I think labels such as these can be useful the same way those fruit or geometric shapes as body descriptors are useful—loose baskets to gather what might appeal to someone who fits the description. Not that whoever is making the collection has the final say, but to give the person wearing the clothes a head start in their search. You can go straight to the purist basket, skipping over all the ditzy prints &amp; bright colors in mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-fashion-labels#post-2282872 Sun, 25 Sep 2022 15:38:36 +0000 Irina 2282872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jenni NZ</b>, I would describe my style as minimal, yes. I prefer a minimal esthetic in decor, too. But I’m not a minimalist in lifestyle and rather large size of my wardrobe is the evidence of that :)<br />We all have natural leanings towards certain colors and styles. It might change through our life but I think it is important that those changes happen organically and not on an advice from a fashion editor.&nbsp;<div>I find suggestions on how to dress like minimalist or someone &nbsp;else, well, silly. You either one or not.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-fashion-labels#post-2282846 Sun, 25 Sep 2022 12:16:00 +0000 Janet 2282846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Jaime, I think curator would be most applicable to me out of the options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-fashion-labels#post-2282836 Sun, 25 Sep 2022 11:39:06 +0000 Olive Green 2282836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, guess I am a purist as Lemaire is one of my inspirations. Utility details, classic shapes. I get a few items from his Uniqlo collections most seasons. My shoes tend to the more practical and gear side than a Parisian.&nbsp;<br />Purist nomad aesthetic?&nbsp;<br />Ther you go, new appellation.&nbsp;<br />Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-fashion-labels#post-2282826 Sun, 25 Sep 2022 09:24:50 +0000 RoseandJoan 2282826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Apologies for another post and run, we are moving house on Wednesday so things are chaotic here to say the least. </p> <p>Jaime, I did think of you when I saw the word curator or Anagybe. To me it's about building an outfit around a hero piece.</p> <p>Lisa, yes purist fits with your current goals definitely.</p> <p>I don't know if RATE (rough around the edges) is still a term used on the forum, but there were a few members who toughened up their style and warrior would be a great fit for their style.</p> <p>I think I may fall somewhere between purist and romantic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-fashion-labels#post-2282810 Sun, 25 Sep 2022 02:05:12 +0000 Jaime 2282810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Will read the article, but just based on the words themselves curator popped out at me . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-fashion-labels#post-2282784 Sat, 24 Sep 2022 23:49:41 +0000 Anonymous 2282784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm- free spirited minimalist maybe? Or maybe just a continuing hot mess despite all my efforts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-fashion-labels#post-2282755 Sat, 24 Sep 2022 20:05:44 +0000 Jenni NZ 2282755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha Irina I thought of your closet too! When I said I will never be and don’t want to be a purist, I think that style looks perfect on you. Would you also describe yourself as a minimalist in clothing I wonder? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-fashion-labels#post-2282752 Sat, 24 Sep 2022 19:56:22 +0000 Irina 2282752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did they look in my closet to come up with their examples? LOL<br />Well, I don’t have some of items on their list but really want them.<br />I understand classifications when it comes to the common ones like minimalist, maximalist, boho, classic and so on or any combination of them. But the descriptions like purist are more personal and too loosely defined. I can’t identify with them. Fun names, though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-fashion-labels#post-2282749 Sat, 24 Sep 2022 19:40:45 +0000 Jenni NZ 2282749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My personal taste is so opposite to what they show in the article! Purist I will never be and don’t want to be.<br /> Perhaps a “romantic” would be closest for me, with maybe a side of free spirit.<br /> To me a curator might be nearer to a purist??<br /> I agree with LJP that those identities are inspiring Matches Fashion in their buying so we would have to know what they meant by them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-fashion-labels#post-2282723 Sat, 24 Sep 2022 16:35:24 +0000 rachylou 2282723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t think I understand what a fashion warrior would be, but I’m pretty sure I’m the free spirit… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-fashion-labels#post-2282703 Sat, 24 Sep 2022 15:21:39 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2282703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have a goal--I like what I like. Hard to change basic attraction in anything—food, dating, clothes, whatever. I can change how I express those likes, but at a gut level, they just *are*. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-fashion-labels#post-2282682 Sat, 24 Sep 2022 14:19:47 +0000 LJP 2282682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My interpretation of this article is that those 6 "identities" are what's currently inspiring Matches in their buying . &nbsp;I identify with the Purist right now - it's my current goal. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-fashion-labels#post-2282671 Sat, 24 Sep 2022 13:43:37 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2282671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, the purist isn't me, but like Dee, I'm curious about the other 5. </p> <p>I know people here think of me as a maximalist, but I think there is a minimalist side to me as well, in that I am not into make-up, jewelry, fancy hairstyle and I much prefer outfits that are easy to decode, not clever architecturalism or the like. My patterns tend to be very straightforward, such as a ditzy print or paisley, as opposed to something abstract that you slowly realize has an image in it or something--but I also veer away from patterns that hit you over the head "this is striped!!" "I'm plaid" etc. The cuts I prefer are also pretty streamlined and not maximalist; I don't want to be too revealing, but even the bell bottoms and midis I like have to be cut in a way that "extra" fabric isn't in the way.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm beginning to think "all-natural" is a good descriptor for my style. I don't see a descriptor in her list that sounds like mine maps onto it easily, but I don't really know, because I don't know enough about what she means with the others.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-fashion-labels#post-2282655 Sat, 24 Sep 2022 11:58:59 +0000 Dee 2282655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The article seemed primarily focused on the definition of the purist, so I'm not sure what they meant by the other labels, but I dont think I'd neatly fit into any one category.<br /> I'm influenced by a lot different styles, and my wardrobe has a little bit of everything. I like changing things up once in awhile and I dress for my moods, so I'm not sure what category that would be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-fashion-labels#post-2282652 Sat, 24 Sep 2022 11:41:22 +0000 kkards 2282652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmmm…what about the traditionalist? &nbsp;I feel like that would be more my label than any of these&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-fashion-labels#post-2282648 Sat, 24 Sep 2022 11:21:14 +0000 RoseandJoan 2282648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I came across this quote today</p> <p>"As we approach each season, we look to our six muses: the fashion pioneer, the warrior, the free spirit, the curator, the romantic and the purist," explains Natalie Kingham, a fashion consultant and the former buying director at MatchesFashion. </p> <p><a href="https://www.whowhatwear.co.uk/minimalist-fashion" rel="nofollow">https://www.whowhatwear.co.uk/minimalist-fashion</a></p> <p>Do you fit neatly into one of these categories? </p>
