A Complete Guide to Finding Your Signature Style

-

 Okay, real talk—I used to have no clue what my style was. My closet was packed, but I’d still stand there every morning thinking, “Why do I hate everything in here?” The truth? Most of it wasn’t really me.

A Complete Guide to Finding Your Signature Style

I’d buy trendy stuff because everyone else was wearing it. Or I’d grab something random on sale, just because it was cheap. And yeah… shocker… I never actually wore half of it.

Finding my signature style literally changed everything. Getting dressed feels way easier now. Shopping isn’t stressful. And I finally look like, well… myself.

Here’s how I figured it out (and how you can too):

1. Notice your repeat offenders.
You know those pieces you wear to death? Yeah, those are clues. For me, it was white tees, wide-leg trousers, and blazers. I’d flirt with bold prints, but honestly, they never stuck.

If you’re always reaching for jeans and sneakers, or maybe dresses and sandals, that says something about what feels natural for you.

2. Ask yourself how you want to feel.
Clothes are vibes, not just fabric. Do you want to feel powerful? Soft? Relaxed? A little edgy? I’m all about polished-but-chill. If I feel stiff or fussy, it’s an instant no.

3. Make a messy mood board.
Pinterest, screenshots, even a folder on your phone. Save anything that makes you go, “Omg yes.” Don’t overthink it. Later, scroll back and you’ll see a pattern.

When I did this, I realized I wasn’t boho, even though I liked the idea of it. My board was basically neutrals, sharp blazers, and easy silhouettes. That was my style staring back at me.

4. Be honest when you experiment.
Listen—I once bought a floral maxi dress because I thought it would make me look effortlessly chic. Spoiler: it didn’t. It just sat in my closet judging me.

Trying stuff is fine, but if you feel like you’re wearing a costume? Probably not your vibe.

5. Double down on your staples.
Once you know your “main characters,” build around them. For me: blazers, trousers, neutral tops. For you it might be jeans, boots, silk shirts—whatever you live in.

Suddenly even lazy outfits look like you actually tried.

Final Thought

Your signature style isn’t about trends. It’s about what feels right on you. Once you figure it out, you’ll save money, shop smarter, and stop feeling like your closet is working against you.

So next time you’re holding something in a store, ask yourself: “Would future-me actually wear this… or is it just cute on the hanger?” If it’s the first one, congrats—you’re closer to your real style.

Let’s talk honestly, woman to woman. There are days—ugh, those days—when you catch your reflection and sigh. Your jeans feel tight, your energy’s low, and everything you try on just feels... wrong. The scale might not have budged, but your mood sure did. And somehow, the mirror knows. I’ve been there more times than I can count. Here’s what I’ve learned: feeling “off” in your body isn’t permanent. It’s not your size, not your worth, not even the real you. It’s a passing moment. But the right outfit? That can change your entire vibe in minutes.

But the secret is texture —not just tossing on basic leggings and a tee. Try this combo: Flowy black palazzo pants Ribbed or wrap black top (something that defines your shape, gent...

Let’s talk honestly for a second. How many times have you bought a lip liner that looked amazing in the store… only to get home, try it on, and realize it either made you look washed out or like you’d drawn your lips with a crayon? Been there. Way too many times. The truth is, finding the right lip liner is a little like dating — you’re looking for one that just gets you . It needs to blend in , enhance , and stay through life’s ups and downs (okay, or at least your second coffee). Luckily, there are a few holy grail liners that do all of the above — no matter your skin tone, lipstick shade, or even if you’re going bare-faced. So let’s break it down. 💄 What Actually Makes a Lip Liner “Universal”? We throw that word around a lot, but here’s what I really mean when I say these go with everything: They mimic or gently boost your natural lip tone They’re neither too pink nor too brown — they sit right in the middle They’re smooth, not dry or draggy They stay put , even after...
