What to Wear?

I'm really having trouble figuring out my style. I don't like anything too crazy, but I don't like too casual as well. Any advice? Thanks!

To figure out your "style" here are a couple things to ask yourself and think about.

  • What do you want people to notice about your appearance? (ex: slim waist)
    • This can help you decide what types of clothes will look good on you. If you want to accentuate something, try to draw attention to it with brighter colors, patterns, etc. Don't wear things that distract from your natural beauty, though. Fashion should add to what you already have, it shouldn't cover you.
  • What don't you want people to notice about your appearance? (ex: short neck)
    • This is just as important. Don't draw too much attention to this. For the example, a v-neck or scoop neck might help elongate your neck, but don't wear too much jewelry, etc. that will draw attention.
  • What do you feel comfortable wearing? (ex: heels?)
    • Don't wear things you don't feel comfortable in. You will later regret it.
  • What type of clothing will be practical for your lifestyle? (ex: if you go in nature a lot, maybe a more athletic style would be most practical)
    • Don't wear things that will interfere with your daily activities.
  • Do you have a fashion idol? (ex: Audrey Hepburn)
    • You can get inspiration from this person. That doen't mean copy them, just allow yourself to open up to new ideas and maybe think about their style when deciding on your own.
  • What is your budget? Most people have one, although most people wish they didn't. (ex: under $200 for an outfit)
    • Five words: Don't. Go. Over. Your. Budget. Trust me, you can find it for less. Somewhere.
