I am trying to figure out one.

Can you narrow that down? A style of clothing, a style of hair, a style of home decoration, a style of dancing, etc etc...??

Clothing. My sister said she would help me find a wardrobe if I can find one I like. :( I mostly wear blue jeans and t-shirts.

Ah, my style is comfy and quality, which usually limits my color options. I try to avoid plastic/non-natural fibers. I particularly like linen for the summer and merino wool for the winter.

Idk, mine is mostly brightly colored hippie bag lady.

I have two different styles: professional and comfy.

Clothing alternates between 90s teen boy, middle aged middle class woman, crackhead, and 8 year old dressing themself for the first time.

My home is decorated like a middle class elderly couple’s with a bunch of weird shot thrown in like lenticular horror prints going up the stairway, a dragon statue in the kitchen where most would put a fake plant, and an embroidery sampler that looks all old lady-ish but actually reads “Fuck. - Geralt of Rivia”

I’m a 47 year old woman living paycheck to paycheck.

Fashionwise? I'm glad this became a thing recently, because I didn't really have a name for this besides "minimalist."

I like simple shapes and neutral solid colors and black.

Now that I’m retired, it’s jeans, T-shirts, boots or sneakers. Comfortable clothes I can work in, garden, knit, read, or do shorter hikes in. I’m never going back to corporate professional dress.
Decor-wise, it’s eclectic clutterful. There’s storage for everything, but my current projects are all out around my chair. If I must, I can tidy everything away, but mostly it’s out.
I value comfort over anything now, and I can indulge myself. I highly recommend this approach to life.

Casual to mid-goth. As in when I'm not caring about how I look it's just black clothes in whatever style, but my nicer pieces are very clearly punk/goth I just don't go the full hog like others do because I am 1. bad at dramatic make-up and 2. can't pull off some of the more flamboyant clothes, they just don't look good on me imo. So I go for somewhere in between just wearing all black clothes and full-goth when I dress up. I also have colourful accent pieces, so like I'll be in a goth dress/shirt but my bag is bright pink. That kind of thing.

I used to. Now I am old and don't have time or money for style I want so instead I'm just blah whatever is on sale.

same.
But I always wear cotton or smilar breathable fabric as a first layer and look out for my colours.

Still figuring it out myself.

I'm somewhere between casual, femme, girly, aiming for refined, but with a touch of trash with care given towards comfort.

I like to be comfortable but I also like to feel cute and girly but also dark/goth-ish vibes, and I've always had a hard leaning toward flashy things that can been seen as tacky.
I'm also aware that I don't have the patience and energy to always be super focused on putting a stunning outfit together so I'm still working on how to fit my preferences together.

Like, I enjoy having slightly flashy coats or jackets because even if I'm in a torn tank and fuzzed up sweatpants, at least my brown faux fur coat is cute and soft! Comfortable shoes that can be worn with jeans or a dress/skirt are awesome.

I'm accepting that I can't fit my tastes into any bubbles but I can keep trying them out to find what works for me.

I'd encourage you to think about other people's styles you want to dress like or you feel is a lot like what you like to wear. It can be famous people, fictional characters, people you know IRL.

Like for me, Zooey Deschanel has always been someone whose style I like a lot. I LOVE Drew Barrymore's flowery girly vibes. I also still turn to "The Craft" for style inspiration. Randomly, last summer I really loved Ryan Gosling's styling in "The Place Beyond the Pines".

I highly encourage for fashion exploration as a means of expressing yourself so do you, OP! Have fun with it, don't think there is a right or wrong way to find your own style! <3

Mine's probably prep on a budget combined with needing to be ready to move. (Unlike a previous anon, I actually have an aversion to some natural fibers and find nylon/other synthetic blends less irritating because I tend to sweat a lot.)

When I had a style it was because I was into jpop and watched a lot of jdramas and talk shows and so on, and I really liked the way Japanese women dressed. Very feminine but not sexy, at least not in the way Western fashion often is.

Go for:
- lots of skirts
- lots of blouses/shirts
- bold colors (I loved jewel tones though pastels would work too, rarely bright, never neon, never too many colors or patterns on one piece)
- each item a classic version of itself, never a bland item trying to add pep by being "an X, but with Y"
- and then combine it to make it just a bit different from the standard, for example: dark yellow pants, a dark red shirt under a dark blue pullover -> unusually bold colors; a knit poncho with a classic cut shirt -> unusual style combination; and so on. Like, that red blouse/blue pullover or that poncho with a jeans would be boring, but with an other color/style, it's suddenly interesting.

Stay away from/use very sparingly:
- cleavage
- sport or leisure items (ex: hoodies)
- "this-goes-with-anything" items (ex: jeans)
- "this-goes-with-anything" colors (black/white/grays, beige, dark blue, light blue)

The wardrobe was easy to build and maintain and was distinct without being overly obvious as a ~style~. I got a lot of compliments and felt really good wearing it. Stuff happened and I could not keep it up, but I still love that style and if I get the opportunity to build a proper wardrobe again, I will go back to that style in a heartbeat.
