Are you a fan of girls with distinct personal style, but unsure of how to personalize your own look? Do you want your sense of style to scream “you”? If so, you should establish your very own style trademark!

A style trademark is a certain look or piece you wear all the time, that people immediately associate with you. For instance, the character Blair Waldorf‘s trademark is the headband. Most of her outfits would just not be complete without the addition of a cute headband. Sometimes they are simple and other times they are elaborate, but nonetheless, Blair usually seems to have a headband incorporated into her look. Having a style trademark is a great way to personalize your look and set yourself apart from everyone else.

Here are some ideas to get you started towards finding your style trademark. Just remember that my ideas are only examples to guide you in the right direction. Your trademark should be 100% YOU!

Tips:

• Choose something that makes you feel comfortable and confident! You wouldn’t want your trademark to be high heels if you cannot walk 10 feet in them without stumbling.
• Do not choose a trend as your trademark! Something trendy will go out of style after a few seasons, so your trademark may not seem very fashionable after a while.
• Remember to choose something that gives you a wide variety of options so that you don’t look like you have the same exact outfit on every day.
• Make sure your trademark translates to all four seasons. You wouldn’t want to choose flip flops, for example, because your toes would be quite cold in wintertime.
• Wear your trademark all the time! If you want people to immediately recognize your style, you have to rock your trademark as often as possible. After a little while, people will come to know you for that look.
• Do not be afraid to change your trademark after a while. If you choose miniskirts as your trademark, you may not still want to be wearing them when you’ve joined the corporate world! Your style is likely to change after a few years (see: How to Change Your Style), so your trademark can evolve too!
