How To Dress To Actually Feel Like You

Everyone wants to feel good in what they're wearing. This is why dressing to feel like yourself comes in. When you wear clothing that you like, not only can it affect how you feel that day, but also the course of your day, as not feeling 100% can have a plateau effect on your work quality and everything within your day. For example, wearing your favourite smart clothes to an important presentation at work can instantly boost your confidence, allowing you to present how you wanted to.

But how do you dress to actually feel like you? In a world impacted by social media, where there are new trends every day, it's easy to fall into the trap of joining every trend that you see, thinking that you like it, just for it to end up at the bottom of your wardrobe a few months later. Establishing your own style, it means that you are less likely to fall into these traps, thus saving money as well as the environment.

So, if you want to learn how you can dress to feel like yourself, read on and discover tips and tricks, so you can build a wardrobe of items that you love and also make you feel good.

Step 1. Audit your current wardrobe

Looking at your current wardrobe is the best place to start when it comes to dressing to feel like yourself. First, you need to look at what you wear, which includes looking at fabrics, colours, silhouettes and styles that you reach for every day and that you feel best in. This provides a good place to start when moving forward by giving you an idea of what you already like. This also gives you a chance to sort out your wardrobe, donating and giving away pieces that you never reach for and rediscovering items that you love but struggle to style.

Step 2. Define your style in 3 words

Defining your style in 3 words not only gives you direction when looking at your current wardrobe, but also helps when buying any new clothing or accessories, such as titanium jewellery. An example of this could be ‘colourful, comfy and experimental’ or ‘monotone, classic and simple’. You should keep these descriptions in mind when shopping to avoid any impulse purchases that do not fit into our style or wardrobe. This ensures that you do not end up with random and mismatched items which you only wear once or never at all.

Step 3. Discover and experiment

Discovering your style through experimentation is the best way to understand what you like and do not like. You can do this by trying clothes on in shops that you usually wouldn't gravitate towards, as well as borrowing friends' clothing in difference shape and colours so you can branch out as well as truly discover what suits you best. In addition to this, you can also look at websites such as Pinterest for any inspiration when it comes to outfits, where you can browse through trends of style to find something that you love.
