WE are all as individual as our signature . . . Some things will never change, people are known for their different personalities, it may be funky, cool, laid back and generally it all contributes to your character’s signature.
In the world of fashion and style “signature style” is about your lifestyle and appearance — this is what generally constitutes your character.
With so many clothing choices open to us today, getting dressed is more of a challenge than pleasure. And with the ever-increasing demands on our time, shopping for the perfect outfit can also be a touting test rather than rewarding experience. Any way create your own signature style and be known by it. Typical examples of signatories are rock stars, they flaunt around in punk hair styles with outrageous colours, move around in mini vans with “groupies” from the last concert.
So why not set your own trendy signature style and make it the next best fashion style?
In the newsroom, my friends and colleagues know me for my rust tinted locks, they call it madness, I call it moving with the time and setting a trend!
Here are a few tips on how to create your own signature.

Know what accessories work
Got a new outfit? You definitely need new earrings or new necklace, watch bracelet and so on . . . What kind of necklace? How long? What shoes? Do I put a belt on it — belts are everywhere aren’t they — should I wear one? As I mentioned under the expect guidance of a designer get yourself a good tailor or designer to help you choose the best to suit you.
You know I was going through my wardrobe and I reckon I spent a hell lot of money on stuff which doesn’t suit me.
