Feeling stuck in a fashion rut? Try this


What's your style personality? Knowing yours can boost your fashion confidence, streamline your wardrobe and reduce time spent shopping.


1) Identify your style personality: read the link

2) SHAKE UP your look by borrowing elements of a complementary style, try this: 

If you are Classic/Elegant
Experiment by mixing up some classic patterns such as stripes and checks
Upscale your jewellery to add a modern twist to your look

If you are Romantic/Feminine                 
Try mixing some hard pieces in with your feminine look to add contrast, like a denim jacket over floral dress
Break up the soft, floaty feel with some sharper lines, try a formal jacket with t- shirt and cropped flared trousers

If you are Casual/Natural
Bring texture and subtle patterns into play to mix up the minimalist look
Add some interest to your clothes by looking for extra trim and detail around the neckline
                                   
If you are Dramatic/Trendsetter
Look out for key trends each season and work them into your wardrobe with just one piece. Don't necessarily do the whole look, for example head-to-toe military!
If you think you look a bit OTT - take off the last accessory that you put on!


Shopping for style: how to make it easy

 1. Once you have identified your style personality it's easy to work out where to shop. Don't waste time trawling the high street, once we pass our 20s few of us are likely to relish the prospect of spending an entire Saturday surrounded by teenagers. Identify the shops that stock the brands that suit your style; narrow your shopping choices down to three shops and only visit those. And never spend more than three hours shopping in one go.
2. Make a shopping list (think about it - when was the last time you made a list to go clothes shopping?). Go through your wardrobe before you leave the house. Identify what you need. What will suit your lifestyle? What pieces are you missing? Ask yourself why do you never wear that dress, those skirts? Is it because you have nothing to match them - no shoes to go with the dress, no top to go with the skirts? Add those items to the list.
3. When you get to the shops only buy clothes that match at least three/four other items in your wardrobe. Alternatively, buy a complete outfit.
4. Make the experience pleasurable:)
