Let’s face it – finding a style that feels like youcan be a challenge, no matter your age. I’ve worked with so many women who felt lost in their wardrobes, unsure of what actually suits them or brings them joy. But here’s the thing: style isn’t about being trendy; it’s about finding pieces that feel effortless and right. Whether you’re 25, 45, or beyond, discovering your style is possible and empowering!
Why Finding Your Signature Style Matters
Your style can be so much more than just the clothes you wear. When we’re wearing pieces that feel right, it affects our mood, our confidence, even how we carry ourselves. I’ve seen firsthand – there’s a shift that happens when a woman truly connects with her style. She lights up, feels comfortable, and walks out the door ready to take on her day.
I’ll never forget one of my beautiful clients in particular who experienced this, after working with me to update her style. She was a solopreneur, ready to take her business to the next level, and had several corporate meetings and media interviews coming up. When we worked through the pieces she had in her wardrobe, it became obvious that not only had her lifestyle changed, but her style in general had too. Together we created a list of pieces to shop for, and after gaining a strong sense of the style my client was wanting to emanate, I was able to select the ideal pieces for our shopping session. Watching her face and seeing the transformation in her confidence as she tried each item on was such a joy, we had found her signature style.
Step 1: Reflect on Your Lifestyle and Values
Let’s start with the basics – what’s your life like day to day? Maybe you’re juggling work and family, running errands, meeting friends, or a bit of everything! Getting clear on your lifestyle makes it easier to choose pieces that fit your life. After all, your clothes should support you, not complicate things!
Maybe think about what you want from your style and ask yourself this… “ If your wardrobe had a personality, what would it be right now? Does it feel like ‘you’, or is something missing?”
Step 2: Draw Inspiration from Your Surroundings
Inspiration is everywhere. Think of your favourite style icons, maybe even the outfits you love on Pinterest or Instagram. Start noticing what makes you smile – whether it’s certain colours, patterns, or a whole vibe. These clues help piece together a style that feels personal, unique, and timeless.
When I work with clients, I ask them to find a few outfits that really speak to them. Usually, we’ll start to see a theme emerge – it could be bold colours, classic cuts, or soft, cozy textures. Finding your signature style is about recognizing those little things that make your heart sing.
Step 3: Understand Your Body Shape and Colour Palette
Here’s where it really gets fun – finding pieces that make you shine. Every body is unique, and understanding what flatters your shape can make a world of difference. You don’t have to follow anyone else’s ‘rules’ – it’s about what feels right on you.
And let’s talk colour! Finding shades that complement your skin tone and make you glow is such a confidence booster. Don’t be afraid to try a few different colours to see what feels amazing.
Step 4: Experiment and Evolve
Your style is a journey, not a destination! Trying new pieces here and there, or even adding a statement accessory, can help you explore without committing to a big change. Start with one piece that feels different but still feels you.
A little tip for evolving your style… Sometimes, we just need to give ourselves permission to change things up! Style isn’t set in stone, and experimenting with new looks can bring out parts of you that you didn’t even know were there.
Step 5: Embrace Timeless Over Trends
Let’s talk about trends – they’re fun, but they can be distracting! When you focus on timeless pieces, you build a wardrobe that’s ‘you’ year after year. Find a few staples you love, then mix in a trend piece or two if it speaks to you. This way, you stay true to your style without feeling pressured by what’s ‘in’ or ‘out’.
In my own wardrobe, I’ve got a few pieces I return to again and again – they’re simple, classic, and they never let me down! The more I invest in timeless staples, the less tempted I am by trends that only last a season.
Finding Confidence in Your Unique Style
At the end of the day, discovering your style is about feeling comfortable in your own skin. Let go of any rules or expectations, and embrace what feels good. Style is a celebration of who you are, right here and now!
