I'm morbidly obese, and altho I've never been one to go the super casual jeans + t- shirt route, I do wish I could wear them occasinally. But they look awful. Fat women are forced to be hyper feminine.
@@whoareyoutoaccuseme have you looked for brands that specifically make plus sized clothing to your measurements? Rather than just larger clothes of the straight sized range. The proportions are always off! Like when designers seem to think all larger women also have big boobs!
So many of these that I connect to! My favorite is Avantgarde, but that is a style that is not easy to achieve in everyday life. so I think most of the time I end up dressing eclectic/contemporary and then sometimes my avantgarde heart comes out when I go out. Sprinkles of androgynous, boho, goth and streetwear are also coming to play for me. overall so many contrasting things that I like, I am very much a mood-dresser that loves very feminine colours and items but will always prefer a suit over a dress for occasions. so I would say eclectic probably describes this wild combo best...
I think it’s easier to have a basic style framework, i.e. classic, preppy, elegant, edgy, romantic or any of the other basic styles you mention) rather than being all over the place with different styles. I went for a more classic, simple style after 20 years of, mostly, California boho (contemporaneous with a three-size weight loss, I wouldn’t just throw out all my clothes for a style change), and it’s so much less complicated to shop and put outfits together.
I've been trying so hard to curate my wardrobe. But as a former fashion stylist, I can't wear the styles I prefer which express me, since I'm now morbidly obese (due to severe injury/disability later in life which means I can't walk or be active). I prefer a vintage gothic and Neo-Victorian style, like black 1940s thru 1970s dresses and boots. I can't fit into any of that now. So I'm forced to spend way too much time, constantly hunting for clothing I actually "like" or "don't mind", rather than "love" since it's nearly impossible to find anything in my size I'd wear. I now wear lots of midi & maxi skirts with a ruffled blouse and a blazer over, or a long black floaty dress. Its a bit too business and matronly but I don't know what else to do. I can only wear 1 pair of ugly ortho boots so that messes up my aesthetic.
my style is classy - vintage and eclectic. i pull from a bunch of different styles.I used to really like gothic and punk, but as i got older I realized what i really liked was the utilization of black and jewel tones. you don't see that much in mainstream fashion at the mall.
Don’t forget LagenLook: very popular with the older sort Also the whole Witchy Stevie Nicks Goddesses. Lots of shawls, jewellery… (think possibly Eskandar, my WHY is this out of reach financially!?!) or the ScandiLook that can go either multicoloured or natural fibre & dyes… (think Gudrun or Oska)
I have so many of these in my wardrobe! Minimalist, classic, casual, androgynous, tomboy, sporty, street wear. OH MY! Looks like I need to tame my personal style 😅 it’s so hard I appreciate all of these!
No you don't, I'll get into all that more with the Personal Style series. I'm the same, I pull from so many of these and think that's fine. Just have to learn how to balance, which I'll get into more.
I bought an eclectic dress in black that I loved, but I was with the minimalist mindset, I did not have anywhere to go to with this dress and I gave it away. I am still missing the dress😢. Next time I will take a picture.
Definitely feel as though some of these categories could be combined, for instance, sporty/casual, and preppy can fit into a more casual classic styling. Looking at the photo examples, some look quite alike!
I like mid jean skirts and bold color comic t shirts for example I own a GTO anime shirt and a old dc comics Hitman Tommy Monaghan print shirt. Sometimes i wear long baggy cargo pants or faded dark blue denim jeans. I wear chucks or my of beat up old skool vans on the daily, I have a pair of adidas originals turtle shells that is worn out and it's my favorite pair of shoes, a pair of combat style boots, If I want to go athletic I wear puma running or basketball shoes, and I occasionally wear off brand stylish shoes and like to leave my mid length white socks rolled up when I wear shorts or jean skirts. I just like old gritty stuff well not exactly gritty but things that are dark and worn and just looks like it's been through some stuff and I match it with bold comic style color clothing. I been told that I have a grunch styke aesthetic but I don't consider my style grunge bcus the people who consider their style grunge don't look like me when I dress.
Romantic? Rock ‘n roll? Hippie Chic/Gypset? Exoctic? Bombshell. I think you missed a few style profiles. I also found some of yours to be a bit redundant, especially when it came to classic and streetwear. Myself, I feel like I’m rather Garçonne (French tomboy) by day and more Hippie Chic/ Global inspired for evening or more formal occasions.
