Comments on: Does the term Signature Style really mean “stuck in a rut”: what does what you wear say about you?

Having lost some weight recently, I’ve tried to shake up my wardrobe a little, only to be told in work “You look really weird in a skirt.” Thing is, I feel skirts/dresses are much more me & are actually what I used to wear all the time. But people get used to seeing you a certain way, and it seems I’ve been labelled a “trouser person.”

I think it all depends on your attitude. You are either ‘stuck in a rut’ or you know what you like and what suits you.

I often get people saying clothes are ‘very you’, and I love it!

Fiona I blame All Saints and their “I Know Where It’s At” video for that

Speaking of Florence Welsh, did you see the pictures of her at Kate Moss’ book launch? I think she has a new stylist.

I love when people have a signature style – even when its a bit wacky! Love Florence Welsh’s look … on her its just right.

Having a signature style makes me think that you have a strong sense of who you are. I was only thinking the other day about a girl I knew in college who was totally “grunge” – all Doc Martins, black, leggings and dreads(yes, this was many years ago) in 1st year, and when we all came back after the summer had transformed into “techno” bright colours, sneakers etc (as I said… many, many years ago). I could only think – what a flake!

Its hard to admit it but sometimes a certain look is more about comfort than style!
Life is tough enough without clothes being a hassle but when i am feeling lazy about changing my look i try and remember how great you feel when your outfit works and you feel good!

I try to shake it up day to day although I’m getting a bit reliant on the aulskinny jeans/knee high boots combo of late.

I defo have a style I’ve stuck with for years. I always wore boot leg jeans & tops. Only recently enough (compared to others) did I even break into the world of skinny jeans (which I now love)!
Even the dresses I wear are usually cut quite similarly. I have thought about shaking it up a bit but every time I try on something new style-wise, I don’t think it looks good on me so I go back to a variation of what I know and am happy with

Pink – take it as the compliment they mean it to be – you always look great!

When people admire my outfit choices they often follow up with the comment ‘it’s very you’ so I always wonder am I too predictable. I’ve tried to mix it up but I’m never as comfortable when I break away from my style staples of pencil skirts, heels and red lippy.

Kim wears awful shoes that make her legs look stumpy. But I think there are times when she can work that little waist very well. Must be hard to find clothes that fit and complement that butt though.

I’m totes guilty of wearing the same aul thing:
1) patterned dress with sleeves for going out

2 jumper and jeans with trainers for wherever

3) A-line skirt / bootcut pants / pencil skirt with a v-neck sweater for work. I’m top heavy so forget about finding a nice shirt that will close securely over the girls. Just wish nice wrap tops were easier to find
