Style
Personal or individual style is how a person expresses himself using visual techniques: clothing, accessories, shoes, hair and their combination.
Personal style is not tied to fashion - it is timeless and out of trends. Women in creating a personal style do not rely on short-term trends that will disappear in 2-3 months - they rely on long-term trends, the perception of themselves, lifestyle and other permanent and independent of fashion criteria. Personal style is the ability to dress the way you feel, not the way the fashion industry prescribes.

Why is it important to find your style? Only in this way can you feel harmonious, show your inner filling, highlight your individuality.
There is an opinion that finding your own style is a waste of time and money. The basis of this statement is the idea that modern fashion society is developing fast and does not pay attention to individual women with their individuality.

The editorial staff of DRESS magazine disagrees with this thesis. Finding and adapting your own style is important. And it's not about the desire to meet the expectations of others, but about your own feeling. By finding a style that will reveal and complement, you will be able to feel beautiful and confident. And what the people around you think about it and whether they will notice your individuality - that's the fifth thing.
If you still haven't found your style of dress, that's okay. Finding your personality and pumping up your sense of taste is not a quick thing. We suggest you start creating a personal style with 8 steps - they will help to orient your desires, determine the directions and outline the way you'll shape your closet.
At this stage we will not clutter up the closet - you can do that when you choose a style of clothing. The task of the first step of the style search is to analyze the things that are in your closet.
And although we don't sort out your closet here, you can throw out the things in the second paragraph. Or give them to acquaintances and friends. There is no reason to keep clothes that cause discomfort.
How do you find your clothing style? Look for what you like. Find sources of inspiration, where you can draw ideas of images, look at different combinations of things, colors.
Where to look for inspiration:

Perfectly pumping creative skills shows Haute Couture Fashion Weeks - the looks there are usually a bit strange, but they perfectly demonstrate how to combine incongruities and look harmonious.
This is the most difficult step for those who want to learn how to dress fashionably and combine clothes. The fact is that self-examination is hard. You have to look objectively, not to embellish or aggravate anything. The task at this stage is to understand how you really look.
What to do next? Study materials that are relevant to you:
You don't have to strictly follow all the rules that we've given in these manuals - it's enough to know the basic principles. And if you want to use them, your inner feelings will tell you.
What to consider:
Your individual style should resonate with your lifestyle, profession, and social role. You can infinitely love glamour, but if you don't go out, you shouldn't use it as a basis for your closet. Or you can really like tracksuits, but daily trips to the office and a strict dress code will not allow to build your own style on the basis of sportswear.
For convenience, make a chart - divide your life into segments and see which social role or circumstance takes up most of your time. You should use them as a guide for your closet.
We recommend that you first make a basic closet - a set of things that perfectly match and fit most occasions.
Examples of basic clothes:
But keep in mind that this list is not a panacea. Each of us has a certain way of life and it is better to make a base based on it. If you go to the office, the basic closet will consist of business pants, shirts, chinos. If you're a mom - t-shirts, jeans will be a masthead.
Now that you understand what you like, when you have an idea of your lifestyle, your own figure, you can make a list of things you want to add to your closet.
When compiling a wishlist it is recommended to rely on actual offers of stores, rather than pictures from the Internet - look at directories of popular brands and find things as similar to those that caught your eye on the fashion icons, shows, in magazines.
Make a list of stores and prices and gradually update your closet. If it is financially possible - you can buy all the things in one or two shopping trips and start dressing stylishly.
Individual style can change - that's normal. Changes come with growing up, changing social roles, experiences. Don't be afraid to start over.

And be open to experimentation. Even if you've already picked out a style of clothing - always try new things. Add interesting details, watch out for influencers, follow trends. It all helps to improve your style and add personality.
It doesn't matter how old a woman is - 30, 40 or 50. When searching for a style, the same mistakes are made. We've gathered them in one place to save time and find your own style faster.
What styles exist?
There are at least 80 different styles of clothing, which include simple, understated, and epathetic, and bright. You can see the full list of styles with brief descriptions and decide what's closer.
How to choose the right clothes for your body type?
When choosing clothes according to your body type, you need to know your strengths and weaknesses and correct them with clothes. Read more about the body types - there are 12 of them to choose the right clothes.
Where to dress stylish and inexpensive?
Pay attention to brands and keep an eye out for promotions and discounts - it will help you save a lot of money. In order not to spend a large sum at once, divide the list of desired items into several parts and buy them gradually. For example, with your salary allocate a certain amount and spend it on shopping.
What should be in every girl's closet?
Of course, we could say about a white T-shirt, a black dress and a pencil skirt, but they are by no means always the masthead. As in the case of the basic closet, the list of must-haves is determined individually and depends on the character, lifestyle, profession and social role. There is no universal list, just as there is no universal style.
How can I change my style?
Just like looking for it from scratch: start with an analysis of current things and inspiration, and then move on to practice: decide on the type of figure, choose successful colors, make a list of things you want.
