How Whering helped these 4 users find their personal style
By Florenne Earle Ledger published 17/01/2024
If you’re looking to find your personal style, we’re here to help. So far this month we’ve examined why we want to follow trends and how trend culture impacts personal style, so it’s only right to explain how to actually develop your personal style.
Rather than us telling you how Whering can help you curate your personal style, we thought we’d let our users do the talking, here’s what we learned:
How Whering users develop their personal style
Discovering new outfit combinations
W Pick and Dress Me are the perfect features to help you get more out of your current wardrobe. Mercedes and Holly share their experiences discovering new outfit combinations with Whering:
Mercedes, Malta - using Whering for 1 year: I'd say Whering pushed me to be bolder when it comes to my outfits, and combine things I wouldn't have thought of before. It's nice to step more into my own style and have my personality shine through it.
Holly, Yorkshire - using Whering since 2021: I have tried so many new outfits since using Whering. The app suggests combinations that I have never thought of and inspires me to try new pairings. I never thought of putting one of my tutus over or under a dress until Whering showed me an outfit with it!
We love helping our users discover sides to their style they haven’t considered before. It's style experimentation made sustainable ✨

Truly understanding their style
We’ve heard from so many of our Wherers that they learned new things about their style when they started tracking their outfits in the Planner and viewing their stats. What they thought they liked, wasn’t the same as what they wore all the time.
Lily, Canada - using Whering since 2022: Tracking my outfits in Whering helped me realise that I wear a lot of jeans - and I don't even really like jeans. Now I can look at all the times I wore jeans recently and see how I might swap in a different bottom I like wearing better.
Holly: I didn't know I had so many pairs of trousers - I thought I was a skirt/dress girly but there were a bunch of cool trousers I completely forgot about until I logged them. Now I give them a chance to shine.
Make space for all the different elements of your style with my stats.

Becoming a more conscious consumer
It makes sense that getting more out of the clothes you already own and truly understanding your style can help you consume more consciously, but that doesn't dull our excitement in hearing that we’ve helped people change their consumption habits for the better.
Lily: Whering has helped me realize what colours I actually wear in my closet and what jewelry and accessories really are my go-tos. Knowing both these things has helped make smarter investments when buying new clothes and accessories.
It is now a part of my shopping routine to look through my wardrobe in Whering and make sure it fills a gap in my wardrobe and will actually go with enough of my existing wardrobe to make new outfits.
Mercedes: Whering's made me realise I can actually always find a new combination or a workaround for a trend with the stuff I already have in my wardrobe. I've really ramped down on buying clothes and I think twice before hopping onto a new trend. I've got to totally love a trend and be sure I'll be following it for a long time before I go and buy an item.
Wherers can keep track of items they’ve got their eye on in their Wishlist, or styles they want to remember in their Moodboard, so when it comes to making new purchases they can think carefully about whether it’s something they really want, referring back to their inspo saved in the Whering app.

Wearing their full wardrobe
As well as buying less and buying better, we’ve expanded the potential of people’s current closets, helping them fall back in love with clothes they already own.
We don’t always need to buy new clothes to look better. We can be our best dressed selves with our existing wardrobes.
Holly: I wear more of my clothes now I am using Whering. I used to just pull the same combos but now I can search for an item and look back at what I wore to see how long I've left something unloved. It encourages me to invent new ways of wearing items and then if I really can't make it work, I can sell it to someone else in my local pre-worn community.
Ben, UK, using Whering for 2 months: I like to be a good steward of what I own so I organise and categorise plenty of my things and my wardrobe is no different. I like that Whering makes it so easy and functional to do so. It allows me to have a good overview of all the clothes I own and that enables me to make informed decisions faster.
