Determining Your Clothing Personality

What is a clothing personality? It's your style. Think of any famous women, how do they dress? Do they tend to wear suits and tailored clothes or flowing dresses? Do they wear big bold jewelry or pearl studs?

While most of us may alter our dress style for a special occasion, day in and day out we are drawn to the style we are most comfortable in. Determining your clothing personality will save you time and money because you will know what type of clothing works best for you. And knowing this will keep you out of trendy clothes you will never feel quite right in. It will also help you narrow your focus while shopping - saving you loads of time and money.

Let's use four personality choices to narrow down our look. From the list below, choose the person you would most like to trade wardrobes with. Remember to choose the clothing style you would feel the most comfortable in - not the lifestyle of the celebrity you'd most like to have.
Bold
Cher, Elizabeth Taylor, Madonna, Marilyn Monroe












Classic
Jackie O, Katharine Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Nicole Kidman















Naturalist
Renee Zellweger , Faith Hill, Julia Roberts, Rachel Ray






Romantic
Jessica Simpson, Mandy Moore, Reese Witherspoon, Goldie Hawn














A Bold Clothing Personality wants to be noticed and remembered. She likes the extreme of fashion glamour and is always on the cutting edge. Her closet is full of bright colors and flashy prints. Everyday should be a red carpet day for the Bold Clothing Personality. She tends to love bold accessories and dramatic designs. Her cosmetic line is going to be color driven such as M.A.C or Nars.

The Classic Clothing Personality likes to look good without putting a lot of thought into it. Her closet is full of basic styles in her clothing color wheel. And she chooses colors that enhance without drawing attention. She tends to wear more pants suits than dresses. Even her special occasion pieces are sophisticated and understated. For accessories, she prefers a pearl strand or diamond studs. She is more into skin care than into color and is most likely a fan of Lancome or Clarins.

The Naturalist Clothing Personality is drawn to function over form. She will gladly trade the latest fashion trend for jeans and a t-shirt. Her clothes are made of natural fibers for their comfort and ease of care. Her accessories are minimal - earrings and a watch. Her make up will usually consist of little more than powder, lip gloss, and mascara - if any at all. Philosophy and Origins are the most likely cosmetic lines for the Naturalist.

The Romantic Clothing Personality is soft and fluid. She likes fabrics that drape and flow. She prefers earth tones and soft colors - although not necessarily dull or boring. She likes large prints, long flowing bottoms, lace tops and ruffled blouses. Her accessories are dainty chains and small pearl strands. Her makeup is soft and subtle in shades of pink and peach. Soft color lines like Clinique or Bobby Brown will be the cosmetic choice of the Romantic.
