If you are trying to find your fashion style, well, high chance you know that feeling when you’re staring at a closet FULL of clothes but somehow have “nothing to wear”?!
Same here sis…
I swear we’re all drowning in trends but still feel lost half the time.
The truth is, finding your personal style isn’t about chasing every TikTok trend – it’s about building a wardrobe that actually feels like YOU.
And trust me, it’s so worth figuring out!
Forget all that vague “just be yourself” advice.
Let me break down the ACTUAL steps to find your aesthetic.
Make sure you read through and get these 8 steps!
Phase 1: The Deep Dive (Look Inward)
Before you open a shopping app, you need to open a notebook (or a Notes app).
1. Play the “5 Adjectives” Game.
Grab a journal and answer this: If you could describe your ideal style in just five words, what would they be? Think beyond “cute” or “pretty.” Get specific.
- Are you Minimalist, Architectural, Effortless, Neutral, and Tailored?
- Or are you Romantic, Vintage, Whimsical, Soft, and Detailed?
- Maybe you’re Edgy, Rebellious, Graphic, Comfortable, and Modern?
These words will become your style compass, guiding every future purchase.

Use nail polish clear coat on fraying thread ends to stop further unraveling until you can properly repair the item!
Phrase 2: Weed out the closet!!
I know this is not the most exciting tips but well ladies, this is non-negotiable!
Set aside an hour, pull everything out of your closet, and try it on. Create three piles:
- Love & Wear: These are your holy grail items. They fit perfectly, make you feel confident, and you wear them all the time.
- Ask yourself: What do these pieces have in common? (e.g., “All my favorite items are high-waisted,” or “I always feel best in warm, earthy tones.”)
- The “Meh” Pile: It fits okay, it’s fine, but it doesn’t spark joy. This is your “maybe” pile.
- Donate/Sell: It doesn’t fit, it’s damaged, or you haven’t worn it in over a year. Let it go. This creates mental and physical space for clothes you’ll truly love!
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #2:
Prevent button-down shirts from gapping between buttons by using double-sided fashion tape <3
Phrase 3: Create a Themed Pinterest Board for inspo
Don’t just pin every pretty outfit you see. Create a board with a specific title based on your 5 adjectives, like “Modern Minimalist Wardrobe” or “Cozy Cottagecore Aesthetic.”
Pin INTENTIONALLY <3!
After pinning maybe 50 pins (Trust me, it’s really easy to have 50), step back and look for patterns.
Do you see a recurring color palette?
A favorite silhouette (like midi skirts and oversized blazers)? A specific footwear style?
This is your style blueprint.

Phrase 4: Find Your Style Icons (Real & Fictional).
Who do you admire style-wise?
It doesn’t have to be a celebrity.
It could be a friend, an influencer with a similar body type, or even a fictional character (hello, Diane Keaton in Something’s Gotta Give or the effortlessly cool style on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds <3).
Analyze their outfits.
What makes their style work?
Is it their use of accessories, their fit, their bold use of color?
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #4:Use rolled-up magazine pages to maintain boot shape when storing – truly work wonders imo lol
If you are reading this blog post till now, there’s one thing for sure…
You have good taste! <3 If you approve of some of these looks, please kindly pin or share some of these outfits so many tasteful fashion babes can come across this outfit inspo, thanks pretty! ❤️
And…it would truly mean the world to me if you stay until the very end. ❤️
Phrase 5: The Building Blocks (Identify the combo!)
This is where it all comes together.
Most people with great style have a “uniform”—a go-to formula they can build endless variations on.
- Is it Jeans + a Great Top + Statement Boots?
- Or Trouser + Simple Top + Loafers?
- Or Midi Dress + Leather Jacket + Sneakers?
Your uniform takes the guesswork out of getting dressed and ensures you always feel like yourself.
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #5:
Stretch tight shoes by wearing them with thick socks and blowing them with a hairdryer!
Phrase 6: Master the Art of the “Style Upgrade.”
You don’t need to throw everything out and start from scratch.
Look at your “Love” pile and your “Meh” pile.
How can you elevate the “Meh” items?
- Try tucking a boring blouse into high-waisted, wide-leg trousers.
- Add a belt to a shapeless dress to define your waist.
- Layer a turtleneck under a sleeveless dress.
- Swap basic sneakers for a pair with an interesting color or texture.
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #6:
Quick fix – Brighten yellowed white clothing by soaking in a solution of lemon juice and hot water!
❤️For my baddies who wanna spoil themselves: ❤️
It’s almost Christmas (in two months!!)…for the baddies who wanna spoil themselves but don’t wanna break the bank… check out the bags babies below❤️
From my backend data, almost every 3 days someone from LTK and my email list will buy these two bags lol (Different sizes - some prefer mini some prefer the normal).
It's always so fun see from data to know what you girls prefer!
Phrase 7: Implement the “One Statement Piece” Rule.
When you’re shopping or getting dressed, this rule is a game-changer.
If your outfit is built on basics (a simple tee and jeans), let one item do the talking. This could be:
- A fantastic pair of earrings
- A brightly colored bag
- Shoes with an interesting design
- A jacket with a unique texture or print
This keeps your look intentional and prevents it from feeling too “safe” or overly busy.
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #7:
Whenever I feel bloated, I’ll always use a rubber band to loop through a button hole and around the button for a temporary fix to pants that are too tight!
Phrase 8: Shop with Intention
Before you buy anything, ask yourself these three questions:
- Does it align with my 5 adjectives? (If it’s “edgy” and you’re “romantic,” put it down.)
- Does it fit me perfectly now? (Not the body you hope to have.)
- Can I style it with at least three things I already own? This ensures it will integrate into your wardrobe seamlessly.
❤️ Girl’s fashion hack#8: Keep Jewelry Organized While Traveling hackThread necklaces through drinking straws to prevent tangling – simply clasp the necklace and thread the chain through a straw.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
So yea fashion girles, these are the 8 steps if you are wondering how to find your own style & aesthetic!
Remember: Your Style is a Journey, Not a Destination.
Your life changes, and so will your style.
The goal isn’t to find one aesthetic and stick to it rigidly forever.
It’s to build a deep understanding of what makes you feel confident and expressive. Give yourself permission to experiment, to make “mistakes,” and to evolve.
