(Ladies first! Men, watch out for yours in the upcoming posts.)
Hands up if you’ve ever bought a piece of clothing only to leave it to languish in your wardrobe because you couldn’t figure “how” to wear it.
What do you think is my style personality?
You are not alone.
For many of us, trying to figure out our style personality involves plenty of trial and error – often with more misses than hits. By understanding your style personality, you will be better able to choose clothing that complements who you are, which in turn makes you a more confident dresser.

Mainly A’s
Your style is Romantic
You are unapologetically feminine, preferring skirts over pants and gravitate towards pinks and peaches. You appreciate texture in your clothing – lace, tulle, ruffles – and especially love detailing such as bows and ribbons.
Mainly B’s
Your style is Classic
You’ve never been one to follow trends but prefer evergreen styles. Your mantra is to buy quality over quantity, and you’ll much rather wear tailored pants over a pair of jeans. You prefer classic colour combinations and avoid having loud colours or prints in your wardrobe.
Mainly C’s
Your style is Creative
You’ve always been a trendsetter and you approach dressing up the way you would an art project – with flair and creativity. Contrasting colour combinations, bold prints, theatrical outfits… you put unexpected items together to create that unique look. Fashion is how you have fun and you’re unafraid to go all in!
That’s right! My dominant style is creative, though I flow between secondary styles.
Mainly D’s
Your style is Dramatic
You are attracted to the glitz and glamour of pop stars like Beyonce or Jennifer Lopez, and aim to bring that star factor into all your outfits. Whether it’s with bold colours or striking prints, flashy accessories or glittery makeup, you dress to impress and are confident in your fashion choices.
Mainly E’s
Your style is Natural
You believe that fashion performs a function and its form is not as important. This is why you prioritise comfort over style, and prefer clothing that are loose-fitting and made with comfortable materials such as cotton or denim.
As you can see,
your style personality is an extension of your personality. Having a better understanding of your personality does not just stop at the clothes you wear – it can even help determine your choice of career. By identifying what you gravitate towards and what attracts your attention, you will be better equipped to understand the type of career and work environment you’ll thrive in.
