What is personal style?
I am Nycka Nunes, one of the most experienced stylists in the world. I have been working in the fashion industry since 1981. I have my own work methodology. In this blog, I talk about personal style, personal branding and related topics. I also work as a visual artist, and this is my main role.
The term style is very trivialized because people confuse the names that journalists and bloggers use to describe collections with personal style. I have already explained this confusion in a previous text.
Having style is knowing how to use your appearance as a non-verbal communication tool. If people criticize you and you feel uncomfortable, you are not using this tool properly. If you are not bothered, but you bother others, due to a total lack of aesthetic sense, this is called low self-esteem, which is also a form of not having personal style.
Personal style requires self-knowledge and self-esteem.
Having personal style is VERY different and many levels above knowing how to dress without making gross mistakes.
Knowing how to dress according to your body type is the least that anyone with a minimum sense of aesthetics should know, because this is information that is freely spread on the internet, even though there is a lot of misinformation. Having a mirror at home (or using the mirror in the dressing room in stores) and being able to judge your own appearance as if you were someone else looking at you already helps you avoid making big mistakes in this regard. And even so, this is far from having style.
Following generic tips is far from having style. Following fashion trends takes you even further away from having style. Having personal style is expressing the best of your personality, and dressing strategically and intentionally. Most people can only have true style by hiring an experienced stylist like me. That's because you need someone fluent in the rules of nonverbal communication to achieve this result. And, of course, you need to have healthy self-esteem to do this. People who don't have good self-esteem will complain about the prices and will find a thousand excuses not to hire my work, even though I am more experienced than most style advisors. My focus is on showcasing my clients' personalities with good taste and creativity, even when they work in activities where the dress code is usually quite conservative. My biggest pleasure is to help clients who are self confident enough to dress bold like some celebrities do, but according to their own reality.
If you have high quality standards, you only have one choice to develop your personal style, and that choice is me. See the sidebar to find out how to hire me. My services are available for customers from any country, although I don’t travel to all countries. I do not visit countries at war or where my safety could be threatened in any way, including countries with Islamic regimes that force women to adhere to a very strict dress code.
