Telling Fashion

Fashion is a statement of who you are and it’s always important to express your individuality through your clothes. A unique style that reflects your personality can help you feel confidant in who you are. Here are a few tips on how to match your personality to your outfits.

The Dramatic and Vibrant Gal
If you are outgoing and flashy, look for clothing with interesting designs or unusual patterns. Spring fashion calls for bright and lively colours so don’t hesitate to wear vivid shades. Shoes and handbags that clash with the rest of the outfit really stand out and show that you are daring and assertive. You can make heads turn by finding garments cut in bold styles such as puffed shoulders, big sleeves or a high neck.

The Practical, No Nonsense Type
If you like a more modest look that shows off your classy side, look for clothing in pastel or deep tones and simple cuts. Solid colours give a graceful yet urban look, and you can pair this with elegant jewellery such as pearls. Go for a clean and fresh appearance this spring by using neutral tones for make-up and keeping your hairstyles unadorned.

The Athletic and Sporty Girl
If you’re looking to show your casual and comfortable style find looser fitting clothes like hoodies, sweatpants or yoga wear (but please avoid the matching jumpsuit!). Tie your hair back or use a headband to complete the look. These are outfits you can wear almost anywhere and they show that you are laid back and relaxed. Perfect for the spring season!

The Artsy, Vintage Soul
If you love to mix up your everyday fashion try shopping in consignment stores or small boutiques to find unique pieces of clothing. Go for the big and distinctive jewellery and wear this with a plain, solid coloured shirt and a pair of your favourite skinny jeans. This is a great unconventional outfit and will be ideal for the upcoming fun-filled spring season.

Some of the best personal styles I’ve encountered are not specific to just one of these areas or looks, but are a mix of two or more. Don’t be afraid to stand out from the crowd and have a completely original fashion style!
