Agree that work etc requires us to adapt our looks - showing extremes of styles helps me to visualise the differences though. @DonnaF I can see what you mean about 'Prince' Vs 'Urban' - your style is as cool as you are, agree with @Jenni not to grow up! I know that not every aspect of a style descriptor will appeal, but that's when I like to use it more like a checklist instead (e.g. if I can identify with 4/5 bullet points under the Casual descriptor, I could probably say my style is Casual even if I do not fulfill the 'colour' bullet point there). @Stag Yeah I guess some descriptors are subject to cultural interpretation? Luckily there's no hard & fast rule that you can't use some of these descriptors but replace the others with style words that make more sense to you @quinta That makes sense - luckily everyone can wear every colour, just a version of it that works for them e.g. I look washed out in pastel lilac & neon purple, but I love a good aubergine/ plum purple on myself!

They’re OTT for me & as the saying goes, they wear me instead of me wearing them. I still love lots of color, though, just toned down a bit. No pastels; they make look ill. I wear a lot of olive green, some rust, teal, etc. My coloring is soft, but not light.

But that's true of everyone, right? I used to describe my style as Fun, Artsy Urban Prince. But not Artsy as she describes. So maybe Fun Urban Prince?  The colorful part in a number of her descriptions don't fit me; I would rather use texture. Or the *fun* part of my moniker refers to the times I wear color plus I don't like to take what I wear too seriously unless I have to, like for work. Urban means I wear a lot of gray and black, the better to hide the grime. Prince I guess means her androgynous. I can't go too masculine because at 5' 1" it looks a bit silly. But my feet demand combat boots and oxfords for comfort. Note that I have two pairs of green oxfords (one pair sparkly and the other regular green) and a green pair of combat boots. And super sparkly combat boots. Say. . .she didn't list MAGPIE as a style!!! Someday I will grow up. Maybe when I'm 80? 70 is too soon.

I thought I would be the same way, but certain aspects of my integral style have not changed despite my moves (e.g. I still like bold colours rather than pastels, unlike many of the locals).

I am wearing bolder prints now, but in the earthy colors that I remember wearing in the ‘70s. I prefer wide legged & bootcut pants. I’m wearing chunkier shoes now due to back, knee & foot problems so my outfits have to work with them. chewyspaghetti on "Helpful List of 53 Style Types" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-list-of-53-style-types/page/2#post-2255128 Wed, 16 Mar 2022 14:14:30 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2255128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Right now, I am probably Boho Casual Eclectic. I'm about to transition into a new role for work (if all goes well), which will require a more business casual wardrobe. My aspirational style that I would like to move toward is Arty Minimal Business Casual, at least for work. I'm seeing this as natural fibers and an earthy color palette with pops of black, simple silhouettes with interesting details and bold jewelery.

I feel you with the Glamorous description - I have exactly one pair of heels, which I hold onto 'just in case' As for Elegant, I would dress in *just* silk pieces in saturated colours & classically fitted silhouettes if my lifestyle allowed for it! Too bad my current reality requires machine washing, line drying & no dry cleaning Bijou on "Helpful List of 53 Style Types" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-list-of-53-style-types/page/2#post-2254627 Fri, 11 Mar 2022 13:41:09 +0000 Bijou 2254627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I read the list yesterday and decided to see what I remembered as being most relevant: Glamorous - I am always a bit overdressed and love luxe fabrics and designs. As much as I like looking after my feet, I will always have some heels in my wardrobe. Elegant - I like well fitted clothing in beautiful fabrics Fun - I enjoy wearing colour and certain playful details.

