Unlocking Your Signature Style: The Three Word Method by Allison Bornstein
Have you ever found yourself standing in front of your wardrobe, overwhelmed by options yet feeling like you have nothing to wear? Shopping for clothes can often feel like a daunting task, especially when you’re trying to find pieces that genuinely represent who you are. But what if there was a simple and empowering way to ensure your wardrobe reflects your true self?
Enter the Three Word Method, a game-changing approach developed by renowned fashion stylist Allison Bornstein. Recently featured in Mamamia, this method helps women refine their personal style and make thoughtful fashion choices.
What is the Three Word Method?
The Three Word Method encourages you to identify three adjectives that best describe your style and who you want to be. This tool serves as a personal guide, helping you shop with intention and curate a wardrobe that aligns with your identity. It’s not just about trends; it’s about discovering and honoring your authentic self.
Step 1: Ask Yourself, “Who Am I?”
The first step is self-reflection. Think about your lifestyle, values, and the image you want to project. Are you adventurous, polished, or playful? Do you gravitate toward minimalism, bold patterns, or classic silhouettes? Your answers will help define your three words.
Step 2: What Should I Wear to Be True to Myself?
Once you’ve pinpointed your three words, use them as a filter when shopping or putting together outfits. For example, if your words are “elegant,” “relaxed,” and “modern,” you might prioritize versatile linen dresses, tailored pants, and contemporary accessories.
Why It Works
The Three Word Method simplifies decision-making and eliminates impulse buys that don’t serve your wardrobe. It’s a mindful approach that ensures every piece you own feels purposeful and aligns with your unique style. It’s also a fantastic tool for event dressing, as highlighted in the Mamamia article. Whether you’re attending a summer wedding or a casual lunch, your three words provide clarity and confidence.