I'm definitely classic, but I have bits of minimalist, tomboy, eurochic, and even archetectural mixed in. Comfort is way up on my list of must haves, I refuse to wear uncomfortable clothes. Practicality is also a must have, pockets, coats with hoods, etc. I want to wear my clothes, not have my clothes wear me. When people see me I don't want them to think "OMG look at that dress!" I want them to look at my face, not my clothes. I really don't like the way a lot of womens clothes are cut, I don't like the emphasis on breasts and hips and derriere. I am not my breasts, hips, and derriere, it's that simple. So I have some actual mens clothes in my wardrobe, especially mens button up shirts and a couple jackets. Thanks for a great video. 😊
I have always had a grunge/boho look, I'd love to see a video on translating that look into your 40s. I think it's evolved into a kind of 40 something relaxed rock chic vibe for me but it's confusing now that all the kids are wearing flowery skirts and Dr. Martens 😅
First of all I want to say I love your videos! However, lots of time I get the feeling you're looking at the view finder of your camera during your videos and not the lense of the camera... is it just me... 🤷🏻♀️
All these styles looks fancy to me😅 I work in a kindergarten and find it hard to figure out how I can look put together, and at the same time not be bothered about bodyfluids or other smudgy stuff getting on my clothers. Then again, one of the benefits is that there’s no expectation for me to look good or “adult”. I find I tend to wear oversize dresses most of the time, because it’s the easiest to throw on and it also hides my bodyshape.
Great idea. Wish you looked at more photos and explained what made the outfit the style you said it was. Also, you never looked at your audience once. 😉😉😉😅. I think you’re watching yourself on the camera and not the lens so it looks like you’re talking to someone beside me...not me. 😂. Distracting, which I don’t think you want. 😉
Your style personality can depend on the setting as well. For work it’s one style, home one and out about can be multiple. As someone who is 62 it’s hard to find style inspiration for my age most styles tend towards sweet or over the top. I do take style inspiration from Emanuel Alt mixed with Caroline Bissette Kennedy with a dose of Lauren Bacall.
Please do a second in the series. You just showed up in my search results. I'm so glad I found your work. Very well thought out and presented well. I would like to suggest more variety in sizes, age and body types in your examples. Overall a very good place to start with my research. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!
I have had a much more eclectic style. I love vintage clothing, bohemian, a bit minimal as far as colors go, and a bit of classic. I was always feeling overwhelmed by how much clothing I had and constantly felt like I had nothing to wear. I read through The Curated Closet by Anuschka Rees and it's helped me to pin point what I like. I would say that my style is still a bit eclectic but I would say it's a lot more focused now after reading the book.
My style depends on what I am doing that day. I do like to look cool, put together & comfortable no matter what. I love my lace up ankle boots & white sneakers with just about everything. I have to wear flat shoes with orthotics as I have MS. Vintage clothes are my jam.Layers are a must due to the climate I live in.
@@EmilyWheatley No worries. I knew you would want to know. You are very articulate and appear to choose you words well. I was wishing there was a way I could let you know privately so as not to "embarrass you! You also talked about what I think was intended to be "parameters" earlier in this video and used the word "perimeters" instead. Something I've done as well, which is why I caught it. You do an excellent job with your videos and I appreciate the smart way you approach fashion.
Have you read The Book of Looks by Lorraine Johnson? It illustrates 45 distinct and foundational styles that all fashion trends have borrowed from or built upon through the years. I still have my very tattered and much loved copy of this book from 1983 and love thumbing through it whenever I see a new trend to figure out which root style or combination was used to create it. Highly recommend the paperback version if you can locate a copy of it, but would avoid the earlier hardcover edition since there were printing issues with the pictures in some of them.
I don't understand why you only have 18k subscribers. In my opinion, you should have millions! Your channel is my new BFF...LOL. I am a 49-year-old mom of boys and trying to obtain a casual-chic, with a touch of sophisticated-retro, for year-round hot Miami weather. Its hard for me because I am pear-shaped (tiny on top and wider hips and thighs) and shy about my knees. LOVE midi length dresses and wide leg pants!
I'm a sophisticated, classic bohemian. Does that make sense? I like different styles for different occasions. At my most basic, yup, jeans and a top. I always prefer a feminine aesthetic.
Mine is: I see something I like and say its "my style" and then see another thing that looks completely differently and respond the same. Srsly though, I dont know when Im going to find a style that resonates with me. I like girly girl but also punk, but wouldnt like to be too in-between if at all. Sadge
Regarding number 8. It’s androgynous, not adrogynous. It is from the Greek word for man - andros. I am also a bit surprised that you haven’t included Romantic as a style category.
