I know that finding your fashion style can be a really hard task. In fact, you need to know yourself and listen to what you like when dressing up. Understand what your goal is when dressing up and what kind of clothing you prefer. For instance, you might choose to wear specific items you like, dress within a fashion style, or for the motive to feel powerful, glamourous, or even just comfortable. Finding your purpose and preference can be challenging, but I got your back on this girl, so let’s dive in!
First of all, you need to understand that your fashion style is a personal choice. You may enjoy wearing clothes from different fashion styles, you may wish to play with colours and try new combinations, or you may want to stick to a certain type of style and just customise with different accessories that make your outfit stand out each time.. What I am trying to say here, is that fashion is a vast world where there is space for everyone, so go for it sis, and express yourself completely through your fashion style.
I can not emphasise this point enough: Get out of your comfort zone! It is time for you to feel comfortable and like yourself when choosing what to wear. You got this girl! So do not feel afraid to take that step, and be the master of your own fashion style. You need to be aware about what you love and appreciate in terms of clothing.
