Secret # 2 : Know your body type

Step two to figuring out your signature style is to know what body type you have. In truth, this is one of the key foundations to looking and feeling good in general. The most stylish women know how to dress for what suits their body type. After all, we are meant to wear the clothes, the clothes don’t wear us. So, look at yourself in the mirror and pinpoint the features you want to highlight, and which you’d like to camouflage a little. Another great trick for figuring out your signature style and your body type, is to grab some of your favourite clothes, the ones that make you feel really good about yourself, and some of your less favourite outfits, and try to figure out which elements you love and which you hate. That way you’ll know when shopping for your signature look which styles/elements/cuts or other details to avoid and which ones to always reach for!

Secret # 3 : Get creative to find your signature

If you feel like you’re starting from scratch when determining a signature look, or you simply want to reinvent your existing look, go out and look for some fashion inspo! Check out the My Jewellery styling blogs, grab all of your favourite fashion mags, highlight your top looks from your favourite TV shows or movies, scour TikTok, Insta & Pinterest, look anywhere that you might feel inspired and, most importantly, look for women whose style you admire. Collect all your inspiration and if you’re feeling creative turn them into a mood board. A mood board is a great way to bring all of your ideas together and see what works and doesn’t. Try to pull together styles that really appeal to you and figure out what it is about them that you love so much, that way you’re that much closer to determining the elements you’d like to incorporate into your own signature style.

Secret # 4 : Define a colour palette

The easiest way to create a signature look? Stick to a signature colour palette. Whether you can’t live without black, are an all-over neutrals girl, or simply love all-pink everything (Hi, Elle Woods) determining the colour palette that you connect with most is a great step to defining your signature style. Start small by choosing a metal that you’ll never tire of: some women swear by gold jewellery whilst others only ever wear silver jewellery, or you might even decide to only wear pearl jewellery. The same can be said for pants colours (bleached, navy, black etc) or shoes. Don’t let yourself be limited by a colour palette either though. Just because you define your colour palette with black items doesn’t mean you can’t include a pop of neon every now and then. The point of a signature look is that it defines your personal brand and style after all.
