As women, we all have our own personal aesthetic. Be it carelessly unintentional or meticulously curated, your personal aesthetic type helps communicate to the world a certain essence about the woman that you are.
To be “aesthetic”, as formally defined, is to be pleasing to look at. To be attractive, alluring, and beautiful. While as women we technically don’t need to do anything to be aesthetic (we are naturally so), can we amplify our beauty, whilst adding our own personality and flair? I believe so.
Though our personal aesthetics are dynamic and varied, many of our personal styles also share a similar character. Through your clothes, hair, make-up, aura, and personality we can curate a personal style aesthetic all your own.
Need a list of different types of aesthetics to inspire a new look? Here are some fabulous fashion aesthetic types for feminine women to help refresh your personal style right now.
