如何找准自己的着装风格？（双语）

　　1. If one of your friends has on an outfit you really like, you can ask them where they got it.

　　如果你的朋友穿着一套你特别喜欢的衣服,，你可以问问他们是从哪儿买来的。

　　Look around you and notice what friends, family, movie stars, musicians etc. are wearing. Ask yourself what you like/don't like about their personal style and make note of the things you would like to add to your own style.

　　2. Write down all of your unique interests and tastes.

　　把你独特的着装品味都写出来

　　Discover your personality, interests, likes and dislikes. You probably already know if you prefer rock music or country, blue jeans or pencil skirts but have you ever really thought about each of your tastes and what that means to your personal style? Make a list, either mentally or on a piece of paper of all your unique interests and tastes and circle a few that you would like to convey.

　　3. Ask yourself who you want to be.

　　问问自己，你想成打扮成谁的样子?

　　After you've discovered your tastes, you'll probably have a better idea of what you want to be. However, make sure that it is something you really want and have the personality for and not just something you think is cool. For example, do you want people to see you as an artist, or an athlete, a romantic or a rocker?

　　4. Think about what kind of clothing you would wear as this person.

　　想想穿什么衣服才能凸显你这个人呢?

　　You can use the internet to do some research on what kind of clothing others of your style like to wear. Write down the styles you like as well as your favourite colours and general clothing items. Unless you want to be really hardcore, you don't need to buy everything super sporty or really artsy. Feel free to splash in other items and colours that you like as well-that will make it more unique anyway.

　　5. Look in your closet and see what you already have.

　　翻翻你的衣柜，看看自己有些什么可以穿戴的东西

　　Perhaps you actually have a whole collection of berets that would suit your Bohemian or Artist look. Maybe your closet is full of jeans that you could rip up for your vintage style. It's always best to start at home before spending a bunch of money on new clothing.

　　6. Go shopping.

　　去购物吧

　　You don't have to go anywhere fancy - the thrift store will do! Of course, you probably want to get a few new things but depending on your budget, buying a whole new wardrobe from the mall could be pretty expensive. While shopping, look for things that grab your eye and suit your new style.

　　7. Wear it with confidence.

　　自信地穿出来吧

　　Start showing off your new style by wearing it. It may be hard at first to make new outfits or, if your style is extremely unique, to wear it out but the sooner you do this step, the sooner you will have your own style.

　　8. Create an inspirational scrapbook or portfolio of clothes or styles you like.

　　做一个有创意的贴画簿，或者把你喜欢的着装或风格混搭起来

　　A good place to find clothing advertisements are in magazines, especially fashion ones. Looking at these can give you ideas of what you would like to wear, and clothes to buy to help establish your personal sense of style.
