Style Adjectives - YouLookFab Forum

I came up with Relaxed Polish for a style moniker and now I’m thinking about key adjectives. Here’s what I have so far (which may change as I think about this more):

Practical – This doesn’t mean wearing shoes that I can walk 3 miles in every day. It means wearing the appropriate clothing for the situation. Sneakers for soccer games, heels for work, boots for cold weather, etc.

Modern – I like to stay current and play around with some of the current trends.

Feminine – I’m not comfortable in any clothing or shoes that are too masculine. This doesn’t mean girly or cute though.

Playful – I’m using this to bring in the pattern and bling element of my outfits. I generally don’t like to wear solid blocks of color so I need some pattern or bling to break things up. Almost all my outfits involve jewelry of some sort and I feel incomplete without at least one piece – usually a necklace but also bracelets, earrings, and rings.

Sleek – This goes along with Polish but also works to keep me away from ruffles and anything too cute.

What do you all think? I found the comments on my previous post on Style Monikers to be extremely helpful and insightful.

Yes I agree! I think you've captured your style really well! Can't think how you'd improve on them!

You nailed it. Nicely done.

I'm finding these exercises very enlightening...they're helping me see things in a different way...

for example, my 1st thought was that sleek and playful don't "go" together...but reading thru the rest of your adjectives' and thinking about some of your WIW posts, I see what you are getting at...

Good stuff! I’m also wary of girliness. I seek to be frilly only in mind...

I don't know you style well enough yet to comment on the appropriateness your words but just wanted to say I like your definition of practical.

The only word I would question is "playful". I understand you want something to bring in your use of pattern or jewellery, but I don't really see that as playful. Nor do I think of your style as what _I_ think of as playful. Does that make any sense? But really, it doesn't matter what I think, it's whether the words work for YOU!

Interesting, because I put practical in mine too! I also put fun, because I include silly pins, dog and bird scarves, etc. If playful is supposed to refer to your jewelry, what about accessorized? It seems closer to me, but as Elizabeth said, it is what makes sense to you.

I admit that playful might not be quite the right word. I couldn't think of anything better. I didn't want a separate word for accessories and pattern since I tend to use them in the same way in my outfits. If I wear a polka dot shirt (pattern) I don't add a necklace because I think that clashes. A black dress with a statement necklace is fine, even though there is no pattern in the outfit.
