Yes, seriously. People-watching is one of the most underrated ways to find style inspiration. Head to a coffee shop, a busy city street, or even a local park and start observing how people are dressed.
Are you drawn to women in jeans and sneakers or dresses and heels?
Do you notice a lot of people layering jackets over sweaters, or are they keeping it simple with a t-shirt and jeans?
What color palettes and outfit combinations catch your eye?
If you’re drawn to people wearing relaxed trousers, oversized button-downs, and sleek sneakers, you might be leaning toward a relaxed yet polished style. If you find yourself admiring women in flowy dresses and chunky boots, you could have more of a boho or edgy taste.
3. Watch Classic Movies
Style isn’t just about trends—it’s also about how clothes make you feel. And no one does that better than the movies.
Watch classic films and pay attention to the costumes. How do the characters’ outfits reflect their personalities?
Are you drawn to the tailored coats and shift dresses in Breakfast at Tiffany’s or the flowy bohemian vibes in Almost Famous?
Take note of the fabrics, shapes, and color combinations you naturally like.
If you love the clean lines and tailored shapes in 1950s movies, you probably lean toward a structured, classic style. If you love the relaxed feel of the outfits in 1970s films, you might be more into casual or bohemian pieces. Check out this article on the best 80s Movies that will have you rethink your wardrobe.
4. Find a New Hobby
It might seem unrelated, but style is often cultivated through life experiences. When you develop new interests and explore new environments, your style naturally starts to shift and reflect those changes.
Taking up pilates might lead you toward more relaxed, breathable fabrics like cotton and jersey.
Traveling could inspire you to add more color or texture to your wardrobe.
Joining a creative community might push you toward bolder patterns and unique statement pieces.
If you spend most of your time at the office but recently started hiking on the weekends, you might want to incorporate more functional, comfortable pieces like leggings, hoodies, and waterproof jackets into your wardrobe.
