10 Ways to Have Better, More Intentional Style in 2025

Reflecting on the mission and values of Art in the Find, I wanted to lay out what I think are the most important values in defining personal style. There are 10 I breakdown in this post here and if any in particular resonate with you, I’d love to hear them.

02 — Create Outfit Formulas

Start by taking one piece at a time and creating 3 outfits out of that piece. Change the layer & the shoe & accessory to make the outfit feel different. This is how you start to understand the types of clothes you like to wear which defines your own signature style.start by taking one piece at a time and creating 3 outfits out of that piece.

03 — Create A Seasonal Mood Board instead of Shopping

Creating seasonal moodboards will kickstart your creativity so you don’t feel the need to always buy something new. Instead use visual inspiration to style what’s already in your closet.

04 — Get Your Clothes Altered, Regularly

The most important way you can make your clothes last and feel tailored to you is to have them altered. This also helps to make you feel more invested in the pieces you own.

05 — Take A Style Course

If you really want to feel a deeper connection to your personal style, consider investing in an educational style course this year to start thinking about style from a different perspective.

06 — Assess your Closet once a Month

Once a month go through your pieces to see what you’re wearing and not wearing. This will help you maintain a closet that feels like you because it’s filled with pieces you’re using and you’re slowly weeding out pieces you don’t.

07 — Take 2-3 Photos of your Outfits a Week

At the end of each month, go back and look at your outfits. Ask yourself what you like about the outfits (so you can repeat that) or what you don’t. This will strengthen your style muscle so you can start to define your likes and notice any gaps.

08 — Tap into your Intuition

Before you’re about to buy something, ask if it’s something you want because it makes sense to you or something you want because someone else is making it look good.

Make 2025 the year you start to lean into your style intuition.

09 — Hit the Unfollow Button

In 2025, unfollow accounts that make you feel like you have to buy more to have better style - marketing preys off of the lost and you’re trying to hone in on creating better style & buying more isn’t going to create better style.
