Steps to Style: Step 3: Introduction to Styles

Now that you know somewhat of what you like and who you are, I'll introduce you to some popular styles. Maybe you're not one of these, maybe you're a mix. Therefore, you could already have unique style. I'm a mix of styles, so don't worry. Vintage: Inspiration from vintage clothing, wearing vintage clothing, black, white, pearly pink, and royal colors are big. You could also have a style from a certain vintage era such as the 20s, 50s, 60s, etc. Vintage is a part of my own style. I love boyfriend blazers, pearls, ray bans and a lot of other vintage clothing or inspired clothing.

Boho:Inspiration definitely from Mexico, Spain, India, and America. Natural looking clothing. Bright colors are a key aspect to this style, bohemian braids, fringe. I have a friend who's style has a boho feel.

 Edgy:It's what it sounds like, this style has an edgy feel with darker colors, skulls, spikes, chains, and fringe. It's not 'goth' and it's not 'emo' either, there's always some femininity. My own style has some edgy elements.

Romantic: Very, very feminine. Light and soft colors, frills, floral patterns, basically just plain pretty. My own style has some romantic inspiration.

Hipster: Very modern. Don't care attitude, jesus sandals, sweaters, pop culture t-shirts from now or most likely the 90s, definitely owl aspects in the form of jewelry.

UrbanStreet: Hip hop influenced, hi-top sneakers are a huge part of this style along with bright colors and modern shapes.Look up some more styles, I'm sure you'll find one you like. You can even mix styles and create your own. You won't just automatically have a style however. It happens over time, as you gradually find what you like and what timeless pieces you want for your closet. Step 4 coming soon...
