Natural, androgynous, eclectic. This video explains why i feel so confident in some of my clothes and like I'm dressing up in others. Thank you.

My words are comfortable, feminine, rebellious ❤ I love contrasts not only in my wardrobe, but also in my life. I love edgy outfits, especially leather but I also love flowy dresses and puff sleeves, I guess it depends what season is. In the summer I always dress more feminine. My life is the same. I need adrenaline like skydiving, paraglading, rafting, rollerskating but I also love yoga, mindfulness, lazy days relaxing on the beach or hiking and forest bathing. Life would be too boring to live it on repeat.

My 3 words are effortless, classic and chic

Soft/relaxed, minimal and modern/contemporary. And besides these style words, it’s really important for me to pay attention to the fabrics. If it’s not cotton, linen, wool or silk, I won’t reach for it, no matter how much I like the style of it.

Yes very important observation with fabrics too! I completely agree 😄 A classic blazer feels more polished when it’s a light weight wool for example, whereas if it’s linen it nods more to the casual style personality 😊

Thank you for making this subject less confusing. The words that currently appeal to me are timeless, simple, and surprise.

My words are: Boho chic, authentic, Timeless. I have a few modifiers base on mood, events or seasons. This video is on repeat for me Signe! Thank you for the breakdown 😊❤

I still find my 3 words so hard to settle on! Earthy, soft, polished? My style is sort of cottage core mum/wealthy person at a country estate/going to a farmers market in the south of France 😅 I’ve always found describing these ‘scenarios’ or ‘personalities’ easier than 3 words..

My styles are contrasting. I love classic, edgy, and bohemian styles. Crazy. I’ll wear a classic suit jacket with a crochet bandana on my hair 😂

Very helpful thanks Signe, now I am off to ponder my 3 key words. Thinking Minimal, Casual & Feminine

My three words are relaxed, effortless and thoughtful. I picked them based on Alison Bornstein's book. But maybe I'll reasses them

Loved this! It's a great breakdown of the words

Thanks, I finally understand better, how to define my personal style.

Whenever I find that my world is changing too much in one way or another, I'll use fashion/style as a means of reclaiming my own sense of self back, but then I'll start to feel like I'm using this form of expression in a way that doesn't feel authentic. A lot of my personal thoughts have been kept under wraps for far too long, and how this ties into my sense of fashion makes me realize that I hate it when I can''t be my truest self around the people who claim to care for me. Needless to say that there's a lot of evolving that's been happening, but I don't think some of these changes have been positive. I want my style to feel authentic to who I really am now, so the tips you represented in this video have been super helpful in weeding out what doesn't feel like me.

Thanks for this, Signe, I am still working out my three words and this helps add more nuance!

Natural, masculine, confident. Love your channel!

I love the groupings of style words for different categories as well the accompanying visuals you provided. I am still trying to pin down two of my style words and this way of looking it them was helpful.

Amazing!! So glad to hear that, thank you! ❤

Thank you for explaining the style personality words. I have had trouble sorting them out after watching some other sources. Mine would be casual, minimal, classic; or at least these 3 seem to fit my clothing style best. I have gone years with a mess with my wardrobe; but finally i am getting there.

This is exactly the video I needed to nail down my style! The keywords and pictures were so helpful :)

The amount of mental space I have wasted on these 3 words.. 🤣 it can be surprisingly tough. I´ve landed on casual, soft and Frandinavian. For the life of me I cannot find a better word to describe simple, comfortable clothing with a slight romantic or vintage edge to it, so voila. Could easily change in 6 months time.. 😆

@@Ophelia441 yes it is lol. You gotta combine the two or otherwise three words will turn into six 😜

My three style words are Classic, Creative, and Relaxed. I need my clothes to be easy to wear and reasonably professional in an office setting, but too classic bores me. I really like Romantic looks, Goth looks and Androgynous looks, but if I go to far toward any of them I feel like I'm wearing a costume, not clothes. I like clothes that are just a little more flowing and easy fitting, so relaxed but not oversized or I look like I'm drowning in fabric.

Casual, relaxed, edgy, artsy, romantic 😂. I'll figure it out eventually. I wear jeans 99% of the time. I prefer an ankle length or cuffed. I'm still searching for the perfect black trouser. Sneakers, boots ( chelsea, Dr Marten) loafers, moccasins. Crewneck t's, sweaters, I LOVE a funnel neck, boatneck and bateau neck line. Nothing fitted. Relaxed, not sloppy. This is my look just about every day. I find that I add a little bit of "romance" when I have to dress up. A dressy look is the most challenging for me.

❤❤❤❤ best breakdown I’ve seen of this!

Great video! Thought I was 'classic' but I'm changing it now to 'elevated' as that feels better for my style (along with edgy and casual) 😊

This was so helpful! Thank you so much! ❤

Romantic, elevated, simple. I've never seen a video that explains this so well. Thank you.