You're right that juxtaposition can be a rule in & of itself - that's also what I meant by emphasising the 'intentionality' part of what the author said The point about colours is interesting - it's part of why I feel I still fulfill the Traditional descriptor on the list (albeit with a modern twist). Bright colours, draped scarves, (relative) modesty, floaty fabrics, gold jewellery... But with flat shoes & other modern details. They're all a way for me to honour my heritage & how I feel comfortable dressing, even in 'western' clothes (my style of dressing may not look particularly 'western' to Westerners, but South Asian clothing websites often have a category for 'Western gowns' - which tend to look similar to what I'm describing). @BlueJay & @CardiffGirl I agree with @SF - try breaking it down the bullet points for the 53 descriptors into sub-checklists first. I'm in the process of doing so & some clear trends are cropping up - I score 0 in overly casual categories like Hipster & Skater, but do still score some 'points' (albeit very few) in somewhat 'edgy' categories like Goth. Hm... @Nomad Being analytical is good - that's why I like the bullet points within these descriptors, because they help you to pinpoint your influences! I can identify with a lot of what you wrote, but I personally draw the line at military jackets - I don't have a sharp enough face to wear such details up top, but enjoy a good cargo pant & combat boots down below! I like your shorthand of 'Military Goth' - my first thought goes to an MCR (My Chemical Romance) sort of vibe. Is that similar to what you mean, or off the mark entirely? Nomad on "Helpful List of 53 Style Types" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-list-of-53-style-types/page/2#post-2254580 Thu, 10 Mar 2022 22:32:58 +0000 Nomad 2254580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So fun to see everyone's combinations! I *think* I'm an elegant minimalist military rocker, with a dose of goth. And to be overly analytical: <ul> <li>Elegant = Good fit and appealing lines are critical, regardless of whether I'm wearing a dress or jeans.</li> <li>Minimalist = Clean lines again, usually few or no accessories and subtle details.</li> <li>Military = Love a good boot, utility/cargo pants, military jacket.</li> <li>Rocker = When I worked with a stylist a few years back, I came out 100% rocker in their (much more limited) style quiz. My fast fallback outfit is combat boots, jeans, tee, and a leather or military jacket, usually with a fair dose of black and gray. Hm... maybe rocker is just my shorthand for a blend of military+goth?</li> </ul> Stagiaire Fash on "Helpful List of 53 Style Types" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-list-of-53-style-types/page/2#post-2254578 Thu, 10 Mar 2022 21:42:25 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2254578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don’t have energy to argue with people on here, especially after being told how I should feel about my friend’s death and rejecting the kind of bag I plan to pack. . So I will make this simple: juxtaposition can also be a rule. Think about color combos. For most people in the US, colors that naturally go together are complimentary. For examples, see just about any sports team. Colors that are close to each other on the color wheel are a nono to wear together. For people in India and Pakistan, it’s the opposite; pinks and reds and oranges are mixed together all the time. If anything, going across the color wheel is the “unruly” thing. They are both rules, even though they contradict each other. A rule that you don’t follow yourself is not the same as “no rules”. And, as I said before, I really don’t think my “juxtapositions” are transgressive anyway—think they harken to the rules perhaps extra tightly. See the belt pix on Sal’s post for examples. But please don’t fight me. Blue Jay, did you try using the lists in each category as a checklist? I can never come up with these things out of the air, but when I went through one-by-one, I was surprised at the results, partially because they aren’t how I think of myself, but even more because there were just a small handful of them (unless you add in all the ones that say I dress like a plate of spaghetti thrown at the wall). If you do it that way, you might be surprised too.

That's great you've had such an active lifestyle though - all your descriptors make sense for it! Yes, I'm not sure when exactly the article was written but the Sporty descriptor feels a little dated, more practical than 'fun' - perhaps it needs to be combined with Street for something more athleisure inspired? You're bang on the money when it comes to cultural connotations too - that's why I asked @Aurore if the French descriptor sounds accurate to someone who is actually French (I see the term 'French' style thrown around a lot on fashion blogs, but very rarely by an actually French author, lol...) @TheCat No rush - I'm still working on my results, lol! @Helena Even though I haven't decided for myself yet, skimming the list has definitely shown me the aspects I *don't* identify with (trying to imagine myself as a Hipster or Skater, lol...) so it can help that way too. The descriptors you chose work well for you - I suspect that's why I couldn't tempt you with the pink resort dress in the end, lol Zaeobi on "Helpful List of 53 Style Types" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-list-of-53-style-types/page/2#post-2254551 Thu, 10 Mar 2022 15:37:41 +0000 Zaeobi 2254551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ @Jenni Ooh I like the fringing on that top! I see what you mean now - here's hoping you get to attend another 1920s event soon @SF Yeah I think some of the terms are confusing because they can carry multiple connotations or are sometimes used interchangeably (textures/ fabrics/ fibres?) - like @StaysFit says, much of it is culturally imbued too. Oh no, that's not what I meant at all - sorry to give you a snarky impression! I actually interpreted the 'anything goes' & 'no rules' here to be slightly tongue-in-cheek, since of course everyone dresses with *some* rules (unless you literally get dressed in the dark every day just to avoid indecent exposure - but somehow I don't think that applies to the majority of YLF lol). It's just that those 'rules' may either be innate or not as obvious to others (perhaps at first glance) - such as wearing brights but not neons (same applies to me). Wearing things in unexpected ways = juxtaposition, as you (& YLF) calls it. I *think* that's what the article was trying to get at when it mentions 'intentionality' - wearing a dress with combat boots might *look* as if 'anything goes' to some observers, since it's mixing masculine & feminine styles, but those 'rules' are being broken *intentionally* to communicate something in particular about the person wearing the combination. And I feel that's what you do with the choices that you make in your clothing, too. Does that make sense? As for the 'nothing to wear' conundrum, I suspect the reasons may vary as everyone shops differently - if you're someone who buys a new dress for each social event because nothing you have before is appropriate, I can see how that would easily become a cycle where you amass lots of dresses but none of them are 'quite' right because you either settled (due to time constraints) or didn't think ahead (to what sort of accessories need to be worn with the dress, & whether you already have them or need to buy them, etc...) For others, their tastes or circumstances may change over time too - maybe they bought a bunch of workwear trousers at the height of their financial career, but then bought lots of fun tops when they switched to something more creative. And now they're retiring, they're finding it difficult to meld the two into a cohesive style (in this example, feeling like they have 'nothing' to wear = nothing that reflects who they are or their current lifestyle needs). Ok I'm just rambling now lol....

