Consider your characteristics
Can our attributes be important in developing our personal style? Your way of life, your age, your profession, your behavior, your hobbies… All these characteristics play an important role in defining your personal dress style. Here are the highlights:
Your style is defined by your lifestyle:
Are you a single woman living in a big city or the mother of three rowdy young children? When you are on leave, do you spend your days in shopping centers or are you fonder of walks in the forest or by the sea? These questions and especially their answers define your lifestyle and ultimately help you define your personal style.
Your style is defined by your age:
Everyone wants to look younger, don't they? The urge to look a few years younger is natural, and your dress style can help you achieve this. There is nothing wrong with wanting to own and wear the latest trends but make sure they are appropriate for your age. There are trends that cross the generations without ever going out of style. Take for example the case of dresses with asymmetrical necklines, worn on one shoulder.
Although of varying ages, celebrities had all adopted this trend to come under the spotlight of photographers. And all these Stars wore this fashion perfectly: If the dresses were similar in style, what differed was mostly the way they wore these dresses. Don't be worried about wearing the latest fashion if you like it. But be sure to embrace the trend in a way that suits your age, personality, and body type.
Your style is defined by your profession:
If you work in an office, the dress code is probably different from what you would have to follow if you were a saleswoman in a fashion store or a teacher. Although you have to deal with the constraints of your job, your business and its dress code, this does not prevent you from following your personal style.
Your style is defined by your behavior:
Whether you are a free electron or have a more calm temperament, your clothes reflect your attitude, your behavior. So use your wardrobe to express yourself.
Your style is defined by your hobbies:
What you do in your spare time also determines your look, your dress style. Whether you spend your shopping days, jogging along a beach or taking forest walks, your look will reflect who you are and what you like to do in your spare time.
