Do you know what your fashion style is? It can be incredibly hard to know where you fall on the scale, especially if you are not familiar with fashion trends.
It can be intimidating to explore new fashion styles outside your comfort zone. But when you are bored with your look, it can be a good idea to take a look at some new and exciting styles.
It is for this reason that we have written this article. We are going to go over several types of fashion styles and which ones might define you or help you explore a new and exciting wardrobe.
So, without further ado, let’s dive right in and get started!
How Do You Find Your Own Fashion Style?
You might be in that awkward phase of your life where you are just not sure how to find a style of your own. It is likely that you will start by going through a ton of fashion phases.
In fact, you may have started your experimenting when you were a teen and going through your angsty or rebellious phase.
But as an adult, this is not really something that you can do. Especially if you are working constantly and don’t get out. What we do recommend if you are trying to find your own fashion style is to take a look through this list and jot down styles that pique your interest.
With your list of potential styles, head over to your wardrobe and take a look at what you have. Do you need to buy new clothes? How much new stuff do you need? If you do not have anything that fits into a particular style, ask yourself why that is.
If you were intimidated by an article of clothing, you may want to hold off buying it and instead borrow a garment from someone you know and trust.
Alternatively, you could get your risqué garment at a thrift store for a lower price. Now you need to try your new style. If you happen to like it, slowly add more articles of clothing that fit into this style.
You might work a job that requires you to wear largely office wear or uniforms. As such, you will need a section of your wardrobe to be dedicated to this style if you like it. So, take into account your daily life and what kinds of clothes you require.
You can always experiment, you just need to be reasonable and logical as well. Don’t get rid of all your power suits on a whim if you require them for work. Buy a few additional outfits that fall into your new fashion style and wear them when you can.

5. Ethnic Fashion Style
This fashion style may not be appropriate for all people. But throwing in a few ethnic pieces into a modern look can bring your style to a whole new level.
Just be careful, this style can be misconstrued as cultural appropriation. As such, we recommend only adding small pieces to a look. For example, a kimono-style coat, Mexican peasant blouse, Afghan coats, and more.
This can be a risky style, as wearing certain articles of clothing can be important in certain cultures. But throwing your own twist on a look with ethnic pieces can be a way to celebrate the culture or fashion of a country.
If it is done respectfully and tastefully, this is a fashion style that can look absolutely stunning.

My whole life, I have always been a little bigger than my friends. I was always a bit taller, wider and just bigger built. From my late teens, I would say that I was curvy. I really struggled to find clothes that fitted me, as my hips went out, but my chest didn’t really.
I created WarningCurvesAhead.com because I wanted other women to feel the sense of empowerment I have felt since changing up my wardrobe and finding out what clothes suit my body shape, skin tone and style.
I hope that you too can join me on this journey, and start making some amazing fashion choices that celebrate your beautiful body- instead of hiding it!
