How many times have you opened your wardrobe and sighed? That dress doesn't fit well any more. That colour just doesn't suit. And that fabric is so unflattering! If you're a bit lost when it comes to how you dress, you're not alone. According to a study, on average we don't wear around 50% of our wardrobe. When it comes to rediscovering your style, London-based stylist and personal shopper Ilvina Asliamova (@ilvina_as on Instagram), has some quick hacks.
How do I find my personal style?
"Your personal style is an ongoing journey of self-expression," Ilvina explains. "By combining self-awareness, experimentation, and a touch of guidance via a personal shopper, you're well on your way to discovering a style that looks fantastic and reflects your individuality."
Accepting that you need to experiment is the first hurdle. "Be open to trying different styles, cuts and silhouettes. A style that feels foreign at first might surprise you with how well it suits you. Step outside your comfort zone!"
