My friends and family know that I will have a fab purse and pr of shoes on no matter what I wear. My everyday look consists of jeans, a cute top, great shoes and a great purse in a fun colour. I am also known for wearing only silver jewelry.

I have decided that part of my signature style is the color red. I absolutely love red and find myself drawn to it when I shop for clothing and accessories. My closet contains many items in red or various shades of red (from cranberry to pastel pink). I don't always wear red, but I do wear it often.

As far as clothing goes, I had very little fashion sense to speak of (or at least wore clothes unflattering to my body type and too-short pants) until I started reading Angie's blog in 2006. The only consistent thing was that I always love to wear black shirts and dark grey sweaters. I never wear black pants. I wear jeans every day and various tops, sometimes in colors that are not black!

Speaking of black, I have a gorgeous strand of black pearls I wear all of the time, not just for dressing up, but for ordinary things like playdates for my toddler or trips to the grocery store.

Aside from that, I would say my signature style is just being tall. I'm 6'2" and have always found clothing somewhat challenging to fit so when I find something that looks good, I stick with it. I believe that if someone were to describe me, they would comment on my height rather than what clothes I choose.

In all honesty, those who know me would say the eclectic nature of my wardrobe is my signature, so really I guess it's the absence of anything consistant in my wardrobe rather than the presence of anything consistant. I have several different styles, and what I wear depends largely on my mood. Of the six 'personas' outlined on the blog, I'm all but the sporty natural, it just depends on the day. I do try to keep things reasonable though, largely as Stacy and Clinton often outline on What Not to Wear, but there's plenty of room in there for me to express all of my personas.

My signature style is my pink tutu. I wear it with everything! (just kidding)

I don't know what my signature style is. I wear alot of black, but I really don't want that to be my signature! I will have to put some thought and effort into this.

I have been thinking about this for awhile trying to figure out what mine is or if I even have one. All I came up with is my hair and my scent. I have been known forever as the "girl with short blond hair". If I stray from this I don't feel like myself. I hate to get stuck in a rut, but my hair will always stay short and blond even if the style changes slightly. I only wear one perfume. I like the idea of one personal scent that nobody else wears. It took me awhile to find the perfect one because I don't really like perfume very much anyway, but I have found it and I am sticking with it.

I'm with Kit: my signature style is randomness. I like lacy girly tops, dresses, collared button up dress shirts, knit tops, skirts (long and short, patterned or plain), pants, jeans... you name it. The only bit of unity I have in my closet is my collection of 7 turtleneck sweaters. :) My jewelry is rather boring or classic; however you prefer to see it. I'm pieties and tend to wear small accessories and dainty shoes.

I'm known for wearing scarves (lighter ones in summer) :) I love the versatility and enjoy experimenting with colors and textures.

My signature style is layering!! A bit vague I know, but it have been doing it for years! In winter I like loads of layers - a nice fitted jacket under a big warm coat. Summer I like to wear chiffon and nice fine fabrics again with something under or over them. Even on a day about the house I will have a Y back vest top under a cami!

I also love scarves (again to do with the layering) big long pashminas, silk neck tie scarves, ribbon and even good old chunky wool winter scarf.

I'm known for matching my glasses to my outfit (I have 5 pairs), and usually to my shoes as well. I also have a lot of colorful earrings that I match to my outfit and/or shoes as well. I love accessories and I love shoes and people at my workplace figure this out quickly :-)

This is a fun thread...a bit old but I'm still jumping in the bandwagon. I had to think hard about what my signature style is, and I'm glad I did because I had never noticed patterns in the way I dress myself.

I am usually dressed in smart casual. I absolutely LOVE wearing jackets and I do so almost everyday. I love exotic jewelry from other countries....the intricate type and especially bracelets and earrings.

Also, I have always worn my hair curly, even when straight hair is still the most popular. I have hair like Sarah Jessica Parker, and even before she made curls more acceptable, I have always loved my hair. It is jet black and shiny and I love that it is different.

Until lately the most characteristic part of my style has been long, narrow, ankle length knit skirts in dark colors. I have been overweight for the past 3 years or so and the long skirts were the only things I could wear that made me look and feel slimmer. I am quite tall (5'-10") and I liked the long, vertical line the skirts gave me, especially when worn with heels or platforms. Now that I've lost 40 lbs. I feel much more confident wearing different things like pants and shorter skirts again so I guess I don't really have a consistent signature look anymore.

Metamelomai, sounds like being thin is your new signature look! :) Congrats on the weight loss. I, for one, know how difficult it can be to lose weight.

I prefer only wear one necklace on my clothes.
In summer short T-shirt and short skirt and a pair of sports shoes with a necklace

In winter I will add a sweater chain inside the coat. (jeans below):

I bought jewelry from this site. Nice and fashion.
So i strongly recommend.
Hope you will also love the site.

I know this is an old thread, but I'd love to see some new responses!

I think that I'm becoming known for ethnic inspired statement necklaces. I love them- always have, but I have really figuyred out a way to make them work for me. I actually like fairly clean lines in my clothing and a more tailored look and a fairly traditional style, paired with the ethnic accents.

I really am not sure what my signature style is, but I do know I'm quickly developing one. I just don't know exactly what to call it.

This topic never gets old!

Sarah, I'd say your style is feminine with a twist. And dresses are definitely part of your signature style -- you wear them well!

I just followed the link above and answered this, thinking it was today's blog post! I am only now realizing it is one year old.

I suppose my signature right now is cardigans, but I am more apt to go through phases and jags, where I will adopt a single "signature" item" and wear it daily for weeks on end, until moving on to the next item. For example, lately I've been sporting the yellow banana bag as a signature item, and also wearing a lot of grey plus white.

