12 Style Resolutions to Make If You're an Introvert

Take the plunge and try out that trend you spotted on the runway or on someone's 'gram. Don't feel pressured to invest in every must-have item of the season, instead go with a popular top or maybe a shoe that aligns with your personal taste. The main goal is to attempt to step outside of your comfort zone with a trendy piece but still look like you.

Alright, introverts, you're all about the basics (white tees, button-downs, and sneakers), and lucky for you these pieces won't ever fade out of style. Do continue to focus on quality over quantity when shopping for these essentials.

Heels can be intimidating, not to mention uncomfortable, which is why we prefer the block heel. The height is most practical for your day-to-day activities, and they come in a variety of subtle colors to match your outfits.

Ask the most stylish friend you have on a shopping trip. Not only will she be well-versed on the trends, but she'll also be more likely to give you an honest opinion when you try on something. Sometimes a friend's gentle nudge is just the push you need to step up your style game.

If oversize clothing is your version of comfort and ease, that's completely OK. Thanks to brands like Vetements, hoodies are cool again, giving you the chance to update your lazy-girl staples. The next time you feel like wearing a pullover with sweats, pause. Look in the mirror and think how else you can style it — perhaps tucked into a skirt?

As an introvert, you prefer more subtle ways to show off your style, which means accessories will be your secret weapons. Whether you're wearing multiple rings or carrying the new It bag, you don't have to dress flashy for people to turn their gaze to your outfit. They will look because your accessory caught their eye.

Unsure of how to wear the off-the-shoulder trend or how to strategically drape a jacket over your shoulders? Bloggers are here to help, and with every outfit 'gram they take, it's basically a free style lesson for you. Identify your favorite ladies whose outfits speak to you, then attempt to make the looks your own.

You need a bit of confidence to pull off animal print, so start slowly with a shoe or even a belt. The trick is to keep the print from overpowering you until you feel 100 percent ready to take it on. When you're ready, buy the furriest animal-printed coat you can find and rock it with pride.

For a little confidence booster, take a photo of your outfit when you're really loving it. Whether or not you decide to share it on social media, just looking at that moment will make you feel good. Though, we would advise you to post on your 'gram because a few "likes" from your followers wouldn't hurt.

Instead of always buying the same items from the same few fast-fashion retailers, consider looking into smaller brands, boutiques, and online shops. You'll be surprised by one-of-a-kind finds, and it's the surest guarantee that you won't end up with the exact piece as someone else.

Black is your safety color, we know, but navy can be too. If you're not completely comfortable with trying a bold color like red or Greenery (Pantone's color of 2017), navy will be a comfortable jumping-off point for your outfits. And if you wish, you can still wear the hue with black — a win-win situation.

For all the introverts out there looking to step out of their style comfort zones in 2017, just remember one thing: have fun! You know where to find inspo, what the trends are, and hopefully where to shop. You've got this.
