What's Your Fashion Style? - Page 2
Question:
i don't know how i'd label my style... indie, maybe? on a typical day i'll be wearing low-top chuck taylors, some old khakis or slacks, a long sleeve t-shirt under a short sleeve thrift shop t-shirt [usually the kind with slogans or team names or something and/or numbers on the back], and a zip-up hoodie. i've pretty much dressed the same way since i was about fourteen, but it suits me, it's comfortable, and affordable, so i like it

Answer:
I've never posted on this topic before. Always just the perfumes. But it is a good question.
I like woody scents--both chypres and orientals. Strong ones. Very strong.
I don't spend much money on clothing, having already spent it on fragrance, plus I don't work outside the home, so the expense is unjustified. In addition, I work with art materials which stain clothing.
My style in the winter is black. Black Levis, black t-shirts, black leather footwear. Over the top, a jacket in burgundy. Or switch the shirt to purple or neutral under a black velvet jacket. Paisley scarf draped around the neck. Diamond stud earrings, or silver hoops.
In the summer? Shirt dresses. Make 'em myself. Cotton. Retro prints and paisleys. And sandals.

Answer:
Interesting. Very stylish people on Basenotes.
What I buy is determined by fit and cost. I've learnt to pick up items here and there - flea markets (good for jewelry or bags), vintage shops (the 60s and 70s fit my figure), the Salvation Army (just because), Top Shop, Armani Ex, and Versace and Guess (for the trousers); and I often shop overseas. I especially like Asian or European designs. I also make my own dresses. I saw something in a store two days ago and since I didn't want to spend $100 on a dress that might not fit me exactly I made a copy of it at home for $8.
I think I'm eclectic but I've been described as classic with a twist. Winters are all about trousers, sweaters, and pea coats. Summers are all about sun-dresses, sandals, and red lipstick. I'm a creature of habit. I've been wearing the same beanie in the winter for the past four years - basically if it's different and I can't wear it for the next twenty years I'll buy it. :-)
As a footnote the scents that most people identify with me is either a rose or sandalwood oil, or No. 5.

Answer:
My fashion style is comfortable. Nothing but the very best sweats and jeans.

Answer:
i'm very eclectic. I have preppy stuff and i have trendy stuff. I like t-shirts with cool designs so i have a lot of those. I'm not into high fashion (expensive stuff!) because i don't feel comfortable shelling out 200 bucks for a pair of jeans.

Answer:
I used to be quite eclectic when I was a city person, with a bent toward the trendy romantic, but since I'm now a student teacher and live in the burbs I have to dress simply, comfortably, conservatively. Not "preppy", though, I feel like a cliche in that. I could use a makeover, and that's no lie. :/

Answer:
Well, I work in a Salon so we wear all black all the time. Luckily though, us females can accessorize with color. At home on days off though, Im very Old Navy, The Gap kind of girl. Or track pants and my Nike's Very casual. But I do like to be girly and wear skirts and such but they are usually denim.

Answer:
I work for a small company that operates out of my boss's house, where he has a home office. So I can get away with wearing my gym gear to work as I go straight to the gym after.
For other days, I tend to wear combats with Nike Shox or other fashion trainers. Since discovering combats, I find jeans really uncomfortable. I also hate the new high waists and anything tight.
I actually have trouble getting clothes that fit me and flatter me. My basic bodytype is English Pear (small waist, wide hips, long from crotch to navel) so high waists make it look like my bum goes halfway up my back. The ideal height is for the waistband to sit one inch below my navel (or a bit lower, but not low enough to cause muffin top).
My upper body is very athletic and most women's tops are too narrow in the back, too wide in the waist and too short for my long spine. V-necks suit me best. I like clothes that show off my shoulders and arms as I am most proud of these.
Sometimes I am in black leather head to toe but since my leather trousers aren't the most comfortable, this is a special occassion thing (same with jeans, which I consider dressing up!!!)
I've actually just invested in a grey jersey dress and some white summer trousers and a shirt as I think now I'm pushing 40 I should look a bit more chic. But I don't envisage my day to day style changing much.
I like high heeled boots but I love to walk everywhere fast so I rarely wear them. It's nearly always some sort of trainer, or sometimes, my very well worn pair of Tony Lama cowboy boots.

Answer:
I long for the days when a pair of clean blue jeans, india print blouse, large hoop earrings and either boots or sandals (depending on the season) was THE date outfit. Foreign movie and/or ethnic restaurant. Don't forget the Mitsouko.

Answer:
I'm probably what you would label as somewhat preppy, mixed in with a little bit of "Asian" and sophisticiated/feminine. Preppy is more or less just my nature at times - I like Lacoste, I like Ralph Lauren... on a lower scale, GAP and Tommy Hilfiger (I'm eighteen, after all). I have an obvious Asian influence in my clothing choices because I'm of Asian descent - that normally means simpler lines, more layering, "cute"sy-er patterns... but unlike many popular Asian styles, I despise clashing (back to the preppy). I'm also somewhat sophisticated/feminine, but only relatively so, considering my age group. I'm more likely to wear, say, a low-cut tanktop with a cardigan overtop, an A-line skirt... than a graphic t-shirt and shorts. I tend to toward the colors of pink and green; I also shop at such stores as Aritzia (only occasionally), Plen+y, and many other boutiques. As for labels, I like Kenzie, BCBG, Propaganda, Lacoste, Ralph Lauren/Tommy Hilfiger, Anna Sui, Solola, Kookai, and many, many others... though of course, quality and style prevail over any label, so I like whatever looks high-quality and catches my eye at the same time. I'm something of a fashion plate, but I normally don't get too caught up in the endless swirl of Chanel, Dior, Armani, Boss... and etcetera. It always comes off as al ittle unneccessary to me.
Fragrances? My favorite scent is Coco Mademoiselle. I'm a huge lover of florientals and chypres; I can't really stand aquatics, and I tend to invest in scents that smell a little more chic and romantic at the same time. Rose, bergamot, sandalwood... my three favorite perfume oils. Does it fit in with my fashion philosophy? Seems to!
