The Three-Step Style Changing (or Finding) Process | Diet Menu

Do you think you don?t have style? When you look at yourself in the mirror you look miles away from your style icon? Just try to follow the ?Three Steps? process and you?ll get a brand new style consciousness.

Some people have got style. It?s natural, it?s in their blood, they just have to pick whatever is on top of the clothes pile on the chair and they look just fabulous.

Some other people look in the mirror and are never satisfied with their look, it seems there is always something wrong. The harder they try, the more they look a million miles away from any of the style icons who pop out of fashion magazines.

You keep buying a lots of fashion and lifestyle magazines, you keep buying the clothes that claim to take closer to your favorite look, but it seems like you can never get it right. This is the moment when a radical change is needed, not only in the closet, but also in your attitude. You like that floral skirt and also the Prada striped dress on page 71, the azure cardigan you bought at Harrods a hundred years ago and the shiny red platforms you found on a stall in that hidden street market in Milan.

Great pieces, but when you wear them, they lose all their allure.

It?s the moment to start your three steps style changing (or finding) process:

Choose the style Select ? the ?take or toss? game Shop

Choose the style

If you want to look like a style icon, you must first get clued up on different styles and then choose which one you like the most, suits you better and is most appropriate for your lifestyle.

Browse the internet and fashion magazines and get an idea of what the main styles feature: a rock style will involve a lot of black, leather and metallic accessories; urban is all about large pants, cool hats and statement jumpers? Discover the casual chic style, the street style, the funky, the punk and the dodgy styles, vintage and prep, romantic and glam, country and eco-chic and so on.

Try to choose at least two different styles, but not more than three: you?ll have the freedom to choose which style is suited better to a particular day but you won?t risk mixing the styles and getting odd results.

Just to give you an example, I chose ?casual chic? as my main style, and ?urban? for free time and when I want to feel funky. I?m still thinking about my third pick, I could say ?street style?, but just because it can be defined as ?any interesting outfit you spot on people on the streets? and it?s all about mixing whatever you feel like, with one eye on what?s happening on the catwalks. But that?s another story.

Select ? the take or toss game

This is where the fun starts. As Carrie Bradshaw did with her girl friends in the first Sex and the City movie, put on some good old energizing tune (in the movie it was ?Walk this Way? by Run DMC + Aerosmith, which I would strongly recommend) and dive in the closet.

Pick all your items one by one and ask them the following questions:

Do you fit into at least one of the styles I chose? Have I worn you more than once in the last one year? Do I really love you so much that I can?t trash you?

If you get a yes to the first question, you probably don?t need to ask the other two and you should put the item on the ?take? pile.

If the answer is no to the first question and yes to at least one of the others, then you may want to make a ?for further evaluation? pile and repeat the exercise once the closet is empty.

Obviously, if you get three ?no?s just toss the item!

A step forward could be to put the ?take? pile back in the closet and sort the items by style. This will speed up your daily dressing up process significantly with no style mistake and you could even skip the ?look in the mirror? step.

Shop

Now that you have a new awareness, you can start shopping. You?ll find yourself unconsciously asking the first of the above questions to any of the clothes you?ll have in your hands. And you?ll be surprised about how much money you?ll save by avoiding inaccurate buys, i.e. those items you wear every morning and immediately take off because they don?t match any of your other clothes.

Now that you?re happy with your style, don?t let it go out of fashion, don?t stop browsing through magazines and websites and keep it up to date; you?ll discover your now expert look and you will enjoy the browsing even more than before. Because, finally, you?ll know what to do with those images!

Last advice comes from the divine Anna Dello Russo (Editor in chief for Vogue Japan): ?go bold, always. Don?t wear your best pieces only on gala occasions?.

It?s not worth it to spend a thousand euros for a red Valentino dress if you leave it in the closet waiting for the right occasion.
