Personal style might look like a surface-level thing, but it’s actually one of the most psychologically loaded choices we make every day. What we wear shapes how we’re perceived, how we feel, and sometimes even what parts of ourselves we give permission to show. In this episode, we’re unpacking the psychology of personal style - why we’re drawn to what we’re drawn to, what shapes our wardrobe, and how to find a style that actually feels like you.

We explore:

•        How upbringing and early experiences shape what feels safe, flattering, or off-limits
•        The role of the Big Five personality traits
•        Style as identity signalling
•        How clothes shift out mood
•        The role of trends and fast fashion in conformity
•        How to rediscover your personal style

If you’ve ever felt like your wardrobe doesn’t quite match who you are, this episode is for you.
