You need to let your true personality shine through. If you’re a lively versatile type, it’s criminal to murder your spirit by over-matching! Uniform dressing is the quickest way to stamp out individuality, while a little risk taking is the sure fast–track towards getting noticed.
Your personality acts as a catalyst that pulls your personal look together. It dictates your style, which is your basic interpretation of fashion and how you like to wear clothes. So, some of you probably already know your style personality, and some of you are as green as they come about where you fit in!
What’s your style personality?
• Are you constantly changing your look to suit the latest fashion trend, a trend setter AS opposed to a trend follower? Then you’re a creative style personality.
• Do you choose clothes that get you noticed and sometimes even shock? Then you’re a dramatic style personality.
• Do you love pretty, flowery feminine details and luxurious fabrics like silk? Then you’re a romantic style personality.
• Do you look the same most of the time, simple, well groomed, nothing out of place or shocking, always co-coordinated? Then you’re a classic style personality.
• Do you dress to look like you don’t really care about the world seeing you unkempt, with messy hair and without any make-up? Then you’re a natural style personality.
• Do your accessories resemble something in a vogue magazine, fashionable but not overly trendy, and your clothes are understated yet people just remember that you looked good, but can’t always recall exactly what you were wearing? Then you are a City Chic style personality.
