How To Find Your Signature Style In Fashion

There was a time when dressing up made me overwhelmed and anxious. I needed a put-together outfit in limited time but all I could see were random clothes all over my wardrobe. This was before I found “My Signature Style”. Trust me, it saves time, money, and on top of that, the emotional grinding. In this blog, I will reveal how I found my signature style in fashion. The DIY guide will help you discover yours that you can carry effortlessly. 

Identify Your Taste

Signature style is when you have an “emotionally pleasing” wardrobe.  A collection you can trust will make you feel confident.  

Understanding what makes you feel “YOU” is truly important in fashion. It’s a balance between comfort and a well-organized look for every day. As Rihanna said, "How I dress depends on how I feel. I never have to psych myself up. Usually, it just feels like it works". 

It’s like finding your taste and adding elements that genuinely reflect you. Do oversized sweaters give you a natural confidence boost? How do floral or strip patterns make you feel? Once you figure this out, it will help you make more focused decisions rather than just buying everything impulsively.  

Understand Your Body Type 

Analyze your current wardrobe and see why you reject some clothes. It can reveal your fabric, necklines, and cut preferences. Have you ever noticed how some clothes empower us more naturally than others? That’s because the right clothes speak for us.

Your signature style is about finding those particular pieces within your preferred fashion styles that flatter your body and highlight your best features. For example, V-neck lines make my shoulders appear shorter. 

For my pear-shaped body, dark bottoms, mules, and A-line dresses work best for the places I go to. Some people make a different body type that is a mix of the basic ones. Knowing yours will make your fashion game strong and fun!  

A Colour Palette That Compliments You 

This is the most fun part for me. When I started dressing up in the right colours, I was LIT-UP! Doing a seasonal colour analysis and what goes best with my skin tone was better than blindly following trends. 

This requires a deep conversation but one way to know it is by analyzing your wrist veins. Stand in the daylight and see if your veins appear bluish/purplish then you have a cool undertone. For yellow/peachy it’s a warm earthy tone. If it’s hard to decide, then you have a neutral undertone. 

Pinterest can be the best starting point if you haven’t yet analyzed your signature style. Features like a pinboard help you to organize and save your style preferences and take inspiration. 

Learn How To Accessorise 

Yes, you can accessorize your look by wearing particular pieces as your signature style. As I have a warm undertone, I am always wearing a small gold pendent, with gold statement hoops. 

The more minimalist it is, the better. The point is to be comfortable anyway but with a persistent personal image. Polished nails and composed hair can also accessorize your look.  

Once you analyze it, create a capsule wardrobe with the chosen pieces, like 3-4 bottoms, tops, blazers, bags that will go with every outfit, and shoes. Mix, match, and slay!
