Style Evolution: How to Find Your Signature Look

Finding your unique style isn't just about acting trendy; it's really uncovering how you express your unique personality as reflected in clothes and all things related to it.

As time passes by, you change the way you dress because of life, how your body grows and changes, or how your taste buds have evolved. Finding your signature look is powerful to uplift your confidence and make simple decisions about your outfit. Here is how you can start this path into your own personal style evolution and find a look that reflects who you are.


1. Understand Your Current Style

Just evaluate what you're already wearing currently. Evaluate the components of your closet and highlight those clothes you used the most. Are you into crisp fitted blazers, long flowing maxi dresses, or good old jeans and tees? Noticing these patterns helps you understand your style preferences. Ask yourself: 

  • What colors do I wear the most?

  • Which outfits make me feel most confident?

  • Are there any shapes or fabrics that I come across repeatedly? 


2. Gather Style Inspiration

Inspiration is left right and center: fashion magazines, Pinterest, and Instagram; even street-style photography - collect it all. Compile a mood board/digital collage of looks that really speak to you. Don't limit yourself to one aesthetic. Gather inspirational images, and then look for the commonalities-the palette, textures, accessories, overall vibe-which join them together.


3. Define Your Style Keywords

After collating a ton of inspiration, narrow down your search by collecting three to five keywords that summarize the look you intend to go for. For example: Minimalist, Structured, Neutral. 

  • Minimalist, Structured, Neutral

  • Boho, Earthy, Relaxed

  • Edgy, Urban, Monochrome


4. Curate a Capsule Wardrobe

A capsule wardrobe is a collection of curated items that are multiuse, ageless, and make your unique style. Cluttering things, saving time, and that all of the pieces will fit into your closet. Focus on:

  • High-quality basics (e.g., white shirts, fitted jeans, blazers)

  • A cohesive color scheme

  • Pieces that suit your lifestyle and body type


5. Experiment and Evolve

ROCK IT in experimentation! Fashion is meant to be enjoyable, and your signature style has to adapt. Add color blotches here and there, try out different kinds of textures, vintage-modern mixtures. The beauty of going beyond your limit would be the unexpected extras that will become a part of your signature look. 


6. Tailor Your Clothes

An outfit that fits perfectly into the body will make you suddenly more alluring. Search for an efficient seamster who knows your figure in and out so that adjustments can be made to take all pieces into shape.


7. Invest in Signature Pieces

Signature pieces are those that create your signature and make an unforgettable statement. A leather jacket, red lipstick, chunky boots, gold chain necklace - any of these could be a signifier. Buy good ones because they will not be part of a single outfit.


8. Stay True to Yourself

A signature style has only one foundation, and that is authenticity. So, do not accept every trend blindly. Take trends, modify them to suit your core aesthetic, and only then will you feel like the best version of yourself.


Final Thoughts

Style translates the career path you choose into living expressions of your tastes, beliefs, and personality. Signature looks are not found in a day; with intention, trial and self-awareness will help you amass a wardrobe you feel good in, that also empathizes strongly on an aesthetic level.