Authentic. Minimal/Quiet Luxe/Androgynous and Understated. Edgy comes from my overall presence, tattooed sleeves and shaved pixie haircuts. Awesome video! This helped me to honestly pay attention to my wardrobe.

relaxed, minimal, punk are my words. love this method so much and learned a lot about myself

Arty, timeless, classic. I keep going back to the same things just because they feel comfortable. I will watch this again. Thank you😊xx

Excellent video to describe three words as I was very confused before. I now have a much better understanding of it.

Perhaps the most useful video I have seen on lux youtube. Thank you SO much!

My system=> EASY (ie. easy care and easy wear), COOL (ie. cool colours, cool garments for a hot climate, and cool vibes), and CONTEMPORARY (ie. up to date, no granny outfits for this 60yo). I make my style words work hard =)

I can relate to that. Thanks for sharing!

Wow thanks! I guess 'elevated' was the type I was looking for! I ravitate towards classic style but like to bring in something more interesting and personal to it. Sometimes romantic, sometimes drama. I guess that describes the process of 'elevation' haha

I loved this! I think I would choose my 3 as Elegant, Casual and Soft. ❤

Thank you for this! Was so helpful! I haven’t seen a video like this to really explain!

This has been very difficult to me to figure out. This was helpful but I'm still working to figuring it out. I was in a business environment for over 30 years and did enjoy the professional attire. Unfortunately, I got very ill 10 years ago. I miss using clothes to improve the way it makes you feel and finding a voice through dressing. I have been trying to research the last several years but have mades lots of mistakes along the way. Unfortunately, I am very ill again but not giving up trying. Thank you for sharing and helping find ways to use what you have and looking for preloved.

Natural (as in, natural fabrics, an earthy color palette, no brand logos or prints, and more natural organic lines) Androgynous/classic (tailored items inspired by office wear, sturdy and practical, very blocky and reliable in terms of colour) Comfortable/practical/ease (nothing too tight, also nothing too loose that gets in the way, ready for anything, a utility feel like boilersuits and trenchcoats, can bike to work in these clothes). Looking at those three they sound so boring, but I think my fun comes in with playing with different color combinations, so maybe I should add "colorful" in there too. I'm all about finding the right shade of every color for my complexion, and I've now got a warm dusky rainbow in my wardrobe. 🎉❤😊

Tnx so much for this! Used your 4 categories to sort my wardrobe. Found out I have the most classic items, second casual items and pieces when I want to dress up are romantic but very few. Great tool to analys my wardrobe and learn more about my style.

Very useful! Thank you ❤

Thank you. Very helpful.

Thank you Signe! Mine are classic, natural, easy. Classic style and tailoring. Natural fibres and natural makeup. Easy, simple styling that is comfortable and seemingly effortless

You look fab in everything esp love that green suit.

Romantic and Elevated

Very helpful, thank you, Signe! 🌷 It would also be greatly helpful to see a video illustrating various brands that do different styles especially (or at least fairly) well. 🙏🫶

Very usefull video thank you!

Elevated is Exactly what i am drawn too! (besides casual/athelic). I've never heard this style name mentioned or described before, so thank you so much! Really helps in creating clarity for myself ^^

My style words: Elevated Classic Comfortable Whimsy Put together This video was so helpful and I do use my words to help put outfits together:

Thank you Signe! This is an excellent answer to my question about contrasting style words. I’m playing with them: relaxed, polished, chic. I dress causally, aspire to be polished, and want to feel chic.

Hi Signe loved this video. I came up with classic, creative for myself. Unsure about a third description as I could be a bit rock n roll or I might feel romantic. Music has been a big influence on my dress & I love vintage styles too. Hope you are keeping well. Best wishes Karen 🌺

Natural, cool, relaxed ❤

Absolutely loved this video and how you explained it ❤ makes it so much easier to understand)) my style words casual/ effortless , minimal/ sophisticated 😊

Ahhhh 🤦‍♀️ I keep changing my third word...just can't quite find the one that fits (yet). I'm not giving up, though. Thank you Signe 💝 great video.

Love this video ❤ And I honestly enjoy your podcast with Christina and Alyssa very much ❤❤ My style words as I feel them now are casual, elegant and soft. They sound contrasting too, but I am very happy with them 🤗 I first heard ‘soft’ as for style from you, and thought what a great word to incorporate the colours that I like and some feminine touch here and there in my outfits that I lean towards currently ❤

My 3 words are chic, feminine, modern. Great video!

Some great examples here! My words are effortless (casual but still chic), flirty (more girly side of sexy) and playful (that can range from colourful to unexpected bold and even a little bit of edge)

This was helpful to have some definitions. I might be sporty sleek cool

Sporty, chic, clean

Im a romantic but never would have thought to label it that. My 3 words are minimal, boho, organic.

Hi Signe. Thank you so much for this video. It helped my to understand why i am drown to pieces and give me more ideas to change up my outfits a liitle bit more, because i feel like i am going towards a style rut. My identity is deffently soft, with 2 out of 3 chapters calling my name (romatic and casual) and i feel like a iam also Classic . Not sure about Elevated, but 2 out of 3 really helps to understand my style and what i want.

