Most fashion trends are based on current events and social movements. Similarly, when you create your own individual style, focus on the current events in your life. Enhance your own interests, habits and personality through your clothing and accessories. Review these 4 ways to stand out in the crowds.
Be a Risk Taker
Everyone notices someone who takes bold steps that few people have done before. Daredevils and adventurers get more attention than people who choose to stay in the background. Take risks in the ways that you wear and accessorize your wardrobe. Try a very short skirt or platform shoes that few other women would dare to wear in public. Try bold, neon colors in your makeup or accessories to catch anyone's attention from across the room. Focus on enhancing designs that will provoke stares and compliments.
Make Handcrafted Clothing and Accessories
Either make your own clothing and accessories by hand or hire a professional seamstress or jeweler to make it for you. But wearing handcrafted dresses, jeans, shirts and other garments is impressive to everyone else who has to buy their clothing in stores. Handcrafted jewellery consists of bracelets, necklaces, pendants and earrings that reveal your unique, personalized style.
Choose Your Outfits at Random
Mix and match your outfits randomly for a spontaneous look. With the lights off, choose your tops, pants and shoes at random without thinking. Go with that outfit, even if it looks weird or outlandish, and decide if this is the new method to create your favorite outfits. Another option is to get someone else to help choose your outfits. They may not be fashion experts, but they, like everyone, have their own personalized sense of style and may see ideas that you don't see.
Wear Form Fitting Outfits
Every person has a specific body shape, whether it's curvy, round, tall and skinny, etc. Wear form fitting clothing that enhances the natural contour of your body at different points. Finding clothing that fits your body can be a challenge, so go with what is most comfortable for you. An inconvenient or somewhat uncomfortable outfit can be great for a fantastic evening, but can't make up a whole style.
Use your personality and experiences to become your own fashion designer. Part of being fashionable is not settling for less and blending into the crowd. You need to find the most obvious ways to set your style apart from everyone else's style.
