Let’s discuss how personal style can boost your confidence in every aspect of life.
Since I was little, I’ve been picky about what I wear. My style has changed a lot over the years. I moved on from those colorful animal-print leotards to jeans!
I’ve been thinking about how much our style affects us daily. How we dress plays a big role in whether we’re into sports betting or running errands. Wearing the right clothes can boost your confidence, and here’s how.
How Personal Style Can Help Us Feel More Confident?
At its core, personal style reflects one’s impression of oneself. Work and party clothes send unspoken messages. They show how we see ourselves and how others see us.
For example,
- Wearing dull colors and loose clothes shows you want to blend in.
- Bright colors and a straight posture signal a confident person who can be approached.
For your style to improve confidence levels, you need to, first and foremost, take it seriously.
Why Does Personal Style Matter?
We all know that first impressions affect how people feel about us. For instance, I often notice people giving me judgmental looks.
How to Discover Your Style?
If someone asked me my style, I’m unsure I could give a straight answer. My style depends so much on my mood, the weather, and how tired I am. I’m sure you’ve experienced something similar.
But to ensure that style improves confidence, we must have some image of it. If you are not quite sure where to start with it, here are a couple of steps to help you kickstart the discoveries:
Know Your Body Type
First, know which colors and shapes suit your figure. They are important.
Do you have broader shoulders or a more pear-shaped figure? Understanding your body shape makes picking the perfect clothes much simpler.
Make sure you have all these measurements available, especially when shopping online:
- around the bust
- around the waist
- around the hips
- Also, knowing your arm and leg lengths helps to ensure that style boosts confidence.
Find Your Signature Pieces
This one’s simple when you consider it:
What is your favorite?
- piece of clothing
- color
- a shape in your closet?
What items do you find yourself reaching for again and again? Those are your signature pieces! So, build your style around that. It will boost your confidence.
For example, my ultimate signature piece is a Bardot neckline. I’m all in if it shows off my collarbones, whether a top or a dress.
Find the Best Colors for You
Bright colors are great because they suit everyone. Yet, there are a few colors to be mindful of:
For example, lighter tones should be avoided if you have a pale complexion. Otherwise, you will drown in it. You can determine the most flattering shades for your skin tone with a quick color analysis. Bright colors are great for boosting moods. They also improve confidence through style.
Final Thoughts
Some people think style isn’t that important. More urgent matters in our lives need our energy to be put into. And they’re right; stressing about one’s style isn’t at the top of life’s priority list.
Yet, personal style affects how we view ourselves and others. When approached from the correct angle, the style also improves confidence.
