No one wants to look like a clone of someone else, and this is especially the case for people who are interested in fashion. But, it can often be difficult to come up with a look that is completely and unmistakably your own.
If you are someone who is looking to make your style more unique to you and you need some pointers, I’ve put together some quick tips to help you get started:
Determine your style
First thing’s first, you need to work out what you want your style to be. Kardashian-chic? Parisian sophisticate? Eclectic? Classic? Once you know what kind of style you prefer, it is much easier to choose or reject pieces that fit the right mould and allow you to start building up a unique wardrobe.
Add quirky accents
The easiest way to make your outfits more unique is to add quirky or unusual accessories that other people are not wearing. Whether it’s a fabric bag with a Highland cow print on the front, a pair of 70s style deely-boppers, or a pair of shoes with candy in the heels, anything you can do that will make your outfit distinctive from the rest is a good place to start, and because they are only accessories, you can use them with greater versatility if you feel like switching thing up, too.
Try tailoring
Tailoring is your best friend when you want to look more unique. You can not only use it to endure that your clothing fits you like a glove, but you can also use it to alter the clothes so that they look a bit different from the way everyone else is wearing them, From sewing patches onto a denim jacket for a more boho look to adding a lace insert to a plain blouse, it’s easy to make yourself more distinctive if you tailor your fits.
Mix and match
Mixing and matching your outfits, so that you wear individual pieces together that you would normally choose to, is a simple way of exploring fashion to see what works and what does not. Sometimes, it is the strangest combinations of clothing that make for the most interesting looks.
Go thrifting
The great thing about buying your clothing from thrift stores is that you can find pieces from past generations that you simply would not get in the store today, which means you can automatically make your style more unique than the average, and you’d be surprised how good an old-fashioned wicker purse can look with a modern maxi dress or how great an old piece of lace can look when teamed with your favorite denim jeans. Explore try everything and see what works for you.
As you can see, it is much simpler than you might think to start personalising your look and making it your own. You just need to be willing and open to trying new things and making simple changes that will help you to sand out. So, what are you waiting for?
