Style Tribes

Did you know that when you are profiled by a personal stylist as part of a style analysis (what clothes to wear for your body shape) what style preference or style tribe you fall into is often the 1st area covered?

There are 5 main style preferences and we all largely fall into one preference with influences from the other tribes. So can you guess what style tribe you fall into?

Classic-The smart look

• Well groomed
• smart and elegant
• well co-ordinated
• value quality and style more than quantity and trends
• like tailoring and structure
• wear accessories and jewellery but are often understated
• confident with business and formal wear but can struggle with casual wear
• hair is done and makeup carefully applied

Romantic – The feminine look

• prefer softer contoured lines and styles with movement
• like print, colour and sparkle
• like wearing dresses, blouses and skirts
• like extra work such as applique and embroidery
• jewellery is delicate
• hair often worn longer with hair accessories at times
• makeup is natural

Natural-The relaxed look

• a relaxed approach to dressing
• not prepared to sacrifice comfort for fashion or style
• prefer natural fabrics with softness and texture
• prefer natural colours and non patterned items
• shoes must be comfy
• have a few pieces of jewellery which rarely change
• wash and go hair
• light or no makeup

Dramatic – The fashionista look

• exaggerated or unnatural silhouette
• oversized accessories and prints
• chunky,shiny, colourful pieces of jewellery
