. A tailored fit makes clothing seem more sophisticated and feel cozier. If your clothing bunches up or your jeans drag on the ground, you won’t feel stylish. You may begin to experiment with oversized items in a way that feels attractive rather than sloppy if your minimalist wardrobe fits you nicely.

3. Choose a distinct style. Making a mood board is a good place to start even if developing your own individual style may take years. You should always keep in mind that personal style is an adventure; you never know what fantastic looks you’ll find until you enter the changing room. “Men’s” and “women’s” clothing shouldn’t dictate how you make purchases. Spend some time playing with shapes and colors to find what flatters your own body shape.

4. Make use of color. For ideas, have a look at a color chart. If you’re scared to wear color, begin with one item in a muted hue and progress from there. You’ll discover what color combination complements your style the most as you become more accustomed to them.

5. Combine textures and patterns. The practice of matching your bags and shoes is no longer fashionable. A striking fashion statement is made by clashing materials and patterns. Beginning with simple, understated materials like suede and knits and basic patterns like stripes, experiment with sequins and floral prints in little doses to see what looks well on you.

6. Be better at shopping. If you learn how to shop smartly, it will be simpler for you to minimize filling your closet with things you rarely use. When you have items in your closet that you adore, designing a wardrobe will come naturally.

7. Explore proportional balance. It’s important to style your clothes to achieve a sense of stylistic harmony while balancing dimensions. You may do this by dressing in clothing that fits your body type. Keep the remainder of the appearance tailored when you wish to experiment with big clothing or unexpected forms.