I’m always trying to restrain my maximalist tendencies, I just want new clothes and accessories all the time! Setting a budget and having Do and Don’t Buy lists helps, as does saving for the real thing, i.e., a quality pair of leather boots, not three cheap fake pairs.
If money and practicality would not matter, I would definitely go for avant-garde. But with being overweight, having to use public transportation, and, you know, just regular life happening, I guess I try to do a very creative version of contemporary - mostly expressed in tops and jewelry, like blazers and taking inspiration from Iris Apfel and Tzipporah Salomon. A black dress in either a classic cut or asymmetric goes a long way as a blank canvas, and is also great to mix in some more classic elements when desired.
Yes I agree with you Kat! I love avant-garde pieces but just most of the time way more pricey and not as practical. Love your style vibe though, still sound creative and fashion forward. Thanks so much for sharing your style with us!
I really thought there were some good parts to this video but I noticed you use “clean” in so many of these style types. It got a bit old hearing “clean” constantly - does that mean the other styles are dirty? Apart from that I thought this was an interesting video!
I thought I'm more towards minimalist.. But now I know that when I go to work my style is actually categorised as sophisticated and when I go out, my style is more towards grunge style or sometimes just casual
This video was so helpful: I’d love a video abt styling edgy and chic for apple shaped bodies. I feel like my options are mostly dresses but I’d love to edge that up.
My sister is an apple and I always tell her high waisted bottoms are the best option. She got a pair of AGOLDE Riley jeans the other day and they look great because they add volume to her smaller hips. Then she paired with some black drapery tees and tanks with a relaxed tuck in waistline of jeans.
Cool blog I just discovered. I would have loved to have seen more examples though. Adore Julie Sarinana's style. Curious to know what style/s you would classify this as.
OMG get it right. When you said it I knew I am eclectic. I basically won’t put myself in a box and wear anything that I like regardless of what fashion type it is depending on each outfit
My style is classic with a touch of tomboy and casual and - particularly in the summer - a bit of boho. I love a boho top with jeans and flowy skirts in the summer. Great video!
Love your style and personality...came across your videos when looking for a review of the Nike AF1 Crater and love your work! This lip color looks great on you!
@@EmilyWheatley Thank you for the very helpful video! This was far more helpful than videos with 10x the views. Hope your views rise according to the quality!
Depending on the day, I'm sophisticated/glam/old-money/40s Film-noir classic but can also be very 80s-Dallas/90s-SATC dramatic/eccentric/bold androgenous/edgy-futuristic.
Great video! Video suggestion: brands that embody each of these style aesthethics, say Chanel with their classic vibe, Rick Owens and his avant-garde narrative or Ralph Lauren with the preppy air and so on...
i like boho witchy skirts (think amy lee evanescence meets 90s whimsical textures) with grungey pieces or a classic top and cool jacket and necklace .if printed skirt a band tee is my go to
How about "Athleisure?" I think I am Athleisure/Casual. At 65, I really can't get into the 'distressed clothing' look at all. No unhemmed jeans, or unfinished seams/edges. I KNOW it's my age (so don't come for me!! I am an old lady!) I am hoping for it to pass away soon. Being rather thick through the waist, I do have to watch what I wear. I like fitted athletic tops, but they are not always a good choice for me! I do love a nice blazer with a T shirt/blouse and jeans. One of my favorite looks.
me: minimal/androgynous/tomboy/casual/sporty. YAWN. I need to incorporate some of my secondary tendencies - goth, boho, retro, grunge.....to add some fun and wake my yawn up.
I’m not sure what my style is as the last 30 years I lived in scrubs as an ER RN but now I’m retired. I don’t feel as if I’ve landed in one camp or the other ones. On my days off I was hiking relaxing road trips. So at 69 I want to explore styles like dress up when we were kids! Like ur videos.
1.Where is the article that u said u will drop in description box? 2. Shoulder :39 Bust:37 Waist:31 Hips:37.5 I have a rectangle or hourglass shaped body?
