Creating your "Signature Look" - With a Little Help
The statistics are that we wear 20% of our wardrobe regularly so
the other 80% just hang in our closets, albeit beautifully. Why
do we reach for the same items and outfits?
When we're comfortable, we're really ourselves so we seek out
certain people, choose activities and events, and put on clothes
that make us feel good. Some people know instinctively what
suits them, like my brother and his wife. My sister-in-law is
pretty, petite and fit with incredible taste in clothes. If she
has picked up something from a discount store for almost
nothing, you're sure it's a top designer. Others learn by trial
and error or we need a little help to find our "style."
Where do we turn for help? Depending upon what you're trying to
accomplish, consider these resources: friends and family
members, personal shoppers, a seamstress and a designer.
The clothes you reach for in your closet provide a clue to your
style. Compliments you receive are clues about what's becoming
to you. Whether you're trying to look your best or selecting a
specific wardrobe, get the opinions of people who know you:
family members and friends who have good taste and are
ruthlessly honest with you. Take them shopping; ask them to tell
you what they think about outfits you choose and try on ones
they suggest. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Many higher-end department and specialty stores have personal
shoppers to assist you. Visit two or three stores that have
lines of clothing you like and talk with the personal shopper to
learn her experience in fashion and retail. Ask her to help with
a few outfits so you'll know whether she's on target or if she's
picked out things you might
wear to a costume party.
A trick I learned from my brother is to use the services of a
tailor or seamstress. If an item doesn't fit just right, he
takes it to a tailor. That's quite clever for a couple of
reasons. Our clothes should mold to our bodies (no matter what
our shape), not the other way around. Plus, working with a
seamstress teaches us to enhance our best features and minimize
our "flaws." Carried one step further, a good seamstress can
design clothes specially for you.
What attracts you when you're flipping through fashion
magazines, watching people and shopping? If you find yourself
drawn to particular clothing and designer lines, these reflect
your personal style. Are they too expensive for your current
budget? Apply the Style Network's "The Look For Less"™
technique: bargain hunt for a look similar to a designer one you
like.
With a little help, you can create your "signature" look. The
benefit is feeling comfortable and confident when you move
through your life.
