Finding Your Aesthetic

Trends come and go, but your personal style is forever, even if it shifts and changes. But finding your personal style can be tricky, which is why we spoke to style experts to bring you plenty of hot tips:

  • Image consultant Elle Monus says, "I fully believe that your best signature style is one that is closest to the most authentic version of you. You can create whatever look you’d like, but authenticity is what sells it."[1]
  • Fashion stylist and image consultant Tara Williams tells us that with her clients, she asks them to think: "What is the image they want to project in the world, how do they want to be perceived by others?... What do they want people to know about them without them even saying anything?"[2]
  • Fashion stylist Natalie Tincher says, "As with all styles, the trick is to incorporate elements that reflect YOUR personality and preferences... think about your emotional ties to your clothing choices and what you want to express through your wardrobe.[3]
  • Image consultant Kalee Hewlett advises, "It’s actually about finding out 'Okay, who am I and how do I like to dress and what represents me the most...'"[4]
  • Personal wardrobe stylist Yvette Jordan tells us it's about "figuring out what you're comfortable in, like try on different pant silhouettes... Try on everything. And try on the pant that when you put it on, you're like, wow, I look really good... you're going to feel amazing. Because you know you look how you want to look."[5]
