What is Personal Style?

We humans have so many ways of expressing ourselves. But my favorite way that we express ourselves is through our personal style.

When I use the term Personal Style, I think it intimidates people. I think it is often mistaken to mean Stylish or Fashionable. But that is not what personal style means. 

Our non verbal way of communicating our interests, lifestyle, and, essentially, who we are through the way we dress is called Personal Style. It is a reflection of our identity, personality, values, and creativity. 

Everyone has an unconscious personal style. We shop in stores and brands that we resonate with, whether it is because of their style, comfortability, and/or values. We have colors and silhouettes that we are drawn to. We can have an aesthetic that we are committed to or several aesthetics that we gravitate to. 

Personal style is my favorite form of expression because it is the first thing people see. It is unique to each person. We may have similar personal styles with other people but it is never exactly the same! However, there are ways to be more intentional about your personal style to make you even more unique!
