How to Discover Your Personal Style: The Clues Are In Your Wardrobe

… before you reorganise your wardrobe, buy another piece or decide that something is missing … there’s a quieter step worth taking — one that lets your wardrobe reveal more about who you are and helps you understand yourself better.

We don’t feel disconnected from our personal style because we lack options.

We feel disconnected because our wardrobe was built for a version of ourselves that no longer quite fits.

Navigating different priorities, different expectations, a different season … we may have quietly changed.

This exercise isn’t just about your clothes — it’s about what they reveal and how you feel.

We’re often encouraged to start with the wardrobe — edit this, replace that, invest here but discovering your personal style doesn’t begin there … it begins with noticing.

Notice what you reach for on repeat … especially on the days you don’t want to think — the pieces you grab when you’re busy, tired or simply being yourself. They show you where you feel grounded, safe and most like you — even if you’ve dismissed them as “too simple” or “boring”.

Then notice what you’re drawn to but not wearing — the colours, shapes, details you admire, save or keep coming back to — yet somehow never choose for yourself. Attraction usually comes before confidence. Often … what we’re drawn to reflects who we’re becoming.

And finally, consider how you want to feel in your clothes — not how you want to look — but how you want to feel — Polished. Modern. Powerful. If your wardrobe isn’t giving you that feeling … it’s not because you’ve failed at style. It’s because your clothes were built to support a different version of you.

This is why shopping your wardrobe can feel frustrating when it’s done too soon.

Without understanding yourself first … you’re just rearranging pieces without meaning.

But when you slow down and pay attention — to your habits, your cravings and the emotional gap you’re trying to fill — your wardrobe starts to speak more clearly.

Personal style isn’t about reinventing yourself. It’s about understanding who you are and allowing that to be reflected back to you.

That’s where working with me can help you connect with your wardrobe and with yourself … so getting dressed feels authentic, easy and confidently yours.
