Not everyone has a personal style as recognisable as Iris Apfel’s but everyone does have their own unique style. Some just haven’t discovered it yet.

Do you know what your style is and if you do, does your wardrobe reflect it?

Yes, No, Maybe

Have you ever tried on a garment that took your eye while shopping and once on thought OMG “I love it…it’s sooo me!”

If you have you’ve experienced the rapture of finding an item that is in perfect sync with your unique personal style expression (PSE). For some, this perfect find will be nothing more than a favourite item, worn often because it makes them feel so good. A lucky buy if you will.

For others it’s a find resulting from knowing what their personal style is; not just the label Classic, Dramatic, Natural etc, but from having a real understanding of what garment and accessory elements make up an item that truly expresses their authentic self.

If you have not found your style yet this feature is for you.

Personal style expression is an important aspect of style; it’s the element that makes you unique and if truly you, it makes your heart sing. 

In a Marie Clare feature Psychiatrist, Dr. Samantha Boardman was quoted as saying “When you wear something that makes you feel great, the effects may be subtle — the way you tilt your head, your facial expressions — but they matter.”…“The right outfit can help you feel more confident when you need it most — it can serve as both armour and inspiration.”

Your personal style while appearing to be external is actually deeply internal. It reveals who you are in a way that is entirely unique to you while also lifting you up to be the best versions of yourself

To put it simply, your personal style matters.

Of course, it’s not the make or break, factor of style but rather an important element that when united with figure flattering, age and lifestyle appropriate styles combine to create your unique style blueprint.  Leave any one of these elements out and you can find your style satisfaction slipping.

Your personal style expression is conveyed through the garments and accessories you choose to wear and the way you wear them. 

An important point to also add is that your personal style is ever evolving, time and life experiences can cause us to express ourselves differently. For example, I’ve worked with women who were prominently feminine who after experiencing a prolonged traumatic event such as cancer or a nasty divorce have found their style to have evolved into Natural or Classic as their dominant as a result of having to get tougher to have survived the experience. For others, the change may come because they have become more confident or liberated over time. 

I work with 7 main style expression types of which almost everyone falls into a mix between two types with one being dominant and these pairing result in 49 possible classifications. In fact, even a third type can be present. 

Main Types: Classic, Elegant, Natural, Dramatic, Feminine, Sexy and Creative

 You will find variations to all the types and classifications depending on the person’s location, culture, and adaption to each part of their lifestyle. For example, a woman who had Natural as their dominant type and classic as her secondary may find herself increasing the classic influence to be taken more seriously at work.

 CLASSIC

Classic women like nothing better than timeless looks, fine beautiful fabrics and simple, tailored cuts in clothing. They enjoy a closet filled with neutral colours, classic cuts, and functional styles. They tend to keep clothing for long periods of time and replace worn out items with a similar replacement.

The classic woman is always appropriately dressed and carries the image of someone who is dependable and practical.
