This is the short guide to creating your own personal look, a fashionable style that declares to the world that who you are. For some people this style is more elusive than to others, but I believe that everyone has the ability to create your own style and to rock it. The following tips may seem a bit abstract, but then again so it style.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • The ability to know yourself.
  • The ability to stay true to what works for you and ignore what doesn't.
  • A little creativity (come on, everyone has it).
  1. Step 1

    Realize the style is the best of you. In order to create and embrace your own personal style you must want to wear things that make you look best. Don't try to look someone celebrity or one of your fiends, because you want to look like you. That is the point of personal style.

  2. Step 2
    does this work for you?

    Good style is an exploration. Style changes and people go through edits. Embrace the change.

  3. Step 3

    Be creative. Look for items that speak to you or have some sort of special meaning to you. Then don't be afraid to wear them or to try something different with them. If you love the big sunglasses and scarf over the hair look, then try different ways of wearing the look until it becomes you. Always have fun with different styles because this is what will inspire creativity.

  4. Step 4

    Be comfortable. You need to be able to move through your world. A key to good style is looking effortless and the chicest way to make a look appear effortless is for you to be comfortable with what you are wearing.

  5. Step 5

    Take a pass. Don't worry about the trends because they may not always work for you. A trend is merely a a fashion statement that will fade while personal style is a statement that will last. If a trend makes you feel great then go for it, but if not then move on to an item that makes you feel the best.

Tips & Warnings
  • Remember style is about what makes the best you.
  • Always be honest with yourself, thats the best personal statement of all.
  • Try to forget about the style of other people when creating your own personal style, it will only make it harder for you to know what works with you.
