Know your colours

We have colours that suit us better than others. If you don’t know your colours, the best way to find them is to try out pieces in different shades and see the colours that suit your natural colouring best. Your favourite colours may not be “your colours”, so play around with various colours to discover the best shades for your natural colouring.

Know your body shape

I have written extensively about knowing your body shape on Fashion and Style Police. You can catch up on some of the posts here and here. Knowing your body shape and what suits your shape best would help you stick to the right pieces that showcase your body in the right way.

Invest in quality items

Once you know your colours and body shape, the next step is to invest in timeless, quality items to create a capsule wardrobe. I always choose quality over quantity, so investing in quality classic items is a must because they are forever stylish and hang around for longer. A great place to start when it comes to investing in quality items is in the bag and shoes department, and then as the need arises and the bank balance allows, you can splurge on other areas.

Be unique and stay comfortable

A personal style should be unique and comfortable. There’s no point in developing a signature look that resembles that of your friend or favourite celebrity. For it to work and stand the test of time, your style needs to be all you. So take your time and discover what that entails to create your look.

Get inspired

I know I just said we should be unique and all, but sometimes, we may struggle to discover what our likes and dislikes are when it comes to fashion and style. So it’s okay to get inspiration from other outlets like fashion magazines, style blogs, and social media. As long as it is just inspiration, that’s fine! I get styling ideas from various sources, and these ideas inspire me to create my look.

Improving your personal style transcends spending a fortune on wardrobe changes or fashion trends. It is all about being authentic and working with styles that resonate with this.

Explore your Wardrobe

Start by checking out your wardrobe. Improving your personal style works the same way as building any other habit. As a result, intentionality is critical. An excellent way to start is by dressing up regardless of whether or not there’s an occasion. This is a great way to explore your wardrobe and identify styles you naturally gravitate towards. Also, you could take stock of what you have and what is missing from your wardrobe. 

Pay attention to your Body type and skin tone

Finding and developing a personal style is a personal journey, and your personality plays a huge role. Understanding your body style can steer you in the right direction.

By understanding your body type and paying attention to your skin tone, you can opt for clothes that accentuate your body type while making your skin pop. 

Shop Strategically

If you’ve always been jumping on every fashion trend, it’s high time you dropped that habit. 

Aside from wasting valuable cash, one backlash of jumping on fashion trends or impulse buying is that you would usually end up with a pile of clothes you’ll probably never wear because they just do not fit.

It’s time to break that habit. After exploring your wardrobe, you should be able to create a list of items you need. Let those be the priority when you go shopping. You can always add other things that interest you to a wishlist instead of buying them right off the rack.

Incorporate textures 

Whether you are a fan of basic clothing or have a ton of them lying in your wardrobe, incorporating textures is a sure way to elevate that basic look.

Adding textures like leather, metallics, cashmere, and silk to your collection and pairing them with your basic staples can be a great way to look chic and elevated.

Pay attention to your footwear

Whenever you feel your outfit is just not it, check your footwear. They can literally make or break your look. The best part about investing in footwear is how effortlessly they complement your look and their versatility. From ballet flats and loafers to trendy sneakers, footwear is totally worth the hype.

Accessorize 

Timeless accessories are a must-have. Whether it is a delicate pendant or a statement earring, accessorising delivers that final touch of class your outfit needs. Don’t sleep on accessories!

Having a wardrobe that exudes your personal style can be a great confidence boost. You would be ever ready to step up in style and no longer feel anxious about selecting what to wear.

Hey fashion lovers! I hope you are all well and staying safe wherever you are. Today’s style is going to take us down a memory lane of some sort. I have been a huge fan of Brandy Norwood for decades now. Her voice is simply amazing and many of her tracks are some of my favourites. I can sing along to most of them, that’s how much I love her songs, and I am sure it is the same for many. Her duo with Monica on The Boy is Mine will always be a hit.

When it comes to Brandy Norwood’s personal style, I have been a fan of her fashion sense since her early days. Norwood’s personal style is effortlessly chic and feminine. I love how she looks good in almost everything and how she goes for pieces and accessories that make her shine brighter.

Brandy Norwood’s Instagram page is filled with her styling amazing pieces. It is so amazing to see she has not changed much over the years. She still looks like “Moesha” without the braids. I miss the braids on her. They were like her signature look. As a young teenage girl, I always wanted my braids to look as good as Brandy’s.

I am loving the outfit Norwood has on here. The colour works great for her skin tone and the dress shows off her stunning legs. She accessorised it beautifully with stylish sandals. I think she looks amazing in this dress and I can see myself styling this look easily.
