Don’t underestimate the importance of signature. Fashion icon’s all have things we automatically associate with them. From the classic glamor of Marilyn Monroe to the cutting edge sass of Rihanna, you know what speaks to them. So why not get a handle on what speaks to YOU? The mastering of a signature style is possible for everyone. Here are a few tips to get you started.
Part 2 – Signature Exercise
To help you get started, answer a few simple questions. Who is your favorite designer? What is your favorite cut of jeans? Think about what fashion trends or pieces you would never wear, and why. If you had to wear the same thing everyday, what would it be? Keeping these answers in mind when shopping, and when creating outfits from items already in your closet, will help define your personal style.
Thinking in this self-centric way can be helpful with visual tools like magazines and websites. Make note of what catches your eye. Is it because you love the look or hate it? Be specific. For example, if you can’t get enough of a certain top but would never wear the pants it is being paired with, your well on the way to figuring out your style. Chances are if you are repeatedly drawn to a certain item, it may fit your personality. If you haven’t experimented with that style yet . . . try it out!
Investing in signature pieces is another great way to make your wardrobe unique. Let’s say you find a dress you love that says exactly what you want your signature style to say. It’s priced a little more than you usually spend but you can afford it. A smart shopper would consider this an investment piece and plan as many looks around it as possible. Pair it with a great blazer one day, some tights another day, boots and a scarf, . . . make it your own. Just don’t forget the most important part of any signature look – CONFIDENCE. Own whichever style suits you best. And if you haven’t seen your style walking around out there, great! That just means we are waiting on you to dream it up.