When I’m not in beach mode, my favorite hat is a baseball style cap/visor and I enjoy sneakers, however, I decided that was covered by “fun” instead of sporty. <div> </div><div>It’s interesting how much overlap there is among these descriptions and also how similar some of these descriptions are….geek chic vs. business casual; garconne and androgynous, minimalist and French chic, girl next door and basic, etc.  Choosing style terminology likely includes cachet and reflects culture and regional bias for many of us.  </div> Stagiaire Fash on "Helpful List of 53 Style Types" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-list-of-53-style-types/page/2#post-2254537 Thu, 10 Mar 2022 10:30:55 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2254537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Edgy, funky, or kooky, eh? I think a lot of people would put those labels on me. I looked at the definitions a little more closely. Here’s what I thought. Being edgy is all about making up your own rules Dark colours Variety of fabrics Rips & alterations Similar to: rocker, grunge, punk, biker I’m not so sure I make my own rules, think the “defiant” part is from following one part more closely than others, iykwim. But I do like a variety of textures (not sure if that’s what she means by fabrics; elsewhere she refers to fibers). Funky Anything goes - there are no rules with funky The brighter and bolder, the better Similar to: eclectic, artsy, kooky Same w regard to rules. I wear bright colors, but not neons or most of the brights that Angie wears. There are def limits on boldness, particularly with pattern size/color blocking, which I shy away from. Anything goes in a kooky wardrobe Intentionally pairing unusual colour, pattern, fabric and shape combos Similar to: artsy, funky, eclectic anything goes? You don’t mean that as an insult—I know you, and you wouldn’t do that—but there are all sorts of looks & combos I wouldn’t put on I think I just like to juxtapose the elements I mentioned earlier. I had a look around the rest of her site, and got some insight into the popularity of capsule wardrobes. They are usually touted as a way to have everything work together and it being easy to pull out outfits. None of that explains to me why there needs to be a small number of items. But that blogger really hammered on putting on lots of stuff while trying to decide what to wear, which I associate with YLF (I’ve heard people joke about it before, never did it until I was here). She also assumes very strongly that having a lot of things means most of it doesn’t go together. That explain the “full closet/nothing to wear” thing people here talk about. That’s possible, but certainly not a foregone conclusion. I mean, if the same person is selecting things based on what they like/are comfortable in (chasing trends/always wanting the latest is a different matter), how is it possible that things wouldn’t work together? It’s easiest to see this in terms of color. I posted pix earlier this year of family member’s closets and described how easy it was for me to put together an outfit of my mom and sister’s things. Replies were along the lines of “well, yeah, families have similar coloring”. So if that’s common, then why would someone like me decide to dress in pumpkin spice or whatever? That’s rhetorical—no needs to answer. I’m just happy to have gotten a clue about that assumption that “a lot”=“many different styles”. Click!

Don't worry about any 'mismatched' descriptors - they make your style yours! I'd lean into that personalised juxtaposition @SF Maybe the 'rule breaking' of the Edgy & Funky descriptors encapsulate what you're looking for re: wearing items differently to their original intention? Or even just the 'anything goes' in the Kooky descriptor? But I agree with @Sisi, @Joy & @Sharan that a lot of the descriptors overlap in some ways, that can be a little confusing - I'm still trying to figure out the boldness of Eclectic vs Artsy/ Kooky/ Fun/ Funky. I suspect my own 'mismatched' elements tend to come from the tension of trying to staying comfily modest & somewhat polished when wearing colourful brights & natural fibres... @Brooklyn I suppose Victorian details are incorporated into the Gothic descriptor? I never thought of myself as Goth, but perhaps my formal wardrobe needs to have a word with its 'dark/ moody colours' & 'velvet/ satin' criteria, lol...

Her definition of boho doesn’t sound like me. According to her definitions I go for elegant, eclectic, comfy, and feminine vintage styles. Combining elegant/feminine and comfy already sounds eclectic, lol. One thing I think this list is missing is a point Synne made on her belts post: I might wear things that are traditionally sweet on their own, but the way I [seek to] combine them has a bite that isn’t accounted for here. from the 20s list: Pleated skirts Bead, rhinestone and fringe embellishments Less elaborate jewelry From the 30s: Bias cut dresses Mid calf hem lines Mary Jane or t-strap shoes The 40s: Seamed stockings High waist trousers Bright and colourful 60s: Bright patterns, psychedelic swirls & tie dye Turtlenecks Mini skirts 70s: Bell bottom jeans Jumpsuits, midi skirts Comfy Shoes you can walk in all daaaay “Picking eclectic as one of your keywords is a great way to give yourself permission to fully inject your personality in to your wardrobe” Ha! That might be an excuse to stop right there Elegant: Fit & good quality fabrics are a must. Feminine is not a word I’d use to describe myself but I wear Floral prints & brights My old stuff is apparently vintage, even though it’s not second hand. I agree with la ped that Garconne implies French and more androgyny and sophistication than tomboy. I think it’s also less playful/RATE. That’s why it doesn’t suit me. I prefer not to come across as sophisticated. People who buy that—in terms of clothing or otherwise, such as discussing feelings without the overlay— reveal themselves to be surface-level, not doing the research, do I know not to be too concerned about their opinions.
