Advice Column: How can I improve my personal style/fashion?
I think that the absolute best way to improve personal style is to dress how you want to dress, and not for other people. If you like the trends, then that’s great, but if you don’t, you shouldn’t feel like you have to follow them. If you are unsure of where to start, looking at Pinterest or following celebrities whose style you like is a great way to get a sense for how you want to dress. Finding an aesthetic or style that you really like is a super easy way to build your style. By having an idea of what you want your fashion sense to be, you can look for clothes that would create the aesthetic you want. Another good way to improve your fashion sense is to only buy clothes that you love. Instead of buying a lot of clothes that you just like at the moment, try to have a good amount of basics and then some fun pieces that you really love. Going thrifting is also a great way to find unique clothes, and it is affordable and sustainable. Some clothing brands have a very specific aesthetic as well, so finding brands that you love can also help to create a really cool personal style. It is also important to remember that fashion is always changing, as are people, so something that your friends like you may not, or something that you liked a year ago you may hate now. Just don’t be afraid to try new things or to change your style. All in all, when trying to improve your personal style, staying true to what you like and finding an aesthetic you really love can help to create a really cool personal style.
