Taking the time to discover your style personality can help you dress more authentically, shop smarter, build a cohesive wardrobe, feel more confident, and enjoy dressing every day. It is the first step to defining your style and developing a ‘uniquely you’ look, which is one of the most effective communication tools. Your ‘style personality’ is the factor that brings your style together and makes it uniquely you!
When choosing clothes, colors, accessories, and hairstyles your style personality will be what makes your choices feel right! The result is a wardrobe full of clothes that go together, you will be able to mix and match with ease, and getting dressed will become an enjoyable and creative experience.
Generally, most people fall into five general style personalities. That’s not to say that you can’t play with other styles or that your personality is unable to change.
