your personal wardrobe is probably one of the most important developments in your life. it determines how you feel and how you are perceived. at the same time, perceptions and the resulting psychological preferences play a role. I have analyzed 4 stages here that will help you if you feel lost or overwhelmed. stick to these 4 and you will have found your individual style in the end. or you end up a mess, but even that is a very characteristic style, so thats cool.

Let me know if you have your very own technique to truly find your own personal style?

let me know of your very own rule you stick to, to build your personal style!

@FlaerMcGrathHolmquist 2 years ago

My one guideline is this: an article of clothing should make me want to move my body, whether because of its aesthetic qualities, or because of the feeling of a particular fabric, or because of the fit, or even the way the clothes move with my body, visually and otherwise.

I slowly accepted the old saying “too poor to buy cheap”. As a kid with a low income family, buying cheap shoes was a way of life that I could never turn back to. Not only were they constantly breaking, the comfort and support they lacked has definitely had long term impacts on my feet. I try to buy pairs that are leather so that they stretch and mould to my feet. Interesting video Tuba.

I've spent YEARS to get a cohesive wardrobe, gathering my pieces, forming my style, and investing in things I know I'll never grow out of. it doesn't happen in a week you can't buy a whole new closet and say that's it, it takes time and an understanding of not what's popular in a single season but what fits your personality and what you feel comfortable in !!

My one rule: the road to great style is paved with fashion faux pas. Just own it and move on. Be unapologetic about what you like and ruthless about what you don't like, you don't owe your wardrobe to anybody else than you.

About 3 years ago I adopted a 90’s cowboy esthetic and I havnt looked back. It’s part of who I am now and I can confidently say that it’s the style I’m keeping for the rest of my life

A rule for me is that I only buy pieces that move me, pieces that have soul and integrity as objects (quality and intrinsic beauty). I only thrift and buy vintage designer which allows me to play and experiment. Often I buy a piece because I am moved by jt - the I have to work to learn how to style it in a way that feels like me which is a wonderful learning process. After many years of doing this, I do know what silhouettes/colours suit me and my style for me - and I will still override for a piece that makes my heart wobbly.

I think for me something that is helpful is to go somewhere and be by myself away from people (even just for a day or two) and get myself dressed. I find that when I have time away from others, I get dressed very quickly and purely from an intuitive place. It's never stressful or difficult. The outfits that I create when no one perceives me feel authentic to what I actually love wearing and I just make a quick note of those outfits to look back on as an anchor.

It strikes me that there is a striking parallel between these movements and Nietzsche's phases of moral development. Like an inverse of the"aesthetic criteria of morality"

love thisssss 👏🏼 my rules: know/love your body type/shape, know your measurements, be authentic/real, pay attention to the weather, own your weirdness, experiment, ELEVATE, don't be boring/safe lol....tho biggest thing is to trust & follow your intuition and allow yourself to evolve, embrace change

@thevirgoals 2 years ago

My essential rule in finding my personal style (I think **hope** I have it together now) is finding what I don't like. It's odd but my style really improved when I started paying attention to what I didn't like to see myself in. It was pretty eye opening to see how many times I bought items that just didn't flatter me

@tesnimguesmi6087 2 years ago (edited)

My style is very moody like me, it's like playing characters, a form of disguise without betraying my truth. Today, I'm in a biker aesthetic, tomorrow I might become a working woman in corporate world. I don't know if even we can call this style, it just makes me feel good and/or helps me get through hard days

Knowing yourself should be our number one goal in life; it's the key to achieving anything authentic and original. A related fact is the aphorism 'Know thyself,' inscribed in the pronaos of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi in the Ancient Roman mosaic featuring a skeleton alongside the Greek aphorism 'Know thyself.'

It has been there for thousands of years and its one of the most challenging things to achieve in life. While finding your style might take less time, knowing your true self is a never-ending journey because we are always changing and evolving. So, don't be too hard on yourself; you're doing the best you can.

For me, knowing yourself isn't only about understanding your current state but acknowledging that I'm always changing, learning, and evolving. The awareness of this constant change, to me, is the essence of knowing oneself.

My rule is that the outfit should look good in actual environments that are filled with other people, and still look good. Because sometimes what you wear might look ok in a mirror selfie, but will look plain and boring when compared to other people.

@makeup_onhermind 2 years ago

Stick to your favorite styles and allow for fluidity beyond that. That means, I will forever wear wideleg pants and western booties - but I also have other categories of more frivolous things that get worn less or cycle in and out of my wardrobe (a lot of it secondhand). So I think it's important to embrace two things: 1. Parts of your style will never change, they may sometimes feel boring to you, but it's worth sticking to what you're always comfortable and confident in. 2. Accept that findind your style is never a finished process. You will evolve forever, the world around you will, and so will some of the clothing that you want to wear and the stuff you surround yourself with.

for me my style is an extension of who i am. it's my gameplay in melee, it's my politics, it's my music, it's my writing style. everything in the world is exactly the same.

There is no real formula to how I dress but usually if a child comments positively about my clothes I take it as the biggest compliment there can be !

I also cherish some pieces made by friends specifically for me. These are just the best.
