When was the last time you genuinely thought about your style? Even the most stylish women frequently reassess theirs, so don’t think it’s something that should come completely naturally. If you’re not 100% satisfied with your style, here are five questions to help you figure it out:
1. Am I Happy With My Style?
How do you usually feel about the way you dress? Does your style feel like it represents who you are? Is getting dressed each day a breeze, or a chore? Think about the parts of your style you like and the areas that feel off. Getting clear on this will help you know what to work on.
2. Do I Feel Confident When I Walk Out The Door?
Fashion can feel unimportant because trends come and go, but style is different. It’s more about feeling confident. When you like how you look, you present yourself with more assurance.
3. Do I Feel Like Me?
We all enjoy a bit of people-watching and taking style inspiration from others, whether it’s at a coffee shop or on Instagram. But remember, their style works for them because it’s truly theirs. Ask yourself if your style feels like the best version of you, or if you’re following trends that don’t suit your body shape or personality. It’s important your style feels like you, which starts with understanding your own style personality.
4. Does My Style Suit My Lifestyle?
If your closet is full of clothes you rarely wear, your style might not fit your lifestyle. For example, if you’ve retired or started dressing more casually but your closet is still full of formal work attire, creating day-to-day outfits can be tough. I’ve been there—buying too many evening dresses even though I mostly do school runs or work from home! I now focus on adding casual options that fit my daily life, yet still buy the occasional dress that can be dressed down with sandals or sneakers.
5. Am I Stuck In A Style Rut?
If you’re constantly wearing the same things and feel unsure about what suits you, you might be in a style rut. Another sign is if you keep buying similar items when shopping. The good news is that you don’t have to stay in that rut. You can find answers to these questions or even rediscover the fun in styling yourself. There are challenges and tools out there to help you shake things up.
I’d love to know—how do you feel about your style right now?
