How do you develop a style?

School is starting soon and one of my younger relatives will be entering into her freshman year of high school. While she is focused on good grades and doing well in school, her biggest worry right now is that she doesn’t have a personal style. She is school shopping this weekend and has no clue where to begin. Since she is starting high school, her parents are letting her go all out with a new wardrobe, but she has no idea where to begin. So, how do you develop your own style?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Be yourself. Then you have something no one else can copy.

Stores like Neiman Marcus (and Holt Renfrew, here in Canada) have free personal shoppers/consultants that you can book with an appointment. I'm not sure if they're always free, but I can book them for free because I have a specific type of credit card. Anyway, they know exactly how to pair everything.

I'd recommend having someone like that help with style. Building a wardrobe only gets more and more important as you get older. Even if you don't ultimately use a service like that, a knowledgeable salesperson can still really help. Also, to be completely honest, I didn't dress as well in high school as I wish I did. In hindsight, spending more money at the time to get it right would have been very worthwhile. Besides, looking great is the first step towards feeling great!

I agree with "be yourself" - though I do remember that's not always easy to do when you are a teenager. The idea is solid though - start small. Have her find one thing she really, really likes to wear. If it's a necklace, bracelet, hair clip, sweater, whatever it is, try to build from there. Style is one of those things that you can't really do all at once, you know? That one main thing can become her "signature," and she can then gradually add in other things she likes as she finds them. If her parents are letting her go "all out" at first, I'd advise her to go for "classic" pieces and save the funky or trendy for accessories.

Love the legwarmers in that pic Danikay :)
