What is a stylish dress like? We’ve put together the best tips on how to find your own style and feel stylish in every situation in your life.

  1. Recognize your own style and lifestyle. As Coco Chanel once put it in words, fashion is changeable, style and elegance permanent in nature. Your own style is clearer if you don’t follow every fashion fad. Let’s even think about the distinctive black-speaking style of Marimekko’s iconic director, Kirsti Paakkanen. To identify your own style, think about what kind of clothes you enjoy and feel stylish in, and list the words that come to mind. You can also consider whose celebrity style you admire and why. Or look for pictures in magazines or pinterest that appeal to you.But just as important as it is to reflect on your own style idols, it is also important to reflect on the activities of your own life, that is, your LIFESTYLE. Don’t want to start imitating something of a celebrity with your dress if your lifestyle doesn’t match at all. Be honest to yourself. The mother-in-law living in Vantaa hardly needs the same amount of cocktail dresses and Manolo Blahnik’s shoes as Carrie Bradshaw in the Single Life series. What she really admires in Carrie’s style is perhaps the bold dress, femininity, and color according to her mood.
  2. Identify your own body type. Are you body type A, Y, O, H or X? Perfect style starts with identifying your body type. Instead of thinking about what things in your body should change or cover, treat yourself and your body with approval. Ask your guy for help and determine your body type with these clear instructions .
  3. Highlight your best sides with the right kind of clothes. The saying “Emphasize what you can’t cover” holds true for dress. And why should we worry or cover up? I prefer to focus on the positive. Stylish dress is not tied to clothing size. With beautiful clothes to suit your body type, anyone can highlight exactly their own best aspects.
  4. Organize your wardrobe so that you will find a suitable cover for all the situations in your life. Now you know what style you admire, what kind of dress suits your own life situation, what kind of body type you have and what kind of clothes you emphasize the best aspects of your body. Even if all these things are clear, many still struggle with clothing crises. There seems to be nothing to wear even if the wardrobe is bursting with clothes. Maybe you can’t see the forest from the trees? If you spend a lot of time thinking about outfits, should you completely rearrange your clothing storage with a method that no longer gets you a closet mess? Too good to be true?
  5. Find your own colors and use them boldly.  Why do Finns wear black? What is the basis for the claim about the slimming effect of black? Black is only suitable for 12% of Finns (for use close to the face), only for those whose result in color analysis is winter. You will create a much fresher and more stylish look when you use colors that emphasize the tone of your eyes, hair and skin, especially on the upper part of the body.
