How to Determine Your Own Sense of Style (Part 1)



Have you ever woke up one morning, looked at your closet and figured you had nothing to wear?

And/or



Do your style changes regularly?

And/or

Do you just think the style that you wear just doesn’t fit you?

If the answer is yes, then I know exactly how you feel.


Growing up, I too, was a person who would change styles every so often. I would change my style every season from Chic to Bohemian to Classic. But I felt like it took me forever to discover my own style.

And because of this I felt I would have a fashion dilemma because I had nothing to wear every time. However, this is not to worry about because it’s just a simple misdiagnosis of your own fashion style.

So how does one discover their own style?

There are plenty of styles out there but I am going to describe 3 fashion styles today. The styles I will be talking about today are Classic, Chic and Bohemian.
Now those of you who are not sure what those are I’ll simply explain it and describe what type of personality fits each fashion type.


First one I would talk about is the Classic Style.

A person with the Classic Style has a Type A personality. Now for those who don’t know what that is, that is a person who has a high strung personality, is pretty competitive, work-obsessed, has strong achievement orientation, and is extremely organized, punctual, and conservative. These are mostly your professional ladies.
The Classic style includes a more traditional clean look. Most of your closet is basic attire. Your favorite pieces are the “LBD,” the little black dress, a Black blazer, black pants, white pants, and a black knee-length skirt.  It’s more like a preppy look; however your favorite colors for the classic style are black and white. It shows that neat and “in-control” look. A majority of women who are dressed in the Classic style, love to have that bright red lipstick to show authority. 

Example: Sienna Miller and Angelina Jolie


Next type of style is the Chic style.

The Chic style and the Classic style are extremely similar but they are not. While the classic style women are preppy but really just focus on black and white attire the Chic women also have a preppy style however they embrace colors, especially pastel colors.
The typical Chic women are sophisticated, confident, and cool. These women are trendy yet, they love expensive clothing as well. They know how to put things together beautifully and what I mean by that is that they know how to accessorize! They are very particular with things that they accessorize. They must have the brand name piece such as shoes, handbag scarves, jewelry, belt with their clothing to set that outfit off. They love wearing bold, show-stopping accessories.

Example: Michelle Obama


The next style I am going to describe it the Bohemian style aka the Boho style.

These ladies are more of the hipsters of the fashion industries. They dress somewhat like gypsies and do not really care too much for social restriction, rules, laws and have a care-free spirit. They live how they want to live.
Now if you like dressing Bohemian, you like to be comfortable, and like to be self-expressive. Your closet consists of a lot of loose fitting clothes, flip-flops, slouchy big hats, tie-dyed shirts, groovy beads and batik prints.

Examples: Nicole Ritchie and Vanessa Hudgens
