KNOW YOUR STYLE PERSONALITY:
Start by understating your styling personality and what image you would like to portray. Your clothes must make you feel your best version. So, to express yourself with your clothes, think about what you want to convey, it can be modern, romantic, classic or traditional.
If you want to portray a modern look, try something minimalistic. For an effortless look; you can mix- and- match structured tailoring with a soft jumper. You can also dress from head to toe in one color and choose wide-leg high-waisted trousers with block heels to make your legs look extra long. We would always say that fashion is a tool, and it is both on the observer and the wearer. It is about creating a first impression that reflects your style and self.
