Style Session 1: Finding Your Style

 

Ok so finding your style. This is a huge topic in which there are many 
answers to the infamous question, how do I know what my style is? 
Now don't get me wrong I'm not one for labels ; I'm perfectly happy to answer the question with 'well you know grunge but not total grunge, nerdy but not total prep, feminine but not girly' and so on, because truth be told my style changes with my moods which change with the weather (joking). But it's always nice to be prepared when the shop assistant asks 'so what are you looking for? What's your style?' because having an answer makes shopping so much more simple! 

So there are a lot of ways to go about this but I'm going to tell you probably the easiest (and my favourite) way to do it!

Step 1

Take your clothes and first sort them into colours. Now we are not talking about that multi cloured sweater you Grandma sent you that you've never worn. We are talking about the clothes that you wear on a regular basis, those staples that you wear regularly and just can not live without! 

Step 2

Now that you've seen the colours and the general jist of what colours you wear the most. You are now going to need to borrow a friend for this part ; because we're not searching for a label but for a simple, three word description. Such as 'vibrant,busy,colourful' which immediately brings to mind multi-coloured, mixed patterns with lots of accessories where as 'clean,modern,simple' conjures up images of simple items with minimum accessorising in very neutral colours'. See how effective those three words are at describing your style? So you're going to use your friend's opinion first and see what they think. 

Step 3

Now almost using your friend's description you are now going to describe your style using three words which you will now be able to use as your inspiration for your own three words. After describing your style yourself you should have decided on your three words. Congratulations! That is your style!
