The coming-together of all the items in your wardrobe should give some indication of your personality and tastes in style, but often when you come to put on an outfit and look in the mirror, it can seem like there’s no shining element of your personality coming through. That is, after all, why we curate our styles – to reveal something about ourselves and to show off our individuality. Help is at hand though! These simple tips will enhance the little bits of ‘you’ you’re most keen to put on show, without having to reinvest in a whole new wardrobe.
Accessorize
This is a great way to express yourself without having to change the style of your outfits whatsoever. Jewelry can say a lot about your general persona, expressing personal tastes and giving others an idea of what you stand for – whether that be spiritually Buddhist or aggressively gothic! The same goes for quirk bags, unique shoes and dazzling hats – take a hunt, and you’ll find something suitably ‘you’ to add to your style.
Use Cosmetics
Often, makeup is seen as a way to accentuate your God-given features, bringing out sharp edges to your face, softening your skin and making your lips oh-so-delicious. However, there’s more to be extracted from the huge range of products now on the market. If you want to be seen as out-of-the-ordinary, combining your beauty with your creativity, then the cosmetic aisles are a good place to start. Colorful eyeshadows or strikingly dark lipsticks will make you stand out as an individual and get you noticed as a fun, creative person when you’re out and about.
Stamp Your Mark on Clothes
Instead of purchasing new clothes, how about you decorate them with everything and anything that’s close to your heart. At Patches 4 Less you’ll find custom patches that can be sewn onto jackets and bags to show your affiliations and passions to passersby. Then there’s buttons and badges that you can pick up from the internet or thrift stores, declaring whether you’re a biker or a hiker, declaring your love for The Rolling Stones or you love dogs. All of which gives a definitive taste of what’s underneath the clothes you’re wearing.
Be Bold and Creative
There are outfits, and there are outfits; what you’re trying to do is break the mold and see your own personality breakthrough for all to see. So, when it comes to considering your wardrobe, why not live a little on the wild side and make some snips, cuts or additions that are entirely your own work. You’ll feel more unique and confident to be wearing something you’ve helped create, and you’ll never face the feeling of meeting someone in matching clothing again.
These suggestions should get you well on your way to dazzle your friends with a style that oozes your charm and personality at first look. Then, it’s up to you to ensure that what’s worn on the outside matches what’s on the inside!
