10:33 the girl shown on the right actually helped me tremendously in finding my style! her idea is to divide different style principles into 8 categories, which aren't based in any aesthetic - yes, she shows images she associates with each category, but you're free to figure out what your own associations are, and what those descriptors mean to you personally. and let me tell you, since i've analysed my style using her method, i completely stopped caring about trends. i'm just so sure in what i like to wear i can't be influenced anymore lol
I haven’t figured myself out enough to work with her system but it’s really helped me see the common threads between different trends and see that I can make a similar effect with either things I already own or with secondhand clothes. It’s kind of taken away the illusion of novelty which for me has always been the appeal of trends
Oh that's so awesome! I gathered any footage I could under the term "personal style" on tiktok, but I'm glad there's a creator you know who's helped you find your style! I love hearing other peoples' success stories 🥰 I'll have to check out her videos more closely now 👀
@@jemi_yes, she's on UA-cam too and she does respect and encourages the "personal" aspect of "Personal Style". She uses trends and aesthetics more like visual inspirations (as they should be used IMHO). She created a very personable style system. The same way she helps people look at their body types differently. And help people understand their body lines and how to find clothes that will "flatter" it better. She uses many "real life" exemples too. You might like her :)
Personal style is for me an equation : Fit + (originality - individual preference) = personal style .... for me the fit is the base of any piece of clothing no matter the price/quality etc and we can have the whole planet wearing the same t-shirt and that t-shirt will "fit" differently on our body because we are all shape differently. After is how will I or we pair that t-shirt with other piece of our wardrobe, that's is (originality minus individual preference) that comes into play and that finaly gives us Personal Style. and here where i discovered that knowledge. My friend is a designer and all of my group of friends buy from her collection (and she is a very small designer so her collection is less then 10 pieces per season twice a year) and let me tell you, even if we own the same piece of clothing no one, but no one were their pieces the same way.
Absolutely agree with this statement! my body type and cropped tees are sworn enemies against my will because I would straight up flash if I wore them haha, so I always stick to tops that usually go down to my waist. I love that you and your friends are not only supporting your designer friend! ❤ It's very interesting to see how differently we can style the same item, and I find it to be incredibly fascinating. Maybe one day I'd love to make a video on how someone else would style my clothes in their personal style~
While I do like being able to try a few trends and see how they play with my personal style, I've learned throughout the years just how much dressing for yourself can impact your comfort. Even if my personal style can seem outlandish, loud, or dumb, I dress the way I do because it's what makes me comfortable. I've reached a point in my personal style where I genuinely feel comfortable with the closet I've built up all college, a point where I feel like I have very few gaps in my closet, if at all. Any new clothing I buy is either me trying on new pieces for experimentation, something similar to something I already own, or just a cool piece of clothing I want to wear. Not everything in my closet matches with each other, and that's OK. What matters is that I'm able to play with my style and find new and fun ways to dress myself to express who I am, inside and out.
100% agree with you, I think it's important to experiment and play with different options in your closet - and sometimes, you'd be surprised by how some pieces you thought would never match end up looking good together (it's happening to me pretty often these days haha)! This is why I'm actually kinda proud a lot of my outfits on this channel are the same clothes I had when I started this channel - I've learned to outfit repeat many of my key pieces and build cohesive wardrobes around them or around the themes I love and want to express in my fashion. It's been very interesting to see how much I've been tweaking my style along the way.
UA-cam algorithm recommended your channel to me and I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers. Your videos are super high quality! Consider me subscribed!🙏
It took me a lot of trial and error. But what i find helpful were Pinterest boards. Id pin stuff and then analyse why I liked it and sometimes id even buy the stuff to try out then realise what i like about it and what i dont then i cater my style to the findings which is how i ended up with a feminine yet practical style
I honestly think a lot of it has to do with wanting to stay on-trend BUT the trends cycle in and out so fast that it's hard to fit in with a trend before it goes out of style if you don't immediately buy it via fast fashion. I've also noticed a big increase in trends being directly linked to specific brands, like when ballet flats became a thing again everyone wanted the miu miu ones (even though they were like $300...). I wish there were more thrift/secondhand stores in our area that weren't overpriced - a lot of the places in my city are the same price as new clothes in places like H&M and Uniqlo, so honestly I rarely ever shop anymore. But I do prefer secondhand in most cases, because honestly the quality is waaaaaay better.
@@jemi_ yes… I have’t thought about that it is just about trends and brands that has to do with it when people don’t simply decide to buy secondhand like me. I have tracked my clothes, decided to stick to 100 items and there are 80 different brands. I have never been into brands, just the looks and the quality, certain natural fabricks etc. And if this sounds arrogant to someone, it is still a fact that if more and more people followed me on these decisions, the ecological catastrophy of clothing industry would eventually disappear, sooner than later!

Love this approach! Learning to analyze every piece you have interest in is such a fundamental step to take when learning about your style 💕
My personal style is 99% secondhand based. And now that actually everything is available secondhand, I just wonder why people still buy new stuff.
I honestly think a lot of it has to do with wanting to stay on-trend BUT the trends cycle in and out so fast that it's hard to fit in with a trend before it goes out of style if you don't immediately buy it via fast fashion. I've also noticed a big increase in trends being directly linked to specific brands, like when ballet flats became a thing again everyone wanted the miu miu ones (even though they were like $300...).
