Everyone wants to set themselves apart from the crowd, and a great way to express those desires is through the way we dress. Discovering your own style is more than just wearing unique clothing that makes you stand out. It's about getting your personality across without trying too hard. You want people to take a second look, but not stare.
Before you decide on your own personal style you must first find out who you really are. What are your interests? What inspires you? After you can answer those questions confidently, then you can use that information to uncover the unique style that will portray who you really are.
Unsure of where you should begin? Flipping through magazines for inspiration, and information on the top unique dress trends is a great place to start. Circle garments you like, cut out pictures and use them to create outfits. Or you can start a fashion journal so you can keep track of your journey to finding your personal style. Document the outfits you wear, how you felt in them and positive or negative feedback from the people who you come in contact with throughout the day. This will help you determine what kind of clothes you truly feel comfortable in. Keeping a record of your unique clothing style will also give you more confidence to take fashion risks.
Keep in mind that finding your own style and expressing yourself through your unique clothing does not have to come marked with a high price tag. Browsing through vintage shops and thrift stores are the best ways to find outfits no one else will be wearing.