Emily where would dark academia fall at? I am a dark winter, I like the preppy styles like pleated pants, jeans, and the80's type of preppy I love the big over sized preppy glasses of the 80's that make you look smart. But I also love denim, velvet and leather. I loved the harem pants that had pleats in the front and tied at the ankles. I wore this with high heels and a v neck sweater. Or preppy shoes. I also like the look of dark academia. With the big preppy looking glasses, plaid skirts, and boots I love boots. So where do I fall in at? Because I'm not working right now I'm usually in sweats and a t shirt but when I go out to run errands I pull my long hair into a pony tail, and I'm either wearing tennis shoes like new balance burgundy tennis shoes and a dark gray tee with either linen shorts, pants or sweat shorts. How do I fit this together to get the look that I'm comfortable with and look great in. I want to be a little more sexy or sensual with out showing alot if skin.
Sophisticated for sure. I dress up everyday. Always put together. Some days a Preppy twist With Lilly Pulitzer or J Crew. No Jeans or T shirts. Vintage Ralph Lauren British Style. Tweed, Wool, Plaid...which is hard because I live in Florida. I get so tired of hearing people ask why I'm dressed up :-) Dressed up to me is a Ball gown !!!
I basically dress in form fitting sexy basic but loud like tight sparkly dress or just any form fitting sexy item that looks nice on my body does that just make me sleezy style :sexy an easy 😂 not me the outfit 😂 they think I am 🙄 if I’m showing off the goods I must be easy … also me basically celibate😂
I guess I’m eclectic because I love going all out with lots of layers although I rarely wear prints. I’m an art teacher and love to play with style and love architectural elements in clothing. Sometimes I’ll wear all black but pair it with a great accessory or shoe like a red patent boot, textured tights and a cool necklace. I love wearing two dresses or a skirt under a dress. I would never do preppy or too classic. Love your style. It suits you!!! Xoxo
There is a style I seldom see mentioned called creative style. I could never find anything similar to my style until I heard of this. This may also be your style.💕
I have a friend who dresses this way also. She loves layers, texture and volume, but avoids anything classic, trendy, preppy and Boho. She is a huge fan of Japanese and Korean designers. I always thought it was eclectic meets avant garde, with a nod to arts & grafts (big statement jewellery).
I prefer to describe my style as "jeans and a tshirt"
Love it! I can definitely relate, jeans and tshirt gal all the way! Thanks Caitlin!
Mine is called what is going on

I'm morbidly obese, and altho I've never been one to go the super casual jeans + t- shirt route, I do wish I could wear them occasinally. But they look awful. Fat women are forced to be hyper feminine.

Maybe it's being a gemini butI do about 10 out of the seventeen. Maybe after style mood I can learn more. I love style I just need to rain it in.
I didn’t realise there were so many basic styles I love lots of them but usually end up classic slightly boyish.

My style 2 words .chikai nanami
In the Visual Therapy guide, they identify Chic as a style type. Would you categorize this as Sophisticate or Contemporary?
Great idea. Wish you looked at more photos and explained what made the outfit the style you said it was. Also, you never looked at your audience once. 😉😉😉😅. I think you’re watching yourself on the camera and not the lens so it looks like you’re talking to someone beside me...not me. 😂. Distracting, which I don’t think you want. 😉
Thank you for your feedback Jacquie!

Is leather jacket also categorised as classic?
I'd say so.
You forgot the Bougee style type. Lots of labels.
There is a lot I didn't get to include. May have to do a part 2.
Androgynous * there’s an N in it - good video 😊
I came up with 4 basic styles: Dramatic, Classic, Casual/Sporty, Bohemian/Romantic. There are tons of subtypes.

You've been in fashion for a very long time! I had to laugh because your so young!! But you do a great job!!
Great video! My style is all over the place: minimal/contemporary/sophisticated/androgynous/tomboy with a dash of classic...depends on the day.
Love that! Sounds very similar to mine so that's probably why I love it :-) Thanks for sharing Crista!!
I am a combination of the minimalist and the sophisticated styles. It was an informative video to watch. Thanks!
Thanks so much for sharing with us!
I think my style is a mix of sophisticated and punk 🤣
I'm a sophisticated, classic bohemian. Does that make sense? I like different styles for different occasions. At my most basic, yup, jeans and a top. I always prefer a feminine aesthetic.
Completely makes sense! Love it Michelle!
Great video! The word androgynous comes from the Greek word for man which is “andras”.
Very cool, thank you!
I go with “garçonne” for the boyish aspects of my style.
Yes, love it!
Mine is: I see something I like and say its "my style" and then see another thing that looks completely differently and respond the same.
