Personal Style After 40

How to Find Your Personal Style: A Step-by-Step Guide

Finding your personal style, especially after 40, can feel like a challenge. Your lifestyle has likely evolved, and your wardrobe should reflect that! Whether you're juggling work, family, or newfound passions, your style can empower you to express your best self with confidence. But where to begin?

Step 1: Assess Your Current Wardrobe

Start by going through your closet and asking yourself: "What pieces make me feel confident and comfortable?" Set aside items you haven’t worn in over a year or don’t align with your lifestyle anymore.

Step 2: Identify Your Style Icons

Who inspires your fashion choices? Whether it’s a celebrity, a public figure, or a stylish friend, finding a source of inspiration helps you visualize the looks that resonate with you.

Step 3: Consider Your Daily Life

Your wardrobe should fit your current needs. Are you dressing for the office, school runs, date nights, or travel? Defining your priorities will help you create a style that works for you, not against you.

Step 4: Experiment with Color and Texture

Many women find that their preferences for color and texture change over time. Don’t be afraid to explore new palettes, prints, and fabrics that can add interest to your wardrobe.

Step 5: Seek Professional Guidance

Sometimes, you need a fresh set of eyes to help you discover your true style. That’s where a virtual stylist can come in.

I’ve helped countless women over 40 find their signature look through personalized virtual consultations. One of my clients, for example, was unsure of how to transition her corporate wardrobe to suit her new role as a creative entrepreneur. Together, we curated a custom lookbook that balanced professionalism with her newfound freedom—and the results were transformative!
