With the sunshine becoming a regular feature, shedding the extra layers and embracing a few new looks may be high on your wish list right now. But, do you really need to follow the latest trends to feel stylish? Not necessarily…so let’s talk about how to make this season’s looks really work for you.
I’ve recorded a video on my YouTube channel, which you can watch here. In under 5 minutes, you’ll hear more on how to navigate the season’s looks with confidence while reflecting your style, your way.
At the risk of repeating myself – just because something is on-trend and in ‘fashion’ doesn’t mean it’s right for you!
Understanding your colour type, body shape, and style personality is key to having the confidence to choose what works for you and what suits you.
Colour is just the start
Wearing the right colours can absolutely make a difference in how you look and feel. But, wearing the right colours is a great start – to truly feel amazing, they also need to reflect your personality and style. Colour is just one aspect of your overall image.
There could be a trending colour this season that is just perfect for you, and it’s in your palette and swatches. But, if it doesn’t feel “right” or like “you” when you wear it, it’s likely to hang unworn in your wardrobe.
Learning your colour type and how to wear your best colours is a great start, but it’s only part of the jigsaw.
Your Style Personality
That missing piece of the puzzle that brings everything together is your style personality. It’s the reason why two people with the same colouring will look completely different in what, and how, they choose to wear their colours.
For example, it’s the difference between one person leaning towards timeless tailoring and structured pieces, and the other in bold, floral floaty dresses. Someone opting for trainers or loafers, and those in kitten heels or block heels. No matter how on-trend something is, if it’s not ‘you’, you won’t feel like you when wearing it.
Let me be clear – it doesn’t mean you can’t wear something – you can wear whatever you like! It’s just you’ll have to try much harder than someone else for it to feel natural. And, in my experience, it means you’ll struggle to make it work easily, which often leads to you taking it off and hanging it back up – regretting the purchase.
Knowing your style personality helps you:
- Make choices that feel authentic
- Avoid impulse buys that don’t get worn
- Build a wardrobe that supports your lifestyle
Adapting the trends to suit you
This season, I’ve found nine key trends which I’ve featured in my Spring Summer 2025 seasonal update guides. The good news is – you don’t have to wear them all!
Instead, they’re a guide to help you filter down the choices and shop smarter, avoiding costly mistakes. Ultimately, this helps you buy and wear what suits you.
As a colour analysis and style expert, I want to help you make informed decisions – it’s not about encouraging you to spend money on the latest trends, but to check your wardrobe and plan what you need to fill in specific gaps.
Think of trends as inspiration. What appeals to you? Can you take a little bit and apply it differently? Do they reflect your personality and flatter your shape?
Remember that you don’t have to wear a trend head-to-toe! Bring them in through accessories, prints, or even in how you style something you already have. A bag, a print, or a pop of colour might be enough to bring a trend into your look and reinvent something you’ve already got.
Knowing your colouring helps you choose the right shades with ease. Simply compare the shades to your palette or use my Colour Trend Guide to shop for your best shades.
