THE ICON MUSE
Following fashion trends can be a fun game, but if it comes at the expense of our own values, tastes, lifestyle, and budget, it may not be the right thing to do. How do we find a balance and truly become who we are? Here are some tips and our Icon Muse guide to finding the right balance.
Today, following trends is not a complicated task. All you have to do is scroll through the profiles of fashion bloggers on Instagram or Pinterest and buy the same or similar pieces. Generally, everything is suggested or sponsored in posts or stories. Taking inspiration from models, fashion designers, and celebrities allows us to create a trendy and current personal style.
But is it really ours?
What if we listened to ourselves a little more?
When we look at ourselves in the mirror of a department store or a trendy clothing boutique and we think, “I don’t recognize myself…”.
It’s a clear indication that there is an issue with our personal style identity.
Asking the real questions such as:
What are my tastes and preferences when it comes to clothing?
Which clothing pieces flatter me?
What image do I want to project?
What is the context in which I will wear these clothes (work, museum or restaurant outings, vacations…)?
It is crucial to remember that your clothing style should be adapted to your body shape, age, and daily activities.
Feeling good, feeling comfortable in your clothes, and above all, feeling like yourself is important.
After reading these few tips, here is our step-by-step Icon Muse Guide to ensure that you leave your home with a smile and a great sense of confidence:
1. Start by doing research: Spend time searching for style ideas and looks that resonate with you. You can use platforms like Pinterest, Instagram, fashion blogs, or magazines to find inspiration.
Don’t feel obligated to follow every trend if they don’t suit your personality.
Your style should be a reflection of who you are and what makes you comfortable and confident.
Embrace the elements of fashion that resonate with you and incorporate them into your wardrobe in a way that feels authentic.
When it comes to fashion guides for finding your style, you can find various resources online, including fashion blogs, books, and YouTube videos. These sources offer valuable insights, tips, and inspiration to help you navigate the world of fashion and discover your personal style.
Additionally, if you’re looking for personalized guidance and expertise, you can consider seeking assistance from a stylist. Stylists are trained professionals who can provide tailored advice and assistance in curating a wardrobe that suits your individual needs, preferences, and lifestyle. They can help you identify your style goals, select clothing items that flatter your body type, and provide guidance on creating cohesive and stylish outfits.

Finding one’s own personal style is a process that can take time, patience, and experimentation.
It’s important to remember that each person is unique, and their style should reflect their personality, tastes, and lifestyle.
However, by following some guidelines and drawing inspiration from current trends, it is possible to create a style that is both comfortable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing.
It’s also important not to be afraid to try new things and step out of your comfort zone, as that’s often where the most interesting discoveries lie. Ultimately, finding your style is a personal and rewarding journey that can lead to a better understanding of yourself and increased self-confidence.
