Re: Do you have a style?

(Anonymous) 2024-01-14 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
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.