Srsly though, I dont know when Im going to find a style that resonates with me. I like girly girl but also punk, but wouldnt like to be too in-between if at all. Sadge
It would be amazing if you could make a video describing how you style your hair and which products you use. I love your style
I’m sophisticated, classic and sometimes edgy. First time you showed up in my feed and I’m a new fan. 🎉
Great combo! Very similar to my own :-) I'm glad you found the channel, welcome!!!!!
isn't it "androgynous" ? not adrogynous?
Regarding number 8. It’s androgynous, not adrogynous. It is from the Greek word for man - andros. I am also a bit surprised that you haven’t included Romantic as a style category.
I’m always trying to restrain my maximalist tendencies, I just want new clothes and accessories all the time! Setting a budget and having Do and Don’t Buy lists helps, as does saving for the real thing, i.e., a quality pair of leather boots, not three cheap fake pairs.
I love the idea of a Do and Don't buy list. Thanks Kimberly!
I'm definately eclectic.
I love rebel romantic....bohemian/70er flowers/florals.....vintage
I would personally put sophisticated, preppy and classic under the same umbrella, great video x
I don't even know what to call my style it's classic, kawaii, punk, victorian, beachy
Wow, sounds super cool!!
I’m contemporary/minimal/classic with a little boho for fun.
Years ago I used to be grunge and boho.
This was helpful and fun.
Thanks! ☺️
So glad it was helpful!! And thank you for sharing your style with us!!
If money and practicality would not matter, I would definitely go for avant-garde. But with being overweight, having to use public transportation, and, you know, just regular life happening, I guess I try to do a very creative version of contemporary - mostly expressed in tops and jewelry, like blazers and taking inspiration from Iris Apfel and Tzipporah Salomon. A black dress in either a classic cut or asymmetric goes a long way as a blank canvas, and is also great to mix in some more classic elements when desired.
Yes I agree with you Kat! I love avant-garde pieces but just most of the time way more pricey and not as practical. Love your style vibe though, still sound creative and fashion forward. Thanks so much for sharing your style with us!
Your style sounds great!💕
I really thought there were some good parts to this video but I noticed you use “clean” in so many of these style types. It got a bit old hearing “clean” constantly - does that mean the other styles are dirty? Apart from that I thought this was an interesting video!
I have a drawer of my favourite clothes. It's kind of like a capsule wardrobe :P (I'm taking inspiration from streetwear and techwear)
Great idea!
I thought I'm more towards minimalist.. But now I know that when I go to work my style is actually categorised as sophisticated and when I go out, my style is more towards grunge style or sometimes just casual
Love that Anne!
adrogenous and minimalist are my fav. i dont like messy style and too colourful. i keep everything simple.
This video was so helpful: I’d love a video abt styling edgy and chic for apple shaped bodies. I feel like my options are mostly dresses but I’d love to edge that up.
My sister is an apple and I always tell her high waisted bottoms are the best option. She got a pair of AGOLDE Riley jeans the other day and they look great because they add volume to her smaller hips. Then she paired with some black drapery tees and tanks with a relaxed tuck in waistline of jeans.
This video is so fun! I think I’m classic with a little boho, retro, and eclectic. I love a nod to the 70s, especially in shoe styles.
Cool blog I just discovered. I would have loved to have seen more examples though. Adore Julie Sarinana's style. Curious to know what style/s you would classify this as.
OMG get it right. When you said it I knew I am eclectic. I basically won’t put myself in a box and wear anything that I like regardless of what fashion type it is depending on each outfit
My style is classic with a touch of tomboy and casual and - particularly in the summer - a bit of boho. I love a boho top with jeans and flowy skirts in the summer. Great video!
Love your style and personality...came across your videos when looking for a review of the Nike AF1 Crater and love your work! This lip color looks great on you!
Thank you Roshini!!
My favorites: minimalist (for formal wear), streetwear (for everyday out-and-about), & casual (for around the house)
Love it, I can relate for sure. Thanks Sierra!
@@EmilyWheatley Thank you for the very helpful video! This was far more helpful than videos with 10x the views. Hope your views rise according to the quality!
Depending on the day, I'm sophisticated/glam/old-money/40s Film-noir classic but can also be very 80s-Dallas/90s-SATC dramatic/eccentric/bold androgenous/edgy-futuristic.
Could you please make a video on gamine style sometimes in the future? It is a style that a lot of people are interested in... Thanks!
Yea, I can include it, if I do a part 2, feel like there are so many fun ones I didn't get to mention.
