Quite anything can feel overwhelming, until it doesn’t. Personal style is this way. You see, personal style is a convergence of many elements—often invisible to the eye, and even more often, invisible to ourselves. Until we bring them into focus in The Style Venn Diagram.
Personal style is indeed personal. How we “feel” in what we wear is a combination of myriad components here in the diagram. Things that your friends, your family, and certainly a passerby, social media commenter, or salesperson at a store don’t know, couldn’t know, and don’t need to know. You knowing is all that matters—so you can make better decisions and respond more confidently when someone believes differently.
It’s personal. Understanding who you are is a critical step in developing your personal style. The Style Venn Diagram will help you break it down, to make better choices, and to have good discourse around your style. See?
