How to find your personal style
Cosmopolitan India
|November - December 2023
Yes, you have one. Or at least you do now...

Let's start with a simple visual: Think of your ideal wardrobe as the suitcase you'd pack for a trip where the itinerary is 'grab chic pics at every destination'. You'd likely take your favourite new dress, the pair of jeans that fit you like a glove, and your wear-everywhere sneakers-not the clothes that've been squished to the sides of your closet for two years. The lesson here? Personal style is about curation, editing out pieces that don't feel right, and investing in ones that feel great every day. Now, let's...
1. Shop your closet before you shop the shops
Empty your dresser drawers and put only your best stuff back. Donate the rest. What remains is your foundation and a blueprint for the things you are drawn to and should get more of. This process will also help you realise you have more favourite outfits than you think.
2. Stop letting social media detour your direction
