Your personality is often a strong indicator of what
type of style suits you best. For example a woman who is soft-spoken
and likes to daydream usually gravitates towards frilly pieces like lace
and ruffles while driven and direct personalities steer towards
structured pieces and clean lines.
When you stray away
from your natural clothing personality you may feel uncomfortable even
if the clothes look good aesthetically.
This discomfort
often shows and will lead to an unflattering fashion victim look.
Staying with your true clothing personality results in you naturally
feeling good. Inner beauty may be more important but exterior beauty has
more impact.
To discover your style
DNA, know what best describes your personality. Are you; well groomed,
sophisticated, organised, a trend setter and label-aware?
Or
are you spontaneous, direct, confident, independent, friendly, casual,
athletic, romantic, empathetic, sensitive, bold and open minded?
Knowing who you are helps you become more aware of where you are in your style journey.
MAJOR STYLE PERSONALITIES
The five major style personalities are:
The
rebel or trend setter: Lives and breathes fashion and is always at the
fore front of new trends. Bold in their choices, they fearlessly chart
their own course through fashion without a thought for anyone’s opinion.
Celebrity personalities in this category include; Rihanna, Beyoncé and
Sylvia Njoki.
The hippie or bohemian:
Has a laid back approach to fashion opting more for draped and flowing
caftans, unusual cuts and style lines or bold prints and colour
contrasts.
hey also pay special
attention to accessories like statement neckpieces, multilayered
bracelets and cocktail rings. Celebrity personalities; Solange, Rachel
Zoe, Nicole Richie, Annabel Onyango.
Sultry siren: may also sometimes be known as a diva.
They
enjoy dressing and playing up their sensuality and are always in fitted
styles that mold and celebrate their curves paired with a sexy
attention grabbing high heel. Celebrity personalities; Jennifer Lopez,
Sofia Vergara, Kim Kardashian, Grace Msalame.
Classic:
A classic style personality is always elegant and timeless in their
choices. Favoring pieces that have clean lines and minimal detail, they
find what most flatters their figure and almost never stray from this.
Celebrity personalities; Jackie O, Jennifer Aniston, Kate Middleton,
Susan Wong.
Romantic: Romantics
gravitate towards soft light dreamy styles often inspired by the 50s.
Pieces include baby doll dresses or full skirts in lace or chiffon,
light cashmere sweaters occasionally paired with polka dot headbands or
brogues. Celebrity personalities; Eva Mendes, Taylor swift.
While
we all have one primary fashion persona, we can have tendencies towards
others creating a somewhat secondary persona that may vary depending on
your mood. Being comfortable in your own skin raises your confidence
and people around you will notice that.
Wearing
clothes that are true and compliment your fashion persona increases
your confidence level and who wouldn’t do without an extra boost.
Have a great week beautiful people.
