"True style isn't about chasing trends, experts say. Instead, it is about dressing in a way that brings out your true self and the version of you that feels most honest, most alive, says Stephanie Yeboah, an author and content creator."
"There are two types of personal style, argues Rachel Tashjian, senior style reporter for CNN. The first is finding out what silhouettes, fabrics and colors look good on you and feel right for your lifestyle. The other type is more expansive, high-minded and artistic—based on the idea that your experiences, interests, hobbies and aspirations can all come together in this creative and even mystical way."
"Like unwelcome nose hairs, new microtrends seem to sprout from the depths of social media every other week. In some ways, their pervasiveness has made style seem more accessible than ever. They reduce aesthetics to mathematical equations that you can solve by buying up a bunch of fast fashion."
Personal style encompasses two distinct approaches. The first is a traditional, rule-based method focusing on flattering silhouettes, fabrics, and colors suited to your body type and lifestyle. The second is a more expansive, artistic interpretation where experiences, interests, hobbies, and aspirations merge into a creative expression. Rather than pursuing constantly evolving microtrends that promote fast fashion consumption and environmental waste, genuine style emerges from dressing authentically. Experts emphasize that true personal style brings out your most honest and alive self, transcending mathematical aesthetic equations promoted by social media. This approach prioritizes individual authenticity over trend-chasing and mass-produced clothing that quickly becomes obsolete.
