The beauty about discovering your style is that it enables you to be authentically you on your terms – at any age!
When a human can express, dress and present themselves in a manner that allows them to be honest and unapologetically authentic to themselves (regardless of their age) is when true confidence and being comfortable in one’s own skin can really happen.
Yes, there are events and times when a dress code and appropriateness to an occasion need to be considered but that does not mean your personal style needs to be sacrificed, changed or disregarded.
Personally, I found when I decided to “go natural (grey)” a few years ago it was more important than ever that I stayed true to my style so I didn’t feel or look “older” or lose my style identity just because I changed my hair colour.
No matter our stage of life we must always stay true to ourselves to ensure we feel comfortable and confident with the image we present to the world. Wearing and surrounding ourselves with things that bring us joy, make us smile, enhance our natural beauty and depict our personality is something we must do no matter how many decades we have to our name.
One of our most popular services at our The VC Style Studio is our “Find My Style” session and in this article I am going to share the first steps we take a client on to help them find, evolve and embrace their personal style and unlock their “style words”.
To give you an example, my style words are: Modern, Dramatic, Natural, Luxe. So for me I must always have an element of these words in my outfit. Even my most casual outfits will always include something that resonates with me. For example, I would rather walk in my lightweight cargo pants and tank with a cap than tights or leggings and a sporty tee.
So how do you find your style words?
Well having a professional stylist to help you is beneficial, but even before we see a client we like them to consider the below.
Step1
What words describe your personality?
Step2
What styles best match your personality? For example, if you are fun and adventurous you may resonate with words like: quirky and vibrant or if you are more grounded and practical you may resonate with words like; earthy and timeless.
Step3
Find images of outfits and objects that depict your personality and style words, then collate them into a vision board so you have a handy reference whenever you stray from your true self.
Be sure to revisit and adapt your style words as you go through different stages of your life, this will ensure you look fresh, feel modern and are staying true to you.
Vibrantly yours,
