Have you ever wondered what your personal style is? Everyone wants to be unique. Fashion is not exclusive to models, celebrities and those who can afford the latest designer clothes. Creating a personal style is one way to develop an image that you want to exude to the people around you. These five popular fashion styles will help clarify your clothing questions to dress you and your home in a style that suits you to a tee.
The Classic Style Is Timeless. It’s a traditional look. It never goes in or out of fashion.
The Casual Style Is Relaxed. It’s comfortable. Usually it’s a simple, understated look.
The Contemporary Style Is Current. It’s more cutting edge than the rest. Contemporary is very tailored.
The Eclectic Style Is Non-Traditional. It’s a mix and match style. Nothing matches perfectly but everything coordinates beautifully.
The Romantic Style Is Soft. It’s best described as feminine with ruffles and or bows. Think Flowing.
Most of us fit into at least two of these styles. That means you have a primary and secondary fashion and home style. For example many Californians tend to be Casual / Classic or Classic / Casual because it’s what defines their relaxed, comfortable lifestyles.
To get started discovering your fashion style, look at your wardrobe and see what styles and colors you wear 80% of the time. Remember that creating a personal style is a work in progress. It doesn’t come automatically. It’s a process of experimenting on various genres. Even fashion icons may have had to go through a lot of criticisms before they discovered what looked best on them. The most important thing is that you have fun dressing yourself up according to your style personality.

Happy Fashion Friday,
I could so rock 'Casual'. I just need A Turquoise Jacket w/ light-brown trimming (seriuos) and burgundy denim :)
Oh, but I've found buying shoes in SA (really) hard work - but 'Zoom', funnily enough are coming up with some really cool styles, or maybe I'm just tired of paying anything over R650 for a shoe lol! So...yah, help is needed on that front.
(which reminds, I need a pair of FEIYUEs)
I am a mixture of it all. The preppy, eclectic, super romantic, casual and contemporary girl. I love that I'm so diverse. (Yes I just praised myself)
Contempo ...i guess its the only look that makes me feel i like "me" everything else makes me look hilarious ...i tried the eclictic ...quess it was not for me :)
