It's easy to get lost in the masses. It doesn't take much to become identifable. Let's look at some celebs who are known as individual and how they pulled it off -

Our favorite adventurer is known for his good-luck charm necklace that he is never without and his scarf.
Johnny Depp
This ultra-star is all about accessory stacking.

Cyndi Lauper
She owns the colored hair!

Remember the basic rules - if you wear a bow tie all the time, you're sending a message. Do you want to be known as neat, fussy, and conservative? It works! If you wear flowing clothes all the time but are super intellectual, you might be taken for a woo-woo girl.
