Personal Touches To Create Your Signature Style
They say style is unique, but it’s not always easy to embrace your own style when everyone else is wearing the same dress or shoe style. Fashion inspiration is all around us, from movies and TV to Instagram and TikTok, and of course, iconic fashion magazines like Vogue. But true style isn’t about following trends, it’s about adding those personal touches that reflect who you are and make you feel good.
Discover some of the style touches that will help you create your personal look.

A capsule wardrobe
One of the best ways to create your personal style is to build a capsule wardrobe. Instead of focusing on short-term trends, a capsule wardrobe will help you narrow down your clothing to help you put outfits together based on a mix of great basics and some investment pieces. Choose basics that are made from high-quality materials, designed to last and consider getting them tailored to fit your body perfectly. Your investment pieces will include items like outerwear, footwear and accessories (bags, belts, hats, etc.) that will add interest to each look.
Creating a capsule wardrobe gives you an excellent excuse to go through your closet and have a good clearout. It will help you get rid of the clothing you no longer want or need, leaving you with the pieces you really love. When you wear clothing you feel happy and comfortable in, you’ll feel much more confident in the way you style yourself.
A signature scent
Having a signature scent is a great way to personalize your style. It’s something that will become personal to you, and something that will be recognizable to those around you too. Explore scents you really enjoy and have an impact on your mood – you’ll feel uplifted each time you wear your fragrance. If you can’t find anything off the shelf, why not have a go at making your own perfume? That way you’ll have something that’s truly unique to you!
Jewelry
Your jewelry choices can also help make your style more unique, especially if you choose pieces you can wear over and over again. Kendra Scott necklaces are an excellent choice to help you build up your jewelry collection, with pieces like initial and birthstone pendants adding those personal touches. Whether you prefer classic jewelry or something a little more eye-catching, your jewelry collection will help add those perfect finishing touches to your look.
A go-to hair or makeup look
A haircut or makeup look can help form a part of your signature style. If you think of Jennifer Aniston (hair) or Cara Delevingne (eyebrows), they’re known for having a specific feature that helps create their look. If you have strong features or like to wear a certain lipstick shade, you could lean into that to help make it into your signature look. Soon, it will become effortless, a style that people associate only with you.
Color palette
Sticking to your own color palette is another way you can help create a solid signature style. Whether you decide to stick to monochrome looks or love something a little more vibrant, staying within your preferred color palette will make your outfits more unique, and could make it much easier to dress too! You may also want to consider different palettes for different seasons, taking into account darker, earthier hues for fall and winter, and moving into brighter looks ready for the spring. This will give you a little more variety throughout the year, while helping you create seasonal outfits.
Vintage pieces
Thanks to online shopping, we’re spoiled for choice when it comes to places to buy clothes. But it can feel as though stores are all selling variations of the same things – which isn’t great when you’re trying to create a more unique look! This is where a little vintage shopping can come in handy. Shopping for vintage pieces will help you find styles that are a lot more unique, making it easy to fit them into your signature style. Head to thrift stores to discover some amazing finds, or stick with online shopping – there are many places you can buy vintage clothes online.
Finding your signature style is much easier than you think. At the end of the day, it’s all about wearing the clothes you love and that make you feel comfortable – those are the ones you’ll be drawn to again and again. Adding some additional elements like fragrance or jewelry will help make the look truly your own, for a personal style that’s uniquely you.
