How to find your personal style

Five steps

1. 1

   Look at your favourites

   Pick the five pieces you wear most and love. What do they have in common: colours, shapes, fabrics?

2. 2

   Collect ideas

   Save outfits you like from magazines, social media or the street, for a few weeks.

3. 3

   Find the patterns

   Look at what you saved: the same colours, fits or moods keep coming back.

4. 4

   Name it in three words

   For example: “relaxed, minimal, warm” or “bold, sharp, playful”. Use the words to judge new pieces.

5. 5

   Experiment slowly

   Try one new piece at a time, and keep what feels like you.

Keep it yours

Your style can change with your life, your work and your mood. Revisit your three words every year or two.
