Your personal style is a fashion that embodies your personality, style, and way of life. It's your own style fashion that sets you apart. If you are just starting out or rebuilding your wardrobe, use these five steps to create a style that is all your own. 

Step by step guide to create your signature look:

1. Define Your Style Personality

Before you can construct your own style, discover what you like. Ask yourself:

What type of style do you like best: classic, edgy, bohemian, chic, or minimalist?

What colors, patterns, and textures do you feel most comfortable wearing?

Whose style icon is a celebrity or fashionista?

If you love and acknowledge the pieces that are your personal style, constructing an actual wardrobe will be a breeze.

2. Construct a Core Wardrobe of Basics

A signature look typically centers on ageless wardrobe staples. Invest in high-quality basics that compliment your personal style, including:

Timeless essentials – A well-fitted blazer, skinny pants, or LBD.

Begging-for-mercy pieces – A leather jacket, ornate accessories, or classic footwear.

Workhorse staples – White plain T-shirts, fitted pants, or sneakers.

These are the basics, which make your outfits adjustable.

3. Select a Signature Color or Print

One of the binding elements of your signature style is color or print continuity. Consider:

Treating yourself to a signature hue that is perfect for your skin tone.

Treating yourself to signature prints like florals, polka dots, or monochromes.

Treating yourself to textured fabrics like denim, leather, or silk to add depth to your style.

These touches add your fashion personality to being unique and consistent.

4. Accessorize to Take Your Style to the Next Level

Accessories are the secret to ruining a signature look. Pick items that say something about you, such as:

Jewelry – Statement necklace, hoop earrings, or stacked rings.

Bags – Vintage-inspired handbags, totes, or crossbodies for an injection of sophistication.

Shoes – Sneakers for an athletic feel, heels for glamour, or boots for rockstar swagger.

Find accessories that tie your outfits together perfectly.

5. Be Constantly but Experiment from Time to Time

Your signature look must be accessible but leave some space for adaptation somewhere in the middle. Stick to your signature look, but treat yourself to trendy pieces or season upgrader. Consider:

Grafting new silhouettes to refresh your wardrobe.

Mixing opposing textures and layers for added depth.

Shuffling accessories to remain true to fashion movement.

A signature style develops over time, but its spirit needs to be committed to you.

Building a signature style is never trendy—it's about embracing what makes you, you. As you construct your style, construct your closet of essentials, choose statement colors, accessorize with intention, and remain committed to it, you will have a style that is uniquely yours.
