What is personal style?

Personal style is just way above simple clothing, it is a way a person chooses to express themselves through what they wear and how they carry it. How an individual brings different clothes together to form an outfit of comfort, class, elegance, or a certain vibe.

Tips to find your personal style!

Create a Capsule Wardrobe

The foremost step to figuring out your personal style is to run a hand through your own wardrobe and look for what you already have, such as a kurta with palazzo, ethnic dress set, evening dresses, etc. My personal best would be a Chikankari Kurti. Style it with simple white pants or even palazzos and you’ll get out and own it! Connect with your wardrobe and have a look at what you feel when you put them on.

Another option would be to go black, if you’re worried about experimenting with colors. Black means having nothing to worry about mixing and matching and is generally a safe option. It can be worn in multiple ways and still give a fabulous flare and attraction. Black is a color you run to if your brain can't decide what to wear. Go with black ethnic wear and a simple pair of Jhumkas.

Seek Inspiration

Looking at how different people carry themselves and how they wear one piece of fabric in different ways is one way to get inspired to attempt of being creative. Start with a simple step of scrolling through Instagram or searching for "design for kurtis” and "ethnic wear for women”, and find tips like how in general women carry themselves elegantly in simple cotton dresses.

Another way would be to grasp inspiration from celebrity looks. The kurta sets that they pair up, the mix & match of lehengas and jackets, the jewelry that they put on and so much more. They tend to set a trend that the audience follows.

Window shopping online or offline would be an additional trick. You could walk around and have a look at how they dress up mannequins and what they hang in the stores to attract customers.

Do a Closet Audit

Performing a closet audit opens up doors for trying and finding out something new about yourself and how you can be capable of setting a new style or trend. You could mix and match different styles and colored Kurtis with stylish and rare bottoms. If it doesn't give you the vibe you're looking for, there is always an option of googling online Indian dresses or just simple ethnic dress set.

 

Create a Wishlist

First and foremost, explore your body type. We are all unique in our ways and it works differently for each individual to carry a style in a certain way. Before feeling wowed and amazed by the looks the celebrities and models put up online, think about your body type and spend more time searching for how people with your body structure put together fabrics to create their outfits.

We are all beautiful in our way with awesome styles! Use these tips and figure out your personal style and create an unforgettable vibe!
