Frequently Asked Questions

How do I figure out my personal style?

Save outfits you love for a week, then look for patterns in color, fit and mood. Compare them with what you actually reach for. This quiz gives you a name and a starting formula; your real style comes from wearing it.

Can I mix two fashion aesthetics?

Yes. Most great outfits blend styles, for example a Dark Academia blazer with Minimalist basics, or a Cottagecore dress with Y2K accessories. Keep one aesthetic as the base and use the other for accents.

How do I build my aesthetic without buying a lot?

Start with a capsule of pieces you already own in your aesthetic’s colors, then fill gaps secondhand. Accessories, hair and makeup change the look faster than a whole new wardrobe.
