Let’s be real–we all know it’s hard to define your personal style. From chic to trendy to casual to boho, there’s not a one-size-fits-all approach to your weekly ‘fits! The key is simply to know what looks good on you and build out from there.
I like to use personal styling services like Wantable so that I always have options and expert advice on how to put looks together. Here are some fashion tips I’ve learned (and how Wantable helps me make them happen):
1). Lean in to what works for your body when it comes to your basics
We’re all well-acquainted with seeing our body shapes as fruit, but it’s true what they say– knowing your body shape and what compliments it is key to building your wardrobe. You want to have plenty of staple pieces that you can mix & match to the max, but that looks different for every body. For example, not everyone can pull off a pencil skirt, but if it hugs you just right, you should have one in every color!
Building a whole wardrobe can get expensive, but with a subscription like Wantable, you can get it done without breaking the bank. If you keep at least 5 of the 7 items that come in your box, you save 20%. Shipping & returns are always free. That’s a deal I’m not about to pass up!
2). Set your personal style up to grow along with you
Your style is always evolving–remember what you wore in your teen years? But finding new, unique pieces that you won’t immediately shove to the back of your closet is a hard balance to strike. Luckily, the stylists at Wantable are here for you! They care, they listen, and they personalize every box to my specific needs. They’re also really dedicated to problem-solving, like helping me figure out if that outfit on Insta will actually look good on me. And they make sure you nab pieces you wouldn’t have necessarily chosen for yourself but that scream totally me, so your style flourishes to its full potential.
3). Marie Kondo your closet
This seems simple, right? But it’s not easy! We throw that new cute item into our closets and don’t see it again for months. Organization makes it so you can easily find your faves & give them equal love.
With Wantable, you have 4 categories to shop from: style, active, sleep & body, and mens. Once I decide what I’m keeping from each box, I put it right into its new home in my closet so I know where to find it when I’m ready to show it off!
4). Balance your ‘fits
Creating a chic look means more than just choosing cute styles–the pieces have to complement one another, too. For example, if you’re wearing a tight top, go for a more relaxed fit on bottom, and vice versa. If you notice you have more of one fit than another, like a large collection of crop tops, mention what you need to your Wantable stylist. That way your next Edit will have more of what you need and you can start creating chic outfits in no time.
5). Take your time trying things on
“Try before you buy” always rings true! You want to make sure that whatever you’re adding to your closet is something that makes you look & feel good. Plus, who doesn’t want to try clothes on in the comfort of your own home? Wantable lets me have a try-on party on my own schedule! They ship everything right to your door and they give you 5 days to decide what you want to keep or return. That’s the kind of convenience I’m here for.
Your style is exactly that – yours
There’s a lot of fashion advice swimming around out there, and it’s hard to know what to follow. The main thing to keep in mind? Your style is as unique as you are, so your clothes should simply make you feel great! Wantable is my favorite way to build my personal style, on my terms, without breaking the bank.
