how to find your clothing style

Analyze a trier son dressing
Our basic advice? Before your shopping trip or private fashion presentation, start by paying attention to what you already have in your closet. Your style and needs evolve over time, and you’ll inevitably have to sort through your collection. Now’s the time!
Keep all the pieces you like and feel good in, especially the basics. On the other hand, set aside all the clothes and accessories that are no longer fashionable or that no longer fit you. Be ruthless with cuts, styles, and has-been materials if you don’t want to “memorize” them… You can easily find a combination that will give them a second life!
Once you’ve finished sorting, analyze all the pieces you’re keeping: number of pants/jeans vs. dresses and skirts, shapes of your tops, dominant colors, chic, romantic, casual or rock style… and note which outfits you think you’re missing. This is a good starting point for defining your style.
Know your color palette
To give you a healthy glow and draw attention to your strengths, we recommend finding your color profile matches. That is, studying the color palette that best suits you based on your basic harmony: skin tone, eyes, and hair. Every woman has her own profile!
To do this, we advise you to read our article dedicated to colorimetry .
Accept your body shape and enhance it
Every woman has a dominant body shape, which she will generally keep throughout her life, whether she gains a little weight or loses it.
It’s best to embrace it fully because it’s almost impossible to change your basic body shape. For example, if you’re H-shaped, you won’t be able to smooth out your shoulders or define your waist, which depend on your bone structure and frame. However, you can, through your clothing style, highlight your assets and visually minimize any imperfections…
We have written an article to help you determine your body type and dress accordingly .
Every woman has strengths to highlight! Remember that at Elora, you can, at no extra cost, have a personal stylist guide you through your shopping journey, who will help you dress well, according to the style that suits you.
Every body shape has the potential to be beautiful, if you know how to enhance it. It’s therefore important to identify your own body shape and accept it. For most women, it’s particularly important to enhance your hips .