Hmm... I don't fit in anywhere. But if I had some of those Preppy tops they would be make me happy. I'm guessing I'm a dramatic Preppy 😆
Great video! Video suggestion: brands that embody each of these style aesthethics, say Chanel with their classic vibe, Rick Owens and his avant-garde narrative or Ralph Lauren with the preppy air and so on...
Cowboy style, Safary style i like too with boho vibe
Not impressed w/ any of these fashions.🤔
i like boho witchy skirts (think amy lee evanescence meets 90s whimsical textures) with grungey pieces or a classic top and cool jacket and necklace .if printed skirt a band tee is my go to
How about "Athleisure?" I think I am Athleisure/Casual. At 65, I really can't get into the 'distressed clothing' look at all. No unhemmed jeans, or unfinished seams/edges. I KNOW it's my age (so don't come for me!! I am an old lady!) I am hoping for it to pass away soon.
Being rather thick through the waist, I do have to watch what I wear. I like fitted athletic tops, but they are not always a good choice for me! I do love a nice blazer with a T shirt/blouse and jeans. One of my favorite looks.
me: minimal/androgynous/tomboy/casual/sporty. YAWN. I need to incorporate some of my secondary tendencies - goth, boho, retro, grunge.....to add some fun and wake my yawn up.
The more I have to choose from, the more style variations/combinations I end up with!!!
Exactly! That is the beauty of it all right! Thanks Janic!
I’m not sure what my style is as the last 30 years I lived in scrubs as an ER RN but now I’m retired.
I don’t feel as if I’ve landed in one camp or the other ones.
On my days off I was hiking relaxing road trips.
So at 69 I want to explore styles like dress up when we were kids!
Like ur videos.
This was great. I am definitely an androgynous minimalist with a classic, sometimes casual twist ;-)
Love that! Thanks for sharing with us Brandy!
1.Where is the article that u said u will drop in description box?
2. Shoulder :39
Bust:37
Waist:31
Hips:37.5
I have a rectangle or hourglass shaped body?
Emily where would dark academia fall at? I am a dark winter, I like the preppy styles like pleated pants, jeans, and the80's type of preppy I love the big over sized preppy glasses of the 80's that make you look smart. But I also love denim, velvet and leather. I loved the harem pants that had pleats in the front and tied at the ankles. I wore this with high heels and a v neck sweater. Or preppy shoes. I also like the look of dark academia. With the big preppy looking glasses, plaid skirts, and boots
I love boots. So where do I fall in at? Because I'm not working right now I'm usually in sweats and a t shirt but when I go out to run errands I pull my long hair into a pony tail, and I'm either wearing tennis shoes like new balance burgundy tennis shoes and a dark gray tee with either linen shorts, pants or sweat shorts. How do I fit this together to get the look that I'm comfortable with and look great in. I want to be a little more sexy or sensual with out showing alot if skin.
Thank you for breaking this down. It finally hit me that my style is more tomboyish!
Awesome! Good for you!
Sophisticated for sure. I dress up everyday. Always put together. Some days a Preppy twist With Lilly Pulitzer or J Crew. No Jeans or T shirts. Vintage Ralph Lauren British Style. Tweed, Wool, Plaid...which is hard because I live in Florida. I get so tired of hearing people ask why I'm dressed up :-) Dressed up to me is a Ball gown !!!
Love love love that!!! Yes, you keep that sophistication going!
I basically dress in form fitting sexy basic but loud like tight sparkly dress or just any form fitting sexy item that looks nice on my body does that just make me sleezy style :sexy an easy 😂 not me the outfit 😂 they think I am 🙄 if I’m showing off the goods I must be easy … also me basically celibate😂
Styletypes start at 3:48.
Please look at the camera lens, not at yourself.
I guess I’m eclectic because I love going all out with lots of layers although I rarely wear prints. I’m an art teacher and love to play with style and love architectural elements in clothing. Sometimes I’ll wear all black but pair it with a great accessory or shoe like a red patent boot, textured tights and a cool necklace.
I love wearing two dresses or a skirt under a dress. I would never do preppy or too classic. Love your style. It suits you!!! Xoxo
Oh I love that your style description!! All black with pops of color or texture, yes please!! Thanks for sharing with us Gwen!
There is a style I seldom see mentioned called creative style. I could never find anything similar to my style until I heard of this. This may also be your style.💕
I have a friend who dresses this way also. She loves layers, texture and volume, but avoids anything classic, trendy, preppy and Boho. She is a huge fan of Japanese and Korean designers. I always thought it was eclectic meets avant garde, with a nod to arts & grafts (big statement jewellery).