Thinking back over my lifetime, I remember in the late 80s/early 90s wearing a vintage pin on my lapel day after day. I OD'd on that look, but I saved those pins all these years, and have been enjoying wearing them again, in a new way.

Likewise I have a long onyx and gold necklace that was once a signature piece. I still have it but haven't worn it in eons. Perhaps I will again decide to go on a jag with it.

I went through a long period wearing red all the time. Nowadays, other than red shoes, I hesitate to wear red because I wore too much of it in that past phase.

And I had a green phase in recent years too. I still love green - and lately I feel a citron phase coming on. ;-)

Last summer I wore my long pearl necklace day after day.

You get the picture! I will fall in love with something, and want to wear it every day trying out new ways to make it fresh, until I get bored and I'm ready for the next new thing.

Shiny just posted a comment on a blog entry that's more than a year old! I guess this IS a never ending topic.

A signature style has so many facets and is not suspended in time. It can evolve.... or not. Some parts of my look and dress have totally changed over the years, whereas others have stayed the same it’s frightening. Quite interesting to think about.

Rereading this topic made me think of a book entitled Style Statement by Danielle LaPort and Carrie McCarthy. The premise is that you go through a series of questions and exercises about yourself that lead you to two words that describe you. The first word describes your essense and about 80% of your personality and appearance. The second is your creativity or creative edge and is the 20% of yourself that gives you joy and pushes you to be your best. You end up with phrases like Genuine Treasure, Dramatic Timeless, Elegant Comfort, etc.

The style statements are supposed to be applicable to everything from your job choice to your wardrobe style. I have worked through the book and still cannot figure out my statement! I know women who are very self aware who are able to come up their statement without even doing the exercises.

Has anyone seen this? Just off the top of your head...what would your style statement be?

I would say my style strives to say classic and tailored with a twist, the twist being something like a statement shoe, watch, scarf or the like.

Most people do comment on my shoes, Heaven had me in mind for high heels. I love them and wear them daily, all colors styles and heel designs.
They have never bothered my feet, back, ankles or knees, even at my rip old age.

I also wouldn't be able to tell what my signature style is. Not even a clue actually.. :) I have a denim item on me 80% of the times. Does that count for?

Taylor: We're the same shoe-wise. I hardly had a problem with high heels. I was wearing high-heels to everyone's surprise when I was 9 months pregnant.

LOP,

Me too, through both babies, on my feet doing hair...go figure. :) People are indeed amazed!

Like Shiny, I feel like I go through signature "phases" and easily become obsessed with a few items. Right now I'm in a cardigan/scarf phase, and I'm wearing lots of green because it's spring and so many people encourage me to wear the color.
Actually, my most consistent "signature element" is to have SOMETHING around my heck - be it a necklace, scarf, neck-tie detail, or ruffled collar. It's not something I'm conscious of when I get dressed, but if I don't have something around my neck I feel weird and empty.

I am known for often wearing bright colors, and I always have a funky barrette in my hair. My hair style changes quite often, so I suppose that's a signature thing, as well.

Hmm, as soon as something starts to feel like a signature item, I find myself quickly putting it away. i don't want anything about my style to become predictable, and I usually get bored easily anyway. As soon as I realized I had been wearing necklaces every day for the past several weeks, I started wearing earrings instead. Then I stopped wearing jewelry all together for a while. Same thing happened with headbands. I loved them initially and still do, but I try not to wear them all the time. I change everything about my look every day. I just don't feel refreshed if I'm doing any one thing repeatedly.

Wow, such an interesting thread! Maybe we should keep it on top forever?

My signature style is wrap anything (well, dresses and tops - never saw a wrap pair of slack :) ), and the color purple. Oh, and I wear dresses and skirts much more than all the other women around me. And mary-janes with 2'' heels.

Hmmm ... how does a style relate to having a "uniform"? Because I feel that I answered by describing my "dressing uniform" instead of describing my style. But of course people who are constantly pushing their fashion envelope have their personal style. So what fits into the "style" description?

HannahC - I agree that it is easier to think in terms of our personal "uniforms".

For the last year or so, my "thing" has been a statement jacket or simple top with statement necklace. Tended to stick with slacks as it was easier in my former job. Oh, and I was known for wearing a kitten heel.

I tended to wear a bright color, or something to say "I'm approachable" especially if I was also wearing a suit. When supervising a large number of people, I wanted a balance of authority/approachabilty. Hope that makes sense.

As I look for another job/career, I wonder what my style will evolve into? I am semi-looking for a less hands-on, physical role and that may allow me to wear the skirts I am hoarding (but rarely wore in decent rotation) and be less practical with my clothes.

The last few months, I have felt the lack of casual fashion sense. I can do dressed up, professional, smart casual, but not good at stay at home casual!

I think I go through phases as well. Although the fun shoes/jewelry/animal print is probably my signature look from reading comments from everyone on this site. I'm currently going through a bangle phase. Oh, the fun that is!! Wood, black, shell, silver, leather, colored wood or shell, the possiblities to mix & match are endless. I just have one caveat - I don't like clunky noisey one's. I can't wear them at work because they are too distracting so I tend to stay away from them.

Over the years I've went through pin & scarf phases as well. I mix one in here & there but that's about it for now anyway.

Sometimes I get on my skinny belt phase. That's kind of fun sometimes too. I haven't been on that one for awhile.

I'm like you Kari, I have to have something around my neck or I feel naked! Although I do love it when I see an outfit on someone with nothing on the neck but some simple cool earrings. I guess everyone pulls off things differently. :)

Oh gosh, years ago it was my gold necklace, gold hoops & diamond studs (2nd piercing) every single day! That phase lasted entirely TOO long!!
