From Lace to Linen: What Your Favorite Fabrics Say About Your Style

When it comes to building a personal style that truly feels like you, texture is one of the most overlooked but most powerful elements to consider. Beyond color and silhouette, texture shapes how a garment feels, moves, and expresses who you are.

Start by exploring the textures you naturally reach for. Do you feel most confident in delicate details like frills, lace, or soft, flowing fabrics? These choices often reflect a love for clothing that feels light, feminine, or romantic. Or, if you are drawn to crisp pleats, clean lines, or tailored pieces, you might prefer a more structured and refined look that feels polished and intentional.

Florals, embroidery, tweed, leather, linen fabrics each have a visual and textural presence. Some people love the relaxed feel of natural textures like cotton and linen. Others are drawn to smooth satin, polished suiting, or rich knits.

Next time you are reviewing your Pinterest boards, or your closet or you see something new, focus less on color and cut and more on the texture of each piece. Ask yourself:

• Do I prefer soft or crisp textures?

• Does this outfit make me feel playful, powerful, elegant, or grounded?

• Do I enjoy the way the fabric flows, or do I like a sharper silhouette?

Texture is not just about touch. It’s a quiet, powerful way to express how you want to feel.
