Do you open your closet every morning and not know what to wear? Do you buy clothes but struggle to put outfits together? It might be time to create a style mood board! Itâs the perfect tool to define your fashion universe, refine your desires, and build a wardrobe that truly reflects you. And weâll explain how to do it, step by step âš
đ Why create a style mood board?
A mood board is an inspiration board that allows you to visualize your ideal style. It brings together images, colors, textures, looks, silhouettes... everything that speaks to you visually.
Creating your mood board is like making a âvision boardâ for your wardrobe. The result:
âïž You shop smarter
âïž You save time every morning
âïž You express your personality through your outfits

đŒïž Step 1: Gather inspiration
You can create your mood board online (on Pinterest or Canva) or in print (with magazine cutouts).
Where to look?
-
Pinterest: type âchic minimal style,â âboho outfit,â âfeminine streetwear,â etc.
-
Instagram: get inspired by the looks of your favorite influencers and/or explore hashtags like #frenchstyle, #outfitinspo, #my1996style
-
Movies & series: spot the looks that inspire you (and tell us in the comments who you thought of!)
-
Celebrities & influencers: who inspires you the most? Why?
đĄ Tip: Create a Pinterest board called âMY STYLEâ and start saving everything you like, without overthinking it.
đ Step 2: Analyze recurring elements
Look at your board as a whole:
-
What colors dominate?
-
What types of cuts or materials often reappear?
-
Are the looks rather casual, romantic, minimalist, bohemian?
Example: Do you notice a lot of neutral tones, loose cuts, blazers, and sneakers? Your style is probably leaning towards urban minimalist.
đ Step 3: Translate your mood board into concrete pieces

-
A key piece (e.g., an oversized blazer, a flowing midi skirt)
-
Recurring accessories (e.g., delicate gold jewelry, vintage glasses)
-
A recurring color palette
The important thing is to feel good. Style isn't a box to check; it's a reflection of who you are đ
