As a child, fashion felt like something I was supposed to fit into. But as an adult, I\u2019ve realised it\u2019s about creating your own space. I\u2019m less focused on trends and more on what makes me feel confident.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She describes fashion as a \u201cform of non-verbal communication\u201d. \u201cIt\u2019s how I express who I am and what I\u2019m feeling without having to say a word. I think of it as a creative outlet that allows me to play with different ideas, emotions, and styles depending on the day. It\u2019s less about following trends and more about telling a story in a way that feels authentic,\u201d she shared.<\/p><div id=\"antig-264666513\" class=\"antig-content_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"500X500 (1)\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:150\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Noting that her style has evolved since moving to Jamaica, she also credits getting older for the changes in her wardrobe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s more a reflection of me getting older and understanding myself in addition to gaining the confidence to embrace my growth in a new environment.

The journey has been both rewarding and challenging. But I find joy in each stage of content creation because it allows me to blend creativity with strategy. It has given me the freedom to connect with others and express myself in a way that\u2019s both visual and meaningful,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drawing on looks that achieve the right balance between quality, versatility and unique designs, Charles takes great pleasure in discovering timeless pieces with a modern twist. \u201cI\u2019m all about mixing high-end with more accessible pieces and discovering new labels that bring something fresh to my wardrobe. For me, it\u2019s not about the brand name but more about how well a piece fits into my style and makes me feel confident.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The essential styles currently trending in her closet include flowing maxi dresses, which are perfect for the island breeze; statement earrings because accessories can always make an outfit pop; classic heels for elevation; high-waisted jeans to go with just about everything and bold printed tops, which pay homage to her Caribbean roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Priding herself on being a fashionista in her own right, it is a role that she happily explores with all its frills, thrills and even quirks. The beauty of fashion, she says, can be found in curiosity, not in perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of her style icons is host, entrepreneur, author and local trailblazer, Dr Terri-Karelle Johnson. \u201cShe exudes confidence and elegance while effortlessly mixing bold choices with timeless pieces. I admire how she embraces her individuality and encourages others to do the same,\u201d she said, adding, \u201cHer ability to showcase a range of styles, from chic and sophisticated to fun and playful, resonates with me, and I find her approach to fashion refreshing and relatable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the international scene, she is inspired by Hollywood actress Tracee Ellis Ross, who seamlessly achieves this incredible balance of elegance and playfulness. Both icons show that you don\u2019t have to stick to one look: style is multifaceted, much like the persons wearing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a woman looking to find her style but doesn\u2019t know where to start, Charles advises that she begins by figuring out what makes her feel comfortable and confident and then build from there, \u201cIt\u2019s not about mimicking someone else; it\u2019s about finding pieces that inspire and resonate with you. Don\u2019t be afraid to experiment and make mistakes; each step teaches you more about yourself. Remember, style is personal and evolves as you do. Be patient, and let your unique personality shine through in your choices.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-3500224891\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SOURCE-JAMAICA GLEANER: Born and raised in Antigua and Barbuda, Christine Charles\u2019 move to Jamaica was influenced by an exciting mix of educational pursuit and cultural adventure. \u201cI came to Jamaica initially for school, and the experience has been incredible!\u201d Charles told&nbsp;Living&nbsp;as she discussed all things fashion.
