How can you create a confident personal style?

Your body knows what fits it. Should you put something on and you feel uncomfortable. Change outfit, so not to have that feeling all day.

By taking your cues from within - your personality, your type, your needs and preferences, your lifestyle - rather than from social media, celebrities or even friends, and going with what feels like YOU. Knowing what is appropriate for various occasions is important too. If you don't have an innate sense of style, color or what to wear where, hiring a professional is a good investment.

I also believe that identifying some key words that you want to define your style and your personal brand are critical. This will help to guide your path as you shop and get dressed going forward.

Confidence is all about how we feel. On those days when our spirits need a lift, it's about finding that personal pick-me-up, whether it's a refreshing blow-dry, a swipe of lipgloss, or reaching for that outfit that radiates positivity. You know what suits you best, so trust your instincts. Don't fall into the trap of following YouTube tutorials that may not align with your unique style. Embrace what makes you perfectly you!

I would say knowing what shades make your complexion pop and know about portion control with silhouettes always dress for yourself don’t dress for others no matter if you get judged for it because it’ll eventually become a trend and means your ahead of your time that’s all. Wear the clothes with good posture and figure out what’s your definition of sexy and also look for inspiration in the streets that’s the number one place where most designers & fashion in general gets their inspiration from but make it your own add your own personal touches and get a tailor or seamstress as well❤️.

This is a great starting point, a good way to build a strong foundation. I find it can also be helpful to identify a few style icons to use as North Stars. If you want to find a timeless classic style you can search images of past and present aesthetes, like Ali McGraw, the Olsons, and Sarah Harris, for example, and create an inspo file to pull from…maybe you emulate a shoe-pant combo from one and a hairstyle or hair color from another, and hunt down the earrings from a third…this way you have a consistent but clever handle on your looks.

We must first trust in God who will always help us as long as we trust in Him and exert our utmost effort to accomplish any thing, then our true self-confidence, will automatically appears to others as: - Confidence in our walk without arrogance, conceit, or weakness - in choosing our clothes that express our ambition and confidence. - when meeting people for the first time, giving equal respect to all. - when listening carefully to others & understand what they say. - when presenting our opinions and ideas or responding to others. - in success when starting any new task, job. or relationship. In short, we must develop our confidence in ourselves so that this is reflected in our style and approach when dealing with others.

Your style personality is something you could play with. What if your not one to wear bodycon dresses, you have a look of close fitting at top in mind and can't find the dress. A mini bodycon dress and skirt might give the look your going for. You can really play about. Crop jacket are really good choices for many looks.

Developing a confident personal style involves self-awareness, experimentation, and authenticity. Reflect on your personality and lifestyle to align your style with your identity. Seek out inspiration, new colors, patterns, & silhouettes. Focus on tailored clothing that flatters your shape; invest in quality pieces that stand the test of time. Accessories elevate your look, experiment with jewelry & scarves. Choose colors that complement your skin tone, incorporate signature pieces that are uniquely yours. Own your style with confidence, adapt as you evolve. Seek feedback from others to offer new perspectives. Remember, true confidence comes from feeling comfortable in your own skin. Let your personal style reflect the best version of you.

Here’s a perfect spot to add in a vintage piece from your mom, or an equally meaningful find from the secondary market, that adds a patina to your style profile. Nothing makes an outfit look more authentic then some provenance. And, this is a great way to make wardrobing special, affordable, and, that oh so important concept, conscientious.

To this I would add give yourself a signature. A modern signet ring that you are never seen without, a show stopping handbag that everyone knows is yours whether you are carrying it or its on the chair, a shoe style that you can almost be expected to have on (think: a Manolo mule in all the colors and skins you could need).

Building a versatile wardrobe should be done with quality in-mind always. These are going to be the backbone, the workhorses in your wardrobe. Spend the extra money to make sure they will last through wear.

Experiment with what you already own, wearing pieces in unusual ways, for example, by turning a gathered skirt with an elasticated waistband into an asymmetrical top and adding a belt, wearing a cardigan buttoned at the back, or pinning a brooch to your waistband. Don't be afraid to look ridiculous, you don't have to take each outfit outside, it's about expanding your mind and your possibilities :-)

Plot twist: give one section if your closet an alter ego! If you are classic-with-a-twist, make your activewear super sleek and modernist. Are you a minimalist? Make your dress up clothes maximalist!

As you experiment and play with your looks, take pictures in the mirror. You will see a different perspective than what your eye sees. This is especially useful as you are deciding on shoes and accessories.

I have noticed that everyone appreciates a compliment. Once you are dressed and out the door, forget about your own style and share your admiration for others that look good, have a great item on, or just have a great smile…you can even notice a perfume scent.

Confidence is magnetic. When you feel amazing, you put out a different vibe. Be who you be! And let others be who they be. The world would be boring if we all dressed the same.

I spent almost every week, for ten years, crisscrossing the Midwest and living out of a suitcase. Having a wardrobe that did not wrinkle and a well-built carry-on suitcase were the two best investments I made.

Keep it simple. Wear muted tones like beige white etc. also don’t over do it. Fashion is all about keeping it simple. So when you are not sure but super cool basics and style them in a most classy way possible. My first go to recommendation would be wear like a white shirt with beige pants
