Brand yourself: Personalization in Fashion

Personalization is taking the fashion world by storm! Not only are customizable accessories quickly growing in popularity, but personalized fashion can also be seen in clothing and home decor trends. As Fashion United explains, “Personalization is seen as ‘the future’ of fashion. It will play a vital role in the fashion revolution.” Customizing your ensembles is fun, chic, and easier than you think!

The Link Between Fashion and Personality

The way you present yourself to the world says a lot about you as a person! From the way you carry yourself to the clothing and accessories you choose to wear, your outward appearance is one way to express yourself without saying a word. As an article from Forbes explains, “It's no news that your wardrobe says a lot about you. What you wear can inform passersby of your type of employment, as well as your ambitions, emotions and spending habits.” This phenomenon has even sparked a new type of psychology, dubbed “the psychology of dress,” which focuses on the relationship between personality and fashion.

There is actually scientific proof that you should not dress according to the way you feel, but instead, dress the way you want to feel! This is why putting on a nice outfit and doing your makeup on a bad day helps to improve your mood. One way to put together an ensemble that truly matches your personality and the way you wish to feel? Personalization. Customizing an outfit and making it truly your own, rather than putting on something that hundreds or thousands of other people are wearing, shows off your individuality and creativity!
