Understanding Your Own Personal Style To Appear Confident And Attractive

If you have ever seen a teenage girl in her freshman year of high school, you will almost always see a girl who has no clue as to what her personal style is. She is a cookie cutter copy of what she sees in her friends, in magazines, and on television.

As a fully-grown adult, you know better. You know that copying a style just because it is in fashion can make you look ridiculous. Being 30 years old and wearing pants that sag enough to show your boxers is not attractive. A 40 year old woman with long hair and short-shorts is not good either. So, not only do you need to know YOUR style, but you need to understand that what is in fashion for a teenager doesn’t work once you are out of college.

One of the best ways to understand and identify your own style is to talk to your friends. Have them truthfully describe your personality, style, and attributes to you. What you think you are may not be the case. A true friend (or family member) will give you insight into who you really are.

Identify people that you admire or who you align yourself with in a style sense. If you see similarities between yourself and Johnny Depp, take a closer look at his style. He is relaxed, rarely dressed up, with casual hairstyles and some form of facial hair. Is that you? Or, do you align yourself with George Clooney? He is well-dressed, more open and affable than Depp, and has a sophisticated style. Is that you?

This doesn’t mean, of course, that you need to dress just like Depp or Clooney, but you can identify their style and fashion yours on that. Depp may be more casual, so take some of what he wears and stylize it with a little you. If you are aiming to be more Clooneyesque, find a nice blazer, some good looking pants, and dress it down with a t-shirt or casual shoes.

The point is, of course, that once you find your personal style, you will immediately appear more confident and attractive. Women love a man who is comfortable both in his own skin and his clothes. Confidence in your style converts to attractiveness.
