What is a style personality
Not to be mistaken with a personality style, your style personality reflects your natural preferences, lifestyle and emotional energy. Who you really are at your core, your expression and your feeling, not static rules.
My personality for example is calm and no fuss, which leads me towards casual effortless, neutral style with a bit of structure. That’s how I like my everyday life to be, that’s what I gravitate towards.
If we take our style archetype, which can be described as an organized framework, a pattern that helps you categorize your overall aesthetic and your style personality which is how you express yourself, we get a complete picture of not just how we look, but how we want to feel in what we wear.
Therefore you will have direction when it comes to what clothes to shop for!
For example, my style archetype is Natural and Elegant Chic while my style personality is Classic and Natural meaning I want to feel effortless in polished clothing.
