How To Discover Your Personal Style
/Discovering Your Personal Style
A Path to Confidence, Productivity, and Success for Women
Are you feeling lost or confused when it comes to your personal style? You're not alone. Many women, especially as we go through life, struggle with finding a look that feels true to who we are. But here's the thing—your personal style isn't just about looking good; it's about feeling empowered, boosting your productivity, and even increasing your income.
Yes, you read that right! Dressing well can significantly impact your professional and personal life. When you wear clothing that makes you feel confident and authentic, you're more likely to show up in the world with a clear sense of purpose. You're more likely to walk into that meeting, event, or video call with a presence that demands attention and respect. And let's face it—people respond to that energy. Your outer appearance can communicate professionalism, creativity, and leadership, which can directly impact your business or career.
But how do you find that elusive "authentic" style? Here are three steps to help you discover your personal style, ensuring it not only reflects who you are but also supports your success.
These are the exact three steps I use with my clients in one-to-one services as well as my digital courses to help them curate a wardrobe that reflects their goals, ambitions and works for their lifestyle.
Step #1: Discover your Best Colors
The colors you wear can dramatically impact how you feel and how others perceive you. Have you ever put on a piece of clothing and noticed how it instantly brightened your complexion or boosted your mood? That's the power of wearing the right colors for your unique skin tone.
Start by identifying your undertones (warm, cool, or neutral) and explore which colors make you glow. Whether it's through color analysis or simply trying on different shades, you'll begin to see which colors make you look energized and feel confident. Once you've identified your best colors, you can start building a wardrobe that makes you look and feel radiant every day.
Step #2: Dress for Your Body Shape
Nice clothes are not a reward for attaining a certain dress size! Everyone deserves to look and feel fabulous. Knowing our body shape can get us to stop hiding and start showing up in a way that feels comfortable and safe to us. We all have unique proportions, and it's important to work with what you have, rather than against it.
The key is balance and proportion—creating a silhouette that flatters your natural shape while allowing you to feel comfortable and confident. When your clothing fits well and complements your body, you'll feel more at ease in everything you do.
Step #3 Dress for your Personality
We’ve been dressing for a dress code! Whether it’s at school or our jobs there are rules to adhere to. It’s no surprise that we’ve never discovered what brings us joy when we get dressed! Perhaps the last time we felt that way was when we were toddlers. Don’t you agree?
Your wardrobe should be a reflection of who you are—your interests, your lifestyle, and your personality. One of the best ways to ensure your style feels authentic is by infusing it with elements that speak to your inner self.
Are you more laid-back and casual, or do you love bold, statement-making pieces? Are you drawn to timeless classics or trend-driven styles? Think of your wardrobe as a way to express your personality and values. Consider personality-based dressing frameworks, like my IT Factor, which align your personality with style types to create a wardrobe that feels uniquely you.
It’s worth taking the time to discover your IT factor to bring you joy when you get dressed everyday!
Your personal style journey is about so much more than clothes—it's about embracing your true self and showing up confidently in every area of your life.
By discovering the colors that make you shine, dressing in a way that flatters your unique body shape, and aligning your wardrobe with your personality, you'll not only feel more empowered, but you'll also see a positive shift in how others respond to you, both personally and professionally. And this journey doesn’t stop here!
