How To Find Your Style in 2026

The way we express ourselves through fashion is always evolving—and 2026 is no exception. Whether you’re looking to refine your signature look, experiment with new trends, or simply feel confident in every outfit, discovering your personal style is the first step. The good news? It doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With a little inspiration, self-reflection, and expert guidance, you can create a wardrobe that truly reflects who you are.

Here are three simple tips to help you find your style in 2026 and take your outfits to the next level.

1. Lets Get Visual: Collect Inspiration Online

Lets get visual - Using a social platform is always a great way to visually pull together a mood board. Whether by pinning on Pinterest, bookmarking to a collection on Instagram, or even using good old fashioned magazine cut outs, you can save all sorts of outfits and styling that catches your eye. Don’t overthink it, all it takes is 15 minutes, whilst having a cuppa to scroll — just save anything that sparks a “yes!” feeling. Over time, you’ll start to notice patterns and ideas that resonate with you. Think of this as building your personal style library for 2026.

2. Define Your Style: The Three Word Rule

Once you have a collection of saved images, review your boards and look for recurring elements. Are there colours, fabrics, or silhouettes that keep showing up? Pick three words that best describe your style and identify common wardrobe pieces that create this look. For example your style could be summed up as feminine, colourful and elevated. This gives you a clear foundation to guide future outfit choices and helps you shop with intention. Create a shopping list of missing pieces in your wardrobe, that would enable you to create the desired looks.
