Yourself to help with this process what Is the dominant color palette what are The key pieces that are often repeated What kind of accessories are used and How would you describe the overarching Aesthetic of these outfits personally I Like to actually put these things down In writing because I feel like writing Helps me memorize and Implement things Better so for example if I were to Answer these four questions I would say My dominant colors are white black gray And beige my key pieces are are white Sneakers black boots oversized t-shirts Hoodies and long coats I keep my Accessories simple I always wear the Same glasses and a necklace that was Given to me by my mom a watch that I Love and then I just play around with Different minimalistic rings in silver Or white gold with interesting shapes or Designs lastly I would describe my Overarching aesthetic as minimal Elevated and comfortable getting your Personal style identity down is the Biggest key to building a cohesive style For yourself and it's all about being Able ble to understand and extract those Elements that make up the outfits that You gravitate towards so take the time To do this exercise you can even save This video to rewatch it and get back to It later quick intermission for our Sponsors let's get one thing straight
When it comes to style it doesn't really Matter how good your fashion is if your Skin looks terrible sad truth I know but It's true and we all deal with our own Skin issues some people have very oily Skin some have dry skin some have acne Or sensitive skin that gets red easily So you need a great great skincare Routine to remedy that and a great Routine is one that works for your skin And for that geology has got your back Or in this case your face by completing A simple quiz in under 10 minutes Geology will prescribe you a fully Personalized skincare routine tailored To your skin type and needs the main Four products you'll get are a face wash A morning moisturizer an evening Moisturizer and an eye cream each one of These with personalized ingredients for Your skin you can get started with as Much as an 80% discount on your skincare Regimen by using code Tim 0 at the link In the description go check it out now Take care of your skin and now let's get Back to finding your style step three Buy slowly and intentionally now comes The fun part you've gotten the Inspiration you've got a mood board and A clearer vision of your style identity Which gives you a great starting point But don't just go on a mad shopping Spree and try to buy everything at once That's rookie mistake number one instead
Start with the key pieces that you Established earlier so if it were me I Would start by finding a great oversized White tea and buy two or three of those Then I would get a gray and black hoodie Currently I've been loving these two From fear of God and pante then I would Find one Timeless Overcoat one white Sneaker and one pair of black boots now That you have your key pieces you can Expand your wardrobe by trying and Adding on New pieces but make sure you Do it slowly and with intention be Careful not to buy things that you don't Actually need and end up never even Wearing them I've made those mistakes Before and I'm sure many of you have as Well so to the best of your ability you Want to try to only buy pieces that you Will wear for a very long time I would Look at what I'm missing for a Functional wardrobe and the obvious one Here is pants so now would be a good Time to go back to the mood boards and See what kind of pants we're often worn In the outfits the three that stand out For me are sweatpants smart trousers and Jeans so I would start by getting one of Each then you can experiment with other Categories so if you're a fan of hoodies For example try to see what other form Of midl you might enjoy maybe knitted Sweaters or turtlenecks or Cardigans Feel free to experiment if you like
Coats maybe try a shorter Jackets play Around with different materials you Might find that you really like denim Jackets or leather might be more your Thing once you've established your Signature pieces it is all about slow And intentional experimentation with the Rest every time you want to buy a new Piece ask yourself does this align with My aesthetic so you would look at how You describe this in your style identity Sheet I would ask does does this feel Minimal elevated and comfortable and do I see myself wearing this for at least The next 3 years if it is not a yes to Both of these questions I would pass on It step four readjust and expand by now You should have a solid wardrobe that You are happy with comfortable and Confident in but as you know style is an Ever evolving Journey how you dress Today is probably different to how you Dressed 5 years ago and probably Different to how you will dress 5 years From now it might not be drastically Different especially as you get older Hopefully you settle into a style that Feels authentic to you and isn't Impacted by every passing Trend but when You wear the same clothes for a long Time it's only normal to want a little Change to try something different to Freshen up your wardrobe and feel a Sense of newness which is why I think
It's important as you go through life to Consistently go back to step number one Exposure especially if you're watching This video that means that you like Fashion to a degree you enjoy it like You would a hobby so keep enjoying it Keep getting exposed to new fashion Watching videos paying attention to what People wear and when something new Sparks your interest consider dipping Your toe in you don't just find your Style like you would a treasure in the Sea it is not this immutable thing that You find once and then keep forever it's Changing it's evolving it grows with you But most of all it's meant to be a Playground a source of fun confidence And self-expression so enjoy this Journey and have fun with it I wish you A beautiful day my friends to
