Stylist Vesna Cavic believes finding one’s style isn’t about blindly following fashion trends as everyone is unique.  

She says this process involves five pillars.

-Step one is knowing your own body shape to identify what type of fabric and neckline fit you best.

-Then, the other pillar will be colours. Understanding the colours will make you look vibrant, really charged, make you feel good about you.

-The third aspect delves into your clothing personality. 

-The fourth essential element is a deep dive into your closet. 

-The final step is developing your skill in mixing and matching.

Cavic says learning how to dress is like learning a new language. 

The more you put into it, the more you get out of it.