Soft (casual, comfy) and Preppy are the two words I would use to describe my “style”.

Simple, (quietly) refined, soft

Great video and you look lovely in the suit with the little camisole ❤

After watching this, I might change my “classic” to “elevated” or “elevated classic”. I love simplicity, restraint and sophistication in my clothes, with the best fabrics I can afford. It seems a better fit for what I like than the descriptive words like corporate, conservative or professional, which you list under classic. I might tend a bit professional, certainly I adore classics like blazers, tailored coats and pleated skirts, but I try to keep some more casual elements in my outfits, too.

My 3 words are rugged, vivacious and graceful.

Soft, rich, and airy. I think I’m a creative style personality primarily.

I wrote down these aftee hearing about this method a while ago on the podcast: Fairy, practical and light(weightwise) which if id taken your words, it would probably be whimsical, reliable and sporty!

Sleek, Glamorous, and...Modern/Minimal kind of get at what I want for the last word, but I need to find something more evocative to me personally. I like Elevated as a style type distinct from Classic. I don't want completely simple, clean lines like what happens with most Classic styles, I need that twist that Elevated offers. It's so much easier to approach future shopping with the mindset of going for something elevated.

I have three words were two of them are more how I want to feel than a style. Classic Lay back Grace. Is that ok? I think you talked about how you feel in your cloths as the most important part. If you don’t feel good then it doesn’t matter if you think the cloths are perfect, right?? You want to feel good and in what way good then, I thought! Love your work Signe 👌❤️❤️❤️

Soft minimal classic creative (touch of indi/boho, like statement pieces)

My three style words: classic, elegant and feminine. Smart Casual is my style, I don’t dress as casually as most women, but that’s only because I would much rather wear a skirt outfit or dress than jeans or trousers. Most people consider even the most casual “draped bottoms”, skirts and dresses, more formal, even denim skirts and cotton t-shirt dresses, which surprises me. Most of mine are casual styles and fabrics, but I constantly hear “what are you so dressed up for?” I’m not, I’m just wearing a casual dress or skirt because they’re so much more physically comfy for me.

Comfortable(relaxed), minimal, and modern? (This last word can shift according to my mood. It can even include something boho as an interesting piece)😊

Difficult because I have essentially two personalities. I have a Bohemian and eclectic sexy style and a more casual simple style ( that I wear for work) . I tend to wear the former for going out and holidays ( some my call it my fantasy self , but it's more my alter-ego).

Classic , casual and minimal.

My stylewords are casual, modern and comfortable 😊

Three words are a struggle. I have academic, comfortable and powerful (rebellious??) I like my warm natural colors and tweeds, but want a place for my doc martens, Fluevogs and moto jacket. I have always like both styles - academic and more edgy but as I am getting older it is harder to wear black with my coloring.

My words would be natural, soft and italian/feminine. Translated into visuals my wardrobe looks like 95% Emerson Fry aesthetics and 5% Dolce&Gabbana commercials 😂. I do love this "Italian" touch, it's feminine, classic and retro, gives my style some spice, but would be too dramatic for my lifestyle and personality in bigger amounts.

My 3 words are natural (fibers), laid-back (silhouette), and flamboyant (just a touch).

Signe, love this video. Your content is always *chef’s kiss*. I have a question for you and the community in general. Does anyone find that their style words change drastically depending on the season? My spring/summer style persona is very different from my fall/winter style persona and I don’t know if that is a barrier to having a more curated wardrobe. For spring/summer: Relaxed, feminine, 70s California, for autumn/winter: androgynous, British grandpa from the 40s.

I cant pick just 3 words. Some days im relaxed classic. Next day im pure rock chic. 🤷‍♀️. Now i know why i have so many clothes. 😂

Great explanation, thank you. How do we balance between day to day style and work style? For me they are quite different and I feel like a totally different person. For example day to day I am casual, 90s and a bit quirky. At work I am classic, modern and cool. Very rarely do the 2 personas meet 😅

Very interesting! My 3 words are Timeless Classy and Easygoing. But maybe I should change Classy for Sleek?🤔

Honestly, I don't get how you combine like 35 styles into "creative" and then try to tell me that "elevated" is not the exact same as "classic" 😅

Why picking style words has become the possible.. each time I think about it I think I am trying too hard. Ugh. Will re-watch this episode in a different frame of mind!!!

Its a very nice video, but its always about fashion for people in offices, but nobody ever makes a video for women who work manually. Id love to dress like a person in the office, but I cant, Id just destroy this clothes in one month. Every week every changing season I struggle, I am a woman, I want to look decent, but I clean big spaces inside, and I spend lot time walking, bending, lifting, I sweat, sometimes I even fall and destroy my trousers on my knees, what to do..I d be nice to have a video for us manual working women...😅

Interesting, for me "Bohemian" makes more sence than "creative" wich is a more generic adjective.

Good luck in the hospital. ❤
