I turned one of my work friends on to Fluevog shoes, but other than those she's a pretty classic dresser. In all honesty I think my style has most of my friends pretty flummoxed.

Let's see, my closest women friends are:

1. Classic a la Ann Taylor, Talbots, etc.
2. Casual MOTG (though I've never seen her dress for work, I'd guess she is fairly classic)
3. Doesn't care at all - neat, clean, serviceable but not at all into fashion
4. Very casual with elements of arty eclectic (tunics, scarves - she's traveled and lived all over the world, so lots of jewelry from her travels, etc.)

Two of my closest friends are men, and they're both very very casual:

1. Jeans, T-shirts or the occasional untucked button down, Converse. I think he has at least six pairs - orange, black, green, charcoal, and I think I'm missing a few. They're kind of his trademark.

2. Jeans, button downs, Converse or hiking boots

While none of my friends share my exact style, I could not accuse many of them of not having any. I don't think becoming friends with any of them had much to do with what they wear, though. Certainly not the very old friends -- the ones I've known since childhood, before any of us had any interest in clothes whatsoever -- or even the ones I've known since university, although clothing may have played a minor role there. (I've been told that even then, I was highly recognizable as the little Birkenstock-clad flower child who regularly came in late for first year calculus. One good friend from uni probably approached me in the first place because I looked like a hippie).

The friends I've collected as a grown woman have not been influenced much by style, because I think the older we get the more we judge people by what comes out of their mouths, and we talk to them in the first place because we're thrown together in circumstances where you need to interact, like at work or when minding small children. One of my best "mom" friends -- one I met through my kids, that is -- wears stuff that looks seriously terrible. I know that sort of thing's subjective, but honestly, she doesn't have a clue. But she's smart and funny and warm-hearted, and I love her. I couldn't care less what she wears.

My BFF is definitely a boho girl and the others that we all hang around with are pretty much gear or jeans/tee. I stick out like a sore thumb!

Nope, I am the dressiest out of my bunch and that's saying a lot because I wear jeans almost every single day. But I don't wear sweatshirts or heavily printed/jeweled tops and I tend to wear more basic colors than bright one's.

Good question! I have four close girlfriends and I would describe their style as follows:

1. Functional , streamlined and current - Modern Preppy

2. Retro/Alternative

3. Uniform of Crop pants and oversized tops - currently at home with 3 little ones

4. Modern Classic with a twist (my best friend)

And I have two friends in my new home town who love fashion and we do share this love.
one would be trendy classic and the other trendy.

My friends r pretty regulars...dress like any other person simply casual ...just one friend called LiLianna has a pretty damn taste in clothes and loves to shop like me the difference with her she loves sweet,sexy girly...and im a a bit edgy ,eccentric they used to call me chameleon cuz i ok with dressing from simple, sexy, edgy , boho, urban, country etc hahaha depends my bood i guess

I find this an excellent question! Are you an individualist or more social? I'm more social because I would say there is style commonality between me and my friends. Bay Area Native style has deep roots and a strong hold on its children. But we are all so different, it's impossible for us to look the same. Which is un-ironically part of the principles of Bay Area Native style.

My best female friends are mostly in jeans, tees and sneakers. Sometimes boots or ballet flats for a change. The 'student' look. Another one is heavy metal fan and dressed accordingly. One dresses very casual and sporty and another one is wearing what I would call 'alternative frump'. They are all not very interested in fashion and style and I mostly go shopping alone.

Interesting discussion here Una.
The style of my closest G.F. I would describe as somewhat BoHo.
The others as casual and comfortable.
As Anne said, I sometimes feel a little 'shallow', and try not to gush about fashion too much around them!

I have one friend who owns several things which I own but we put them together in totally different ways, she is a little anime, a little skater girl and well you know me.

My other friends are mostly;
a) Princess
b) Horse and Country
c) Barbour-ella
d) Plus sized fashionista.
