You Aren't Born With Great Style—You Have to Practice It
In
our January content series, How to Get Dressed Again, Who What Wear
UK discusses the idea that 2018 isn't about a "brand new you," but
rather a "best you, full stop." Emerging from winter hibernation and
back into reality, we're looking at the methods, ideas, tricks and
inspiration to guide you into the New Year. Forget fads and racing to
the finish line—this is all about one clever step at a time and setting
yourself up for an entirely stylish year.
Introducing Alyson Walsh: She's the over-40 blogger of That's Not My Age and author
of Know Your Style. Here she talks us through the myths surrounding
personal style. Trust us—you're going to love what she has to say.
What does "know your style" even mean? Is it akin
to knowing yourself or knowing your onions—or perhaps a bit of both?
Over my 30-year career in fashion—from magazine reader makeovers to
meeting women at various events and online or simply chatting with
friends (even the ones who seem confident, comfortable and chic)—I have
regularly been asked questions about style. And this often comes down to
establishing what piece goes with what—which accessories complement a
favourite outfit, what colours coordinate well or make the perfect
mismatch or what to wear for a special occasion without spending loads
of money.
Knowing what goes with what does feature an
element of gut instinct, but I do think style is something that can be
learned. You can practice it—which is part of the first myth I aim to
debunk here. Keep reading to find out how to develop a great sense of style by ignoring all of the rules you've been taught.
