It’s important to have your personal style as regards fashion, as this would make you feel unique, confident and also comfortable — and these three key things are exactly what creating your fashion style is all about.
These 7 tips would help you create your personal brand or style of fashion.
1. ENVISION WHAT YOU WANT TO LOOK

Being fashionable doesn’t just start with what you do with your clothes; it starts with your mind. Have a picture of what you want in your mind, be creative with it and then it would be easier for you to have a fashion style.
2. SCREEN YOUR WARDROBE
After having that picture of what you want to look like fashion-wise, the next step is examining and screening your wardrobe. Screen your wardrobe and take away things you feel don’t match your new fashion sense. Anything you consider not good and comfortable is expendable because they definitely won’t fit with your new-found personal fashion style.

But the work doesn’t stop at this point; follow people, fashion icons and celebrities on social media and fashion blogs that has a fashion style similar to yours. This would help you get a broader vision of your true fashion style.
