What’s Your Fashion Personality?

Ever wonder what it’s like to be a fashion buyer at big retailers like Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Barney’s, Macy’s, or even Sears? As an aspiring stylist, I certainly do! And this week, I had the opportunity to open a store via StyleOwner called Alpha Caste. I find that a stylist and a fashion buyer have common responsibilities: find the best clothes for your clients. Except, a stylist works with one client making it a really personalized experience, where as a fashion buyer has to work with different segmentations of clients. What makes a good stylist is the ability to actually be style-neutral and to realize the aesthetic appeal and the potential of a piece of clothing for what it is, regardless if it suits your personal style or not. One important aspect about being a stylist, is to understand a person’s style, which can be a mix of various fashion personality types. Take a look at the summaries of each fashion personality, and find out yours now!

If you’ve visited my profile, you would see a breakdown of my style:

– 5% Bohemian

– 10% Bombshell

– 15% Classic

– 0% Eccentric

– 5% Edgy / Rocker Chic

– 10% Lady

– 10% Minimalist

– 30% Modern / Fashion-Forward

– 10% Preppy

– 5% Sporty/Casual

Alright, at first glance, it looks like I have a huge style identity crisis. Maybe it’s a little chaotic and diverse, but this specific breakdown represents ME! And as my style evolves, the percentages will increase and decrease in certain areas.

If you check out Alpha Caste, I have created several collections based on these 10 personal styles. Yes, I am unsubtly luring you to my store =D.

If you’re not sure where you fall (maybe your style is diverse like mine!), here’s a summary:
