I found Tumblr at an early age, scrolling for <em>hours <\/em>pre-Pinterest and pre-Instagram. (Thank goodness for that \u2014 suburban Orange County wasn\u2019t exactly checking my style boxes.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I studied the outfits of Alexa Chung \u2014 even down to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.co.uk\/pin\/272819689896914614\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">haircut<\/a> \u2014 harder than any school subject. And, I threw just about every trend at the wall to see what would stick and feel most \u201cme.\u201d I swiftly transitioned from Juicy Couture tracksuits to 100% thrifted outfits, traded my polo shirts for band tees, and found myself \u2014 and my style \u2014 along the way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegoodtrade.com\/features\/finding-personal-style-tips\/\">Personal style<\/a> reveals so much about who we are and what our experience is at at any given point. But when our style is in flux or when it strays from what we knew it to be, it feels elusive and hard to grasp. We\u2019re prone to change \u2014 our styles change as we change. The biggest question is, how can we actually hone in on that personal aesthetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u201cDeveloping your style is akin to nurturing your personality \u2014 it takes time and patience.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>It starts by going easy on yourself. Developing your style is akin to nurturing your personality \u2014 it takes time and patience. I love this quote from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/leandramcohen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leandra Medine Cohen<\/a>:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLet your style happen to you. Let life begin to show on you, allow nature to take its course and then adjust, modify, accept what you are and make it the best. But there is an ingredient that I believe is often overlooked and seems to be at the crux of defining your style, and that is honesty. You can\u2019t know your style until you know yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though my personal style has <em>certainly<\/em> developed over the years, I\u2019ve nailed down some helpful tips for anyone looking to do the same. So, let\u2019s dive into the journey of finding oneself \u2014 ahem, one\u2019s style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-identify-your-icons-and-inspiration\">1. Identify your icons and inspiration<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As I mentioned before, my 14+ year-old self <em>idolized<\/em> Alexa Chung. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegoodtrade.com\/features\/french-girl-style\/\">French girl style<\/a>? I wanted English girl beauty, and I wanted it <em>bad<\/em>. I got the haircut, tried to find the cheeky vintage tees, and despite having vastly different body shapes, even tried to replicate the outfits piece-by-piece.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That obsession has morphed into an appreciation (and recognition that some things just don\u2019t work for me). Since then, I\u2019ve looked to people whose style feels similar to mine <em>and<\/em> whose body looks similar to mine, so I have a better understanding of how something is going to fit me. It\u2019s helped a lot to not feel crushed by the realization that I will never have a model figure, too. Go, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegoodtrade.com\/features\/body-neutrality\/\">body neutrality<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When considering style icons, think of movie characters you love, musicians, or yes, even Instagram-celebs. No shame in lovin\u2019 on the celebrity game \u2014 they have stylists for a reason.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"2048\" data-id=\"72771\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thegoodtrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/personal-aesthetic-2-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"A woman in a black top and white skirt sits alone at an outdoor caf\u00e9 table, reaching into her tan handbag under a beige umbrella.\" class=\"wp-image-72771\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thegoodtrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/personal-aesthetic-2-scaled.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thegoodtrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/personal-aesthetic-2-300x400.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.thegoodtrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/personal-aesthetic-2-488x650.jpeg 488w, https:\/\/www.thegoodtrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/personal-aesthetic-2-150x200.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.thegoodtrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/personal-aesthetic-2-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.thegoodtrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/personal-aesthetic-2-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/www.thegoodtrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/personal-aesthetic-2-1920x2560.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thegoodtrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/personal-aesthetic-2-900x1200.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/www.thegoodtrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/personal-aesthetic-2-330x440.jpeg 330w, https:\/\/www.thegoodtrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/personal-aesthetic-2-423x564.jpeg 423w, https:\/\/www.thegoodtrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/personal-aesthetic-2-576x768.jpeg 576w, https:\/\/www.thegoodtrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/personal-aesthetic-2-882x1176.jpeg 882w, https:\/\/www.thegoodtrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/personal-aesthetic-2-281x375.jpeg 281w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1799\" data-id=\"72770\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thegoodtrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/personal-aesthetic-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Woman with a brown shoulder bag and striped shirt stands near stairs, facing away, holding up her hand.
