Perhaps, you've heard about personal image. All people have their own image, even if they don't do anything for it. When you meet someone, you try quickly imagine - who is this person?
And you think about his hobbies, job, social status, qualities and so on. How can you do it? You look at: clothes, hairstyle, behaviour, accessories, mannerisms etc. But recently I've discovered an incredible thing - people not only have their personal image! They also have their personal style! I mean clothes, accessories and so on. It's like native style, whiсh you have had since birth. How to know - what is your native style?
First of all, you should think about your innate qualities. Who are you? Maybe, you're strong, sporty, kind. Maybe, you like bicyсles or swimming. Maybe, you like to read books. Any strange books? Perhaps, you like to watch Discovery-channel? And so what??? - you can ask me. I'll answer: "You should emphasize these of your qualities or abilities!"
For example, if you are an intelligent person, who likes to read clever books and newspapers, to watch documentary films about philosophy and others. How can you emphasize this?
As a stylist I'll give you some tips:
*try to use glasses, even if you have good eyesight. Play with frames - with colours and styles;
*try "Preppy" style (like a student of "Harvard");
*use simple accessories;
*hairstyle and make up (if you're lady) have to be natural.
And also about other styles.
If you're a bright person, who likes parties, bright things and fashionable devices, you can underline it with some super-trend accessories, fashion clothes, expensive cars and so on.
If you are very communicative person, who likes journeys and adventures. In a word, you are "person of the world", you can show it with comfortable shoes and clothes's style. Simple hairstyle and no make up. Generally, practical clothes and shoes.
After that, you should think about your appearance. What is your color type? (Still don't know? You should read my research of colour types in English here ->)
What is your body type? And which silhouettes are the best for your body type? (Soon I'll translate my article about it and add the link here).
And now you should choose your clothes more consciously. Not only with principle "Like - Not like", and with all these basics:
- Do these clothes show people, who are you? Does it represent your native style (read upper)?
- Do these clothes underline your colourtype and bodytype?
- Is it suitable for your lifestyle?
So, now you should build your new clothes's style and represent your native style. I believe in you. And I know - you can do it!
