The beauty of living in the modern world is that these days, virtually anything goes when it comes to style, fashion, and trends, both in terms of home design and décor and in the context of clothing, shoes, and accessories.
Expressing your personality and passions through how you dress is rewarding, exciting, and thrilling and can even make the difference between wanting to attend a social function or not and feeling confident in yourself and less so.
With that being said, here is how to express your personal style and keep up to date with the latest trends.
Always Dress According to Your Current Mood
First and foremost, often people make the mistake of dressing how they think they should look, or else simply choose to wear what everyone else is wearing.
However, true personal style and an individual fashion sense come from dressing to reflect your mood and feelings in that moment. For example, everyone has those days whereby they feel much more comfortable in a baggy pair of slacks and an oversized jumper, and wherever possible, you should embrace how you want to feel in that day’s attire.
Repurpose Your Old Clothes
If you are someone who takes a sentimental approach to your closet and has numerous items of clothing which you would either never wear these days or else would love to but, alas, they no longer fit, repurposing your old clothes is a fabulous idea.
An amazing way to upcycle your sentimental items of clothing would be to invest in one of the gorgeous blankets made from clothes and cover your couch with your uniquely designed blanket or snuggle up at night with your new personalized quilt.
Embrace Your Shape
With all the pressures from social media, magazines, television, movies, and other people in your life, it can often feel as if you would love to wave that magic wand and give yourself a whole new body.
The truth is, cliché though it may be, who you are and at your stand for is far less to do with your outward appearance and much more closely related to your personality, so embracing your body shape and working to accentuate your assets is always an important element of a person who successfully owns their personal sense of style.
Base Your Outfits Around Your Favorite Colors
Finally, even if you could not, if asked right now and on the spot, list off your favorite colors. You will naturally and even subconsciously gravitate towards certain shades and tones, and it is these which serve to bring individual outfits together to create a cohesive and personally stylish closet.
This is where shopping online for clothes just does not cut it, and instead, spending the day wandering around your local shopping mall, trying on clothes in different colors to what you normally wear, is a great way to experiment with shades and tones and to find the ones you love.
