Since I am passionate about personal style, I decided to put together a personal style self-assessment template with tips to help you find your personal style. Subscribe to get your free personal style self-assessment!
It consists of 4 attributes that I believe are most important!
1.Personality
In a previous blog post I wrote about several style types. For instance, casual, elegant, contemporary, traditional, free-spirited, nature loving and more. Which of your personality traits match the most with the various style types? You can choose any number of styles you feel resonate with you the most or create your own. Your inner person is an extension of your outer, therefore, consider how you wish to express yourself with what you wear for any occasion in your life.
2.Features
This one has to do with your body, face, and hair. Which features do you love the most? Which elements do you want to emphasize or de-emphasize. I know so many women who have attractive body, face, hair features and they don’t accentuate them. Your style is your brand. Everyone is different, has a different journey and everyone is lovely in their own way. Be confident in who you are and be you without apology!

3.Lifestyle
What is your current lifestyle. How do you spend your time? Do you have a career, are you an entrepreneur or a stay at home mom. Any events, activities, wedding celebrations that you need to dress for or date night with your significant other that you want to look sexy or romantic for? How about vacations, in the sun, in the snow, etc. Your apparel will evidently match and interchange based upon the life you lead. It’s fun to dress for different events and look your best. It will uplift your mood every time.
4.Preferences
Generally, what do you like in terms of colors, clothing, etc. Do you like bold, neutral, soft or earth tones. Do you like to wear pants, blouses, skirts or prefer dresses more. How about footwear, do you like flats, heels, boots, shoes, and sandals. Also accessories, do you like to wear hats, scarves, and jewelry. Finally, your face, any make-up, your hair long, short, what form do you prefer. Your preferences will assist you in deciding your ideal outfits and how you choose to present yourself.
