If it doesn’t come naturally, then finding your personal style can be a struggle. Not only is developing personal style important to make the best first impression, but it also helps you approach each day with confidence and will enable you to feel good; no matter what you wear. In order to feel confident, it’s important to know what styles suit your physique, what compliments your personality and what really brings out your personal style. Here are some tips on how to develop your personal style:

1. Seek inspiration

Inspiration is all around you! One scroll through your Instagram feed and all you’ll see is inspiration. Look at all your favourite style icons, browse Pintererst and Google and gather inspiration from different platforms. Pull together what you’re drawn to most and start incorporating that in the looks you create.

2. Have a clear out

Go through your wardrobe and look at all the pieces you own. If there’s something you haven’t worn for over a year then it’s time to ditch and start fresh. This gives you the chance to rebuild your wardrobe with a new style that really reflects who you are. Be sure to donate what you don’t want to charity or someone in need.

3. Shop smart

Experiment with new trends and styles, but do it in a smart way. Look for discount pieces or keep your eye out for sales. Invest only in key pieces that you can make use of season after season, such as a leather jacket, a nice warm coat or a good handbag. Pay attention to the detailing on clothing such as embellishments and zippers to ensure they are intact before making the purchase.

4. Stock up on accessories

Say yes to accessories, always! Accessories are without a doubt the easiest way to put a look together. You can make a simple, laid back look uber chic, just by adding accessories. Add a statement necklace to jeans and a white tee or a bright coloured clutch to add a pop of colour to your ensemble.
