Have you ever seen an outfit and thought “that is so (insert your friends name here)”? The reason you are so clear on what that friend would wear is because they are dressing according to their style type. “What is my style type?” you may ask. Read the following descriptions and see which one sounds most like you. Keep In mind that we all have more than one style type, but usually one is more dominant.
