Finding your style can be a real challenge. What suits us, what doesn't suit us, what do you like or dislike? Here are some tips to help you find your style.

1) Define your body shape

Before defining your style, it's essential to clearly identify your body type. Here are the 5 main body types:

  • H with hips the same width as the shoulders;
  • O: curves with a generous chest;
  • A: for those with a narrow bust and generous hips;
  • Inverted V or A: if you have shoulders wider than your hips;
  • 8: you have generous and well-defined curves but above all a marked waist.

Once you've defined your body type, you'll know your strengths and which part of your body to highlight. For example, for a figure 8, consider highlighting your waist, and for an A-type, choose straight-leg jeans. This way, you can say goodbye to cuts that don't flatter or flatter you.

2) Define your color profile

Colorimetry is the art of choosing the colors that suit you best. Do warm colors suit you better than cool ones? Knowing your season and your colors will make it much easier to define your clothing style.

And I'm sure you didn't know yet that colors affect our mood! Pink, for example, can put people in a good mood. White gives an impression of purity, while black immediately creates a very elegant and deep look. Colors say a lot about our personality and are an excellent way to convey a message. So never overlook their power in creating your personal style.

3) Take inventory of your wardrobe

Look at the clothes you already own. Which ones do you wear the most, which ones make you feel beautiful, and which ones you've never worn before? This will give you an idea of ​​your style and fit preferences.

To feel comfortable in your clothes, there's no need to go for pieces you won't feel comfortable in, which is why it's a good idea to look at what you're already wearing. There's no point in forcing yourself to go for pieces that aren't easy for you, as you risk feeling like you're in disguise every day.

If you mostly wear skirts, you have a more feminine and preppy style. If, on the other hand, you're a fan of leather biker jackets, your style is more rock . Finally, if you own a dozen pairs of sneakers, your clothing style is more streetwear-oriented.

But be careful, a piece of clothing shouldn't be placed in a specific category. Take jeans, for example: flared jeans are very different from skinny jeans and will create a completely opposite look. It's up to you to identify your style based on your desires and how you combine the pieces.

4) Find the subjects that suit you best

Fashion plays with materials, colors, and cuts. Once you've determined which colors flatter you and which cuts suit you best, it's essential to identify the materials that flatter you.

Cotton, leather, satin, linen, or stretch— these materials don't all have the same look and belong to fairly defined styles. For a rock chic look , opt for leather or faux leather. For a romantic bohemian style, linen and lace will be your materials of choice. Finally, if you want to add sex appeal to your style, opt for stretch materials or satin .

But always keep in mind that fashion is all about proportion and balance and that you should mix colors and materials sparingly.

5) Create a style board and an inspiration board

In fashion, as in life, it's important to seek inspiration. By flipping through magazines, browsing social media, or simply watching people pass by on the street, you'll get a good idea of ​​what's out there and what's currently trending. Observe and note what you like, as well as what you don't. This will make it easier for you to identify different styles that might suit you.

6) The most important thing is to try

Once you've found your favorite style, all you need to do is find the clothes that match. We highly recommend trying them on to make sure the style suits you.

Visit stores to try them on, and don't hesitate to ask the sales assistants or consultants to help you choose. It's always helpful to get an outside opinion to make sure you're choosing the right pieces.
