Unveiling Your Best Self: The Three Keys to Elevating Your Style

In the intricate tapestry of personal expression, fashion is a powerful medium to convey one's identity and creativity. Elevating your style is an empowering journey that goes beyond the mere selection of clothes. To truly stand out and bump yourself up, consider the holistic approach of enhancing not just your wardrobe but also your hair and skin/makeup. In this article, we'll delve into the three keys that will unlock the door to a more refined and elevated version of yourself: clothes, hair, and skin/makeup.

Style: Where your personality shines

Fashion is a language, and your style is the story you tell the world. Elevating your look is more than choosing clothes; it's about understanding your best colors, body shape, and personal style adjectives. Let's explore the elements to unlock your highest style potential.

The first step is to determine your undertones—warm or cool—and the second step is to determine if your skin tone favors more vibrant or muted colors. You then build a wardrobe around those colors that enhance your beauty. Another aspect of improving your style is buying clothes that flatter your body shape. Identify whether you're an hourglass, pear, apple, rectangle, or inverted triangle. Invest in tailoring for a polished look and choose styles that highlight your favorite features. Lastly, define your style with adjectives—classic, edgy, bohemian, minimalist. Reflect on your preferences and curate a signature look that aligns with your unique fashion identity.

Find Your Signature Hairstyles

Your day-to-day hairstyle can have a drastic impact on how you look and feel about yourself. A hairstyle that suits you will automatically make you look more lively and put together. A hairstyle that doesn’t suit you will do the exact opposite. You’ll want to find your top three best hairstyles and interchange between them.

There are a few things to consider when choosing these hairstyles. You must learn which colors suit you best. Knowing your color season can help determine which colors you should rock. The wrong color can make you look tired and washed out, making you feel like you need to wear makeup. The wrong haircut can also make your face appear unbalanced. Determining the correct volume and length will make your face appear more symmetrical. Play around with low, mid, and high volume styles along with short, medium, and long legnths. Or you can schedule a consultation with an image consultant who can point you in the right direction so you can save time and money. 

Skin/Makeup: The Radiant Glow

The main thing people focus on when interacting with you is your face. Your skin is a canvas, and makeup is the artistry that enhances your features. A healthy, radiant complexion, coupled with strategic makeup application, can elevate your style and boost your confidence.

Skincare has to be a priority. A consistent skincare routine to achieve a natural, radiant glow can make all the difference in not just your appearance, but in your confidence as well. Take the time to notice what your skin responds positively to. And if you’re struggling, speak with a dermatologist to build a skincare routine perfect for you. 

If makeup is your vibe, then continue with the same ideas mentioned before – only use things that like you back. Again knowing your best colors can help you determine which lipstick, blush, and eyeshadow shades you should gravitate toward. Hone in on your everyday beat and perfect it whenever you need to pull it out. 

Elevating your style involves a harmonious blend of clothes, hair, and skin/makeup. By curating a thoughtful wardrobe, picking a hairstyle that likes you back, and prioritizing skincare and strategic makeup application, you'll unlock the keys to a more refined and confident version of yourself. You don’t need to spend money on lashes, nails, waxing, or much else because those things won’t bump you up and move the needle as much as the three keys. And remember, this is about picking things that like you back but that you also like as well. The most impactful style is the one that authentically reflects who you are.
