How to Identify Your Personal Style

Many people don’t really know what their personal style is because they have never really thought about it. What they have done is to blindly follow the fashion of the day whether it suits them or not. They are happy because they feel fashionable, but with a little more thought, they could look extremely attractive and still be fashionable.

This is because there are many styles in vogue today, to suit any number of people, and the classic styles never go out of fashion. But personal style encompasses more that just what you wear. A young women gave up her job as an Avon representative because she discovered that she was not a powder and polish person. She found that she was a dirty jeans and cow manure kind of gal. This kind of self-discovery will help you find your own personal style.

So to identify your personal style, ask yourself if you are truly happy with what you are wearing, both in clothes and make-up. Do you really feel happy and comfortable in that, or do you only wear it because it is expected of you? Sometimes we have become so used to what we wear, that the thought of doing something different sends shivers up our spine.

If this is you, take along a good friend and try on some clothes that you would never normally wear. It can be fun, and if nothing else you will have had a good laugh. One the other hand you might find that something else suits you so well that you simply must have it. If trying on clothes in the store is something you hate, go and buy a bag of ‘other style’ clothes from a shop that sells used clothing. That way it won’t cost you a bomb to find out what else could suit you. You can always donate them back when you’re done.

The same thing happens with hairstyles. We sort of grow into something that suited us at one stage in our lives, but is now quite out-dated. Go to a good hair stylist and ask to try on some wigs of different styles and colors. Choose some that you would never usually even dream of. You may just surprise yourself.

Long hair suits young people admirably, but as we get older, short hair is often more becoming. If you want to change your style, you have two choices. Go ‘cold turkey’ and get all those locks cut off and styled into something short and chic, or have it done gradually. Ask the hairdresser to give you a style of mid-length hair until you - and your friends - get used to it, then go the next step and have it cut even shorter.
