Wow.. can you believe this is already the last passion blog of the semester?! Crazy right? My last passion blog will be dedicated to tips on how to find your unique signature style! These passion blogs throughout the semester taught me how to become a unique writer and taught me that writing can be fun and enjoyable! I just want to say thank you to everyone who viewed my blogs and enjoyed every piece of it, you are greatly appreciated. Alright, enough rambling… Enjoy my very last fashion blog of the semester!
Tip #1: Analyze!
Focus on what pieces of clothing are actually in your wardrobe currently. To come up with a successful and unique signature style, go through your wardrobe, look through some pieces of clothing, and think to yourself “does this piece fit my personality, will I wear this piece more than once, did I wear it in the past few months or has it just been living in my closet all these years?” If the answer to these questions is “no”, maybe it’s time to get rid of it for good. Next, you should go through the pieces you wear most often and try shaping your shopping towards similarly styled pieces to feel more comfortable with your personal style.
Tip #2: Label!
After thoroughly going through your wardrobe and analyzing which pieces of clothing you feel most comfortable in, describe those pieces in two words total. Would you say your style is more of the “cool and calm”, “spunky and fierce”, or “ adore and comfortable” wearing? After settling on a few words that describe your look, you’ll begin to start seeing similarities in your clothing thus creating the classification of your style.
Tip #3: Inspiration!
Having a few of your favorite fashionable celebrities in mind as inspiration is a very effective use for finding your signature style. For instance, say you like Nicki Minaj’s clothing choices, whether it be in her music videos, award shows, or just for an Instagram selfie, if you truly love that black leather jacket, bright pink pants, and white turtle neck tee, you can easily match that same look while adding your own spice to it along the way! Next time you’re going clothes shopping and you pick up an item, think to yourself, “Would Nicki wear this or would this be in her wardrobe?” if the answers “yes” chances are, it would look perfect for you as well!
Final tip #4: Know your dislikes!
This tip is probably the most obvious one of all. Yes, know what pieces of clothing does not work for you and which ones that you absolutely couldn’t find yourself ever wearing. Doing this step will give you a clear vision of self-confidence and your unique stylistic choices. Although ‘Tip #3’ says to find a celebrity inspiration, this does not limit you to wearing EXACTLY the same thing as your favorite movie star, a fashion blogger, or an Instagram model. Just because Zendaya is wearing a bright lime green pair of pants does not mean you have to force yourself into a pair even if you truly don’t like it.
This is the end of this semester’s fashion blogs! Thank you all for keeping up with my blogs and commenting your honest opinions! Have fun with your sense of style, be creative, adventurous, explore new trends that you probably wouldn’t have before! See you soon Fashion Society, stay sassy and classy!
