The Costume of You

The Costume of You

Take a moment to reflect on your personal style—what outfit do you wear most often that feels like you? Now, imagine you're the main character in a movie or television show. Sketch this outfit, paying attention to the details—what’s your clothing telling the audience about who you are, how you feel, or the story you’re living? What does your outfit say about your personality, role in the world, or even your mood?

How This Helps

This exercise helps you gain a deeper understanding of how you express yourself through your clothing and style choices. By analyzing how your outfit reflects your identity, you’ll learn to make choices that align more closely with how you see yourself. This will help you become more intentional in your self-expression and empower you to dress in ways that resonate with your true self.

How Often?

Try this once a month or whenever you’re looking to reflect on how your wardrobe influences the way you present yourself.

Want to Take It Further?

Now, imagine an alternate version of yourself—perhaps a character you’d love to play in a movie or TV show. Design a costume for this version of you, paying attention to how the design reflects a different persona or a new world you’d inhabit. What details would you add to tell a different kind of story?
