My signatures are: - Stripes - like others I’m always drawn to the striped version of something - Floral/Patterned Skirts - especially for work - Dresses - feel my most pulled together in dresses and when my sister asks what I’m wearing to something she always knows it’s a dress! - Navy - people often comment on how many navy outfits/items I wear/have. I even only wear navy nail polish on my toes!

I wasn’t even thinking about colors but it’s a great reminder! I can’t forget about being on team blue. Thank you Angie!

Right off the top, my cropped, curly hair is a signature. Long hair overwhelms my features and can be difficult to manage. Wide leg pants a la Katharine Hepburn is a signature look. Sophisticated and elegant. Bold color and pattern is another signature and a nod to my love for 1960s and 1970s style. Statement earrings: When you have a cropped hairstyle, statement earrings are a no-brainer. Colorful footwear: Black footwear has its place in my wardrobe, but I'll always choose colorful footwear first. Orange: Move over, Angie! I also adore orange and wear it year round. It's my happy color.

Thanks, Carla! Your signature descriptions are particularly spot on. Suz and Suntiger  too :)  The Fabbers that have posted their signatures here are bang on the money! WELL DONE! FWIW, I have some signatures to add to some people in case they forgot them.  Carla: A delightful mop of strawberry blonde curls. MsMary - thank goodness you remembered stripes. I'd add BIG skirts! Irina - Scandi style! Jaime - you forgot your signature large and awesome crossbodies!  Jaileen - your fabulous bird watching gear is signature :)  Sal - I see an honest sporty element as part of your signature style too.  Janet - the rock 'n roll element to your style is signature too.  Lisa - BLUE is signature to your style! Zaoebi - I'd add gorgeous cascading dark locks that frame the aviators.  Jenny - I see narrow pants as signature to you! kkards - jeans are signature to your style too. Helena - I'd add refined jewelry and long dark hair!

That is a major style signature imo. pirouette on "Your ‘signatures’?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-%e2%80%98signatures%e2%80%99#post-2378526 Thu, 16 Jan 2025 16:10:59 +0000 pirouette 2378526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am enjoying this thread. I don’t really analyse my style a lot but when I started thinking about this thread I realised most of my outfits revolve around a black jacket. I also always wear a black Apple Watch and never cut my hair short. I mainly wear silver jewellery but don’t wear jewellery everyday except wedding ring.  Cookie on "Your ‘signatures’?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-%e2%80%98signatures%e2%80%99#post-2378524 Thu, 16 Jan 2025 15:58:42 +0000 Cookie 2378524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ JAileen … my very energetic 84-year-old mother colors her hair and I do not. We have never looked particularly alike but people used to peg us as mother and daughter anyway, and now salespeople in shops or whatever increasingly refer to her as my “friend.” Really not sure how to feel about this! lol ChristelJ on "Your ‘signatures’?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-%e2%80%98signatures%e2%80%99#post-2378520 Thu, 16 Jan 2025 15:35:38 +0000 ChristelJ 2378520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Really enjoying these. Mine are: Jeans Patterned tops Large, puffy, ruffled or otherwise decorative sleeves Long hair Cardigans Neckaces JAileen on "Your ‘signatures’?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-%e2%80%98signatures%e2%80%99#post-2378519 Thu, 16 Jan 2025 15:21:20 +0000 JAileen 2378519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love this topic! For me: Grey hair - okay, it’s virtually white Grey clothing  Now that my hair is a little longer, it’s really obvious how white it is.  Several times when I’ve been visiting my mother at her retirement home, people have asked me if I’m new there.  I think it’s funny.   I used to wear grey almost exclusively.  And people noticed.  We were up in Churchill, Manitoba and I was looking at hoodies at the lodge, and other visitors were suggesting I get the one that wasn’t grey.  Guess what?  I got the grey one.  Since then, I’ve branched out.  My favorite colors to wear are grey, navy and olive.  I also have a fair amount of light pink.   Star (Lise) on "Your ‘signatures’?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-%e2%80%98signatures%e2%80%99#post-2378512 Thu, 16 Jan 2025 14:45:09 +0000 Star (Lise) 2378512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh yes definitely shoulder length or longer hair for me too.  I have only had very short hair once when I was 11.  I never got it over it ;).  I really did not feel like myself.

