You know that feeling when you see someone whose style you love and you just want to be them? Or when you look in your closet and feel like you have nothing to wear, even though it's full of clothes? The good news is, there is a way to figure out what your personal style is so you can start dressing in a way that feels natural, expresses who you are, and feel empowered. 

1.Start with the basics

Whether you're just starting to develop your personal style or you've been experimenting for awhile, it's important to have a strong foundation of basics. Think timeless pieces that can be mixed and matched with other items in your closet, like a great pair of jeans, black blazer coat, or a white button-down shirt. These pieces will form the building blocks of your wardrobe and can be worn over and over again in different ways. Plus, they'll save you time and money in the long run because you won't have to keep buying new clothes all the time. And when you do buy something new, make sure it's worth the investment—it should last for more than one season. You might want to start by adding one basic item per month until you build up a solid selection.

2.Experiment with different styles

Once you have the basics down, it's time to start having some fun! Try out different styles by shopping at different stores, thumbing through magazines, or scrolling through fashion blogs. When something catches your eye, ask yourself why you like it. Is it the silhouette? The color? The material? The print? Answering these questions will help you zero in on the specific elements of different styles that appeal to you so you can incorporate them into your own look. For example, if you're drawn to a dress because of its pattern and want to incorporate more patterns into your wardrobe, then keep an eye out for other dresses with similar patterns when you're out shopping. 

3.Be true to yourself

This may sound like a cliche, but it's so important: Always be true to yourself when it comes to your personal style. If something doesn't feel like "you," then don't wear it! It's not worth sacrificing your comfort or confidence just to be someone else or fit into someone else's idea of what is "stylish." Dress in a way that makes YOU feel good and expresses who YOU are. Trust us—you'll be much happier (and more stylish) as a result. Don't let anyone tell you how to dress or what looks good on you. Figure out for yourself the best types of clothes for your body type, face shape, coloring, and personality. 

-Get outside of your comfort zone!: Make an effort to explore different styles until you find one that feels right for you. With time and practice, this will become easier and easier with every outfit you try on.

There you have it!

We hope these tips help you develop a personal style that feels natural and empowering! Just remember to start with the basics, experiment with different styles, and always be true to yourself—and soon you'll be expressing yourself through fashion better than ever before.
