Understand Your Style

Understanding your style is essential in developing a wardrobe that reflects your identity. It’s all too easy to fall into the trap of following trends or copying what everyone else is wearing, but true style comes from within and is unique to each individual.
The first step in understanding your style is to examine yourself closely. What colors do you gravitate towards? Do you prefer bold or neutral colors? Are you drawn to classic, timeless pieces, or do you love experimenting with the latest trends? These are just a few questions when assessing your style. Another critical aspect of understanding your style is considering your body type. Specific techniques and silhouettes may flatter your figure more than others. For example,

Pear-shaped body:

Clothing styles: A-line dresses, high-waisted pants, and wide-leg trousers.
Recommendations: Choose clothes that draw attention to your upper body and balance your proportions. For example, try tops with eye-catching details, like ruffles or off-the-shoulder styles, and pair them with darker-colored bottoms.

Apple-shaped body:

Clothing styles: Empire-waist dresses, tunic tops, and flowy blouses.
Recommendations: Focus on highlighting your waist and choosing clothes that elongate your body. Opt for clothing that falls away from the midsection.

Hourglass-shaped body:

Clothing styles: Wrap dresses, bodycon dresses, and pencil skirts.
Recommendations: Emphasize your curves with form-fitting clothing. Choose clothes that hug your curves without being too tight. Shapeless clothes would ruin your overall look.

Rectangle-shaped body:

Clothing styles: Crop tops, midi skirts, and high-waisted pants.
Recommendations: Create the illusion of curves by adding volume to your upper and lower body. For example, try a peplum top to add volume to your waist and hips. You can also wear clothes with embellishments, like ruffles or patterns.

Inverted triangle-shaped body:

Clothing styles: Wide-leg pants, flowy tops, and A-line skirts.
Recommendations: Create a balanced silhouette by emphasizing your lower body and softening your shoulders. Go for clothing that draws attention to your hips and legs.
Lastly, recognizing your style is essential for creating a wardrobe that truly expresses who you are. Consider your tastes, lifestyle, and body type while designing a functional and appealing wardrobe. Don’t be scared to experiment and have fun because personal style is a unique adventure.
