Your Signature Style

Do you have your own signature style? While many of us like to "dress to impress" and stay on top of current fashion trends, having your own unique look will set you apart. You'll make a lasting impression. But depending on what kind of impression you want to make, it will take some thought and creativity to decide on your look.

The most important thing is to think about how you already dress. What do you feel most comfortable in? Do you prefer to dress conservatively? Do you love colorful or flamboyant styles? Pick the style that you are most drawn to and use that as the foundation for your signature style.

A signature style could be as complicated as the kind of clothes you wear, or as simple as carrying a pink handbag. Developing your signature style with accessories is perhaps easiest. Maybe you could become known as the lady who always wears a hat, or the girl who always wears unusual pendants.

Maybe you prefer to express yourself with color? Maybe you'd like to wear a bit of red every day, whether it's a scarf, a jacket, or a purse. Maybe you always wear bright jewel tones or stick to the rich, earthy colors.

Be careful that you don't dress the same exact way all the time, though: Your signature style should be a focal point. Coordinate your look around it, but don't get so locked into it that you can't afford to rotate your wardrobe or accessories.

Most importantly, choose a signature style that really feels comfortable and natural. It should feel like you!