My signatures are: Denim jeans Earth tones Natural makeup Shoulder length or longer hair with bangs One or two pieces of jewellery from an artisan Suntiger on "Your ‘signatures’?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-%e2%80%98signatures%e2%80%99#post-2378506 Thu, 16 Jan 2025 13:54:35 +0000 Suntiger 2378506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Fun thread! Here's mine: Lots of black- especially tops. Worn with other deep colors Bare arms when possible Sandals- usually Birks Sunnies Gold or copper jewelry- often hoops or openwork (filigree). Bracelets and earrings, occasionally rings. Complex (usually Asian) patterns on the bottom (maxi skirts, harem pants)- pattern within pattern Wider leg full length trousers with heeled ankle boots for winter. Dark longer hair-sometimes with various wigs and extensions (less now that bio hair is past flip stage). My style is much more "signature" in warm weather! With the bitter cold we've been having all month and the snow that Still hasn't melted, I'm not feeling so fab :p RobinF on "Your ‘signatures’?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-%e2%80%98signatures%e2%80%99#post-2378505 Thu, 16 Jan 2025 13:37:06 +0000 RobinF 2378505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hmm, fun to think about. I would definitely have to add to the hair people - I am sure my short wavy bob is the first thing most noticed about me. I would also say mixed metal jewelry and shoes. I do love my shoes and have to have just the right ones for an outfit or I feel off. Olive Green on "Your ‘signatures’?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-%e2%80%98signatures%e2%80%99#post-2378499 Thu, 16 Jan 2025 13:03:51 +0000 Olive Green 2378499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Shout out to pixie people, been a feature since the age of 12. I live in a makeup heavy state, and do not wear any, threw out my last mascara and brow pencil last week. No longer needed on the journey.  The attention to Pam Anderson for it is giving me giggles.  Shoes, yes, are directional statements to my now very basic wardrobe. Must be flat or nearly, and I do so envy those ladies with way more interesting shoes and better ankles! Wardrobe basics have no pattern, mostly, notable only for the tonal or muted pallete that mixes warm gold with pink or brown, or green and pink. Shout out to colorist Brooklyn.  Carla, your puffer game has definitely influenced me. kkards on "Your ‘signatures’?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-%e2%80%98signatures%e2%80%99#post-2378490 Thu, 16 Jan 2025 11:57:16 +0000 kkards 2378490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Such a great question. And so enjoying reading everyone’s responses.  (And find myself nodding along with what everyone wrote)  I don’t think my answers will surprise anyone  signature color -navy, most of my outfits revolve around navy and/or darker blue jeans. signature category-shoes, this is the most “fun” part of my closet. It’s where I have the widest variety of silhouettes, textures and often they make my outfits  Sisi on "Your ‘signatures’?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-%e2%80%98signatures%e2%80%99#post-2378479 Thu, 16 Jan 2025 09:06:52 +0000 Sisi 2378479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What Jaime said about your signatures!  As Kate says I am not very analytic, but first thing that comes to my mind is the love and use of merry colors. Also, bright lipstick. And a bracelet - you will never catch me without a bracelet.  Jenni NZ on "Your ‘signatures’?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-%e2%80%98signatures%e2%80%99#post-2378472 Thu, 16 Jan 2025 06:17:29 +0000 Jenni NZ 2378472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gotta be shoes for the Sassy Shoemaker’s Elf! I get shoe compliments so often. Today at work wearing the Twinkle navy ballet flats I got a comment “Don’t dare to take those off your feet here or I will definitely be stealing them!” But her feet were too big :) Also I think my earrings are signature, I don’t go without them and have many colours. Kate on "Your ‘signatures’?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-%e2%80%98signatures%e2%80%99#post-2378470 Thu, 16 Jan 2025 05:52:51 +0000 Kate 2378470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Coming back to say how could I forget almost no prints! Zaeobi on "Your ‘signatures’?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-%e2%80%98signatures%e2%80%99#post-2378467 Thu, 16 Jan 2025 05:27:34 +0000 Zaeobi 2378467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ A fun question to ponder! I agree with your assessment, Carla - if I were to draw you as a cartoon, you'd be wearing converse and a red beret for sure! That said, I'm not really sure what my signature would be... Maybe my gold aviator sunglasses, since I wear them almost everyday here? Even in winter - it's especially useful to have prescription sunglasses when outdoors! Cookie on "Your ‘signatures’?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-%e2%80%98signatures%e2%80%99#post-2378466 Thu, 16 Jan 2025 05:24:38 +0000 Cookie 2378466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Full skirts, tall boots, arty necklaces, and (like Jaime) I suppose my hair, though that also feels like an odd thing to say since that is just how it is. (Years ago a younger guy I worked with remarked to the assembled crowd that I was known for my interesting skirts and necklaces, but for some reason he instead said “negligees” … I am still laughing about this!) Suz on "Your ‘signatures’?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-%e2%80%98signatures%e2%80%99#post-2378464 Thu, 16 Jan 2025 05:17:38 +0000 Suz 2378464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What Jaime said! Your signatures grow out of your needs and preferences and so they are entirely authentic. That's what makes them so fab!  At the moment, mine are:  <ul> <li>Silver pixie (can be a longer or shorter pixie but it's always a pixie of some kind. </li> <li>Silver jewellery, especially small but chunky earrings, and bracelets, and silver footwear. </li> <li>Chelsea boots. </li> <li>Limited palette of blues, whites, greys, reds, lilacs. </li> </ul> Like you, I enjoy sleeveless tops when weather permits and usually scrunch sleeves when wearing long sleeves. I also love to pop a collar and to wear a mock or turtleneck. This is both a short hair thing (I did not do this as much years ago, when I had longer hair) and a keeps me warm thing. LIke you, if the neckline is more open, I will crave a scarf in cool temps.  Stripes and tartan might also be considered signature to me -- and happy pattern mixing .  I love wide legs but am not sure they are signature to my style, exactly, because I like other shapes of pant and trouser, too, and alternate happily. I also love crops, but like full length pants too. So probablyl not signature.
