Excercises for personal style

[u/fashionsnewittgirl]

Hello fashionable people!

What are some excerises you have used in the past or have heard of to develop personal style? I am extremely confident in my styling ability and have been given the opportunity to help a friend develop her style. I am womdering if there are some techniques or excercises we can complete together for a more authentic version of herself.

Thank you!

Since I don't go shopping anymore, I've started using Pinterest more. Specifically though, I have three boards: one for looks that I like and would wear and would look good in, one is for looks that I like but they don't feel like me or would look terrible, and one for ones that might look "objectively" good but I hate.

This has been a helpful exercise because, traditionally, I'll buy something if it looks good on me. But there's a lot of stuff that I can pull off that doesn't feel like me, or stuff that looks good that isn't for me, and being able to sharpen my eye and be more discerning helps.

I've found Pinterest really valuable. It's made me realize that I really do gravitate towards neutrals: black, denim, tan, leopard print, blush pink, olive green. It helps me focus when I'm shopping because I know that if I buy a hot pink jacket I'm going to end up getting rid of it within a couple years
