5 steps to pick perfect style for your personality

Wandering around in a big flashy mall with more clothing stores than you can visit in a month, and still haven’t been able to find a dress that looks perfect on you, Sounds familiar..?

Don’t you ever wish that you could just find that one and only dress for you in a single visit to your favorite clothing store?

We understand the struggle and the energy you often waste for looking something with a passion for your own style and fashion sense. We respect that more than you think and to that respect, we are here with a solution.

Now consider this,

Whenever you fail to find the right pick for you, you usually come up with this conclusion that the store doesn’t have what you want. It’s a fair conclusion after all. But have you ever considered that maybe it’s you who wasn’t looking at the right place in the first place? Have you ever thought that sometimes you don’t have the exact idea of what you are looking for and you keep looking anyway?

What if I tell you that by following these five steps, all in your head, you can actually make perfect fashion choice, that too in a matter of minutes. Yes, it’s possible. These are not some made-up steps to grab your attention. We conducted a little research of our own to bring the best results to you. By going through the research and surveys performed over the last 10 years on consumer behavior patterns in the Indian fashion industry, we have been able to collect plenty of knowledge that we wholeheartedly wish to share with you..

So let’s get straight to the knowledge,

here are the five steps you must follow before heading out to buy a new dress for yourself or your acquaintance.

1. Select the occasion, company and comfort

Now, you don’t just wear anything without considering the place and company you’re keeping, do you?

So, first thing first, You need to decide on what occasion you are going to buy a dress. We, know, it becomes difficult to choose when the occasion is some large public event. Don’t you worry, we’ll get you through this. So, once you know when and where you’ll be wearing that dress, now you must consider the people you’ll be surrounded with during that event.

Even if it’ is a simple meetup with friends or family, it is necessary to measure the dressing expectations of that group. Are they your respected elders, senior colleagues or are they just your friends and family? Just knowing that and keeping it in mind is enough for now. Once you’re done with all that, now just consider the season and level of comfort you need to enjoy the gathering. Remember that season and outside temperature plays a big role in preparing your ‘Pre-fashion’ mindset. Also, your everyday lifestyle helps you a lot in understanding what kind of dressing ideas will you be satisfied with.

2. Consider the form and personality

Now, for the most important part, you need to look at your personality and shape from a stranger’s perspective. I’d prefer if you don’t ask others about your personality. Everyone has a different image of us based on how we behave with them, so it won’t really help. Now, have you ever heard someone saying “everything looks good on you” to some sturdy guy or a beautiful girl?

I’m sure you have, so you need to think, what category of clothing, everything will look good on you? Ask yourself honestly and you shall receive an answer. For example, I know those fancy suits and too many decorative wearables do not go with my personality. So, make a choice by elimination. Also, do not forget to remind yourself of a particular dress that you once owned and felt really good and comfortable in it. It will really help you refine your choice further.

3. Decide on brand preference and price range you wish to explore

Once you have set your mind about what kind of dress you would like to have, now is the time to consider some more practical aspects like your price range. I mean, you must have a vague idea of how much are you willing to expand on your clothes in a single purchase. I understand most people don’t like to indulge themselves in such ‘silly’ matters, well, you are not most people, are you?

Selecting a flexible price range will spare you of the worries of over-expenses and you’ll be able to focus on your current choice at hand. With that, now you can also pick your favorite brand from where you are going to make your first picks. Believe me, you’ll be thanking me after coming out of the store because of the money you may have saved by fixing your price range considering your other expenses.

4. Colour, fabric and design elimination

This is comparatively easier than previous steps. Most of us already have our hearts set on some specific shades of color. I personally love dark blue, light grey and reddish-brown for my every fashion pick. Some people show obsessive appeal for cotton fabric and some people seem quite fond of stand collar in shirts and similar clothing.

I hope you are getting my point here. It won’t be tough to make a choice at this point because you are already have prepared strong grounds for these selection segments. Nonetheless, color, fabric and design pattern requires your close attention and creativity. According to my personal experience, people are attracted to design and color combinations that they haven’t imagined and expected to be available at ease. So, keep an open mind and don’t afraid to choose something completely new and creative.

5. Take inspiration from respect and excitement, you are ready to go..

Lastly, it won’t be wrong to say that we all get our clothing inspiration from people we respect and look up to. I closely follow my cousin’s brother’s choices as he always succeeds in grabbing my attention with his ‘not so professional’ appearance. I’ve seen people trying to copy Elon Musk and many Indian professionals following Sir Ratan Tata’s ensemble. It’s our natural tendency and there’s nothing silly or embarrassing about it. In-fact taking inspiration from our idols and combining it with our own style can really bring the best results.

I personally won’t recommend you to follow any television celebrity or movie stars since usually, they don’t have their own identity and they only wear what their fashion designers choose for them. Regardless, its your choice whom to follow and where to look for fashion inspirations and ideas.

Once you are done with all these steps and have discussed your ideas with your friends and family, you are ready to enter the store and pick the best style there is in a matter of minutes.

It’s a big feat if you ask me. Once you are an expert in using these five steps and come up with a perfect fashion ensemble really fast, you can call yourself a fashion expert. But before that, you might want to understand what fashion is all about… worry not,
