You prioritize comfort, so you might like more oversized pieces, but you also like making a statement with what you wear. Fashion is a form of modern art to you. You might like pairing different textures or trying out different types of bomber or puffer jackets. Chunky jewelry, bucket hats, hoodies, and designer sneakers will give your outfits that extra edge that makes your style so chic and cool.

You like bold patterns, bright colors, lots of layering, audacious silhouettes, and lots of texture. In a post-COVID world, people are realizing that self-expression is more important than ever – and your maximalist style is at the forefront of that movement!

Mostly Es: Normcore

One of the newest aesthetics on the scene is also one of the most classic. Normcore refers to the fashion movement of dressing simply and simple dressing. It moves away from caring about trends and mainstream fashion to instead investing classic pieces that make you look and feel good. This includes looks like 1) the classic denim jeans, white tee, and cute flats for going shopping, 2) black leggings, an oversized sweater, and knee-high boots for fall, 3) a go-to pencil skirt and tailored blazer for work, and 4) athleisure outfits for relaxing. Normcore is for those gorgeous, gorgeous girls who dress for comfort and for their own enjoyment.

Mostly Fs: Retro-vintage

You’re a fan of vintage clothing items. You might like more traditional outfits with a 1950s and ‘60s vibe, or you may even go all the way back to the flapper girl era of the ‘30s. Or maybe you love any hidden treasure that you uncover at a consignment store. You don’t care about modern trends as much as you do about personal style. You like timeless, investment pieces, and you probably love secondhand shopping to save unique pieces from landfills. The retro-vintage look is classic and feminine – and it’s also a sustainable aesthetic if you buy all of your clothes from a consignment store like Current Boutique!

You’re always up with the latest trends, and you particularly love the fun nostalgia of the Y2K resurgence! Your clothes bring us back to a time of tech booms and some of the best pop culture of all time. You like metallic clothes and neon accessories, bubblegum pink and pastels, smiley faces and cartoon flowers, tracksuits and cropped sweaters, low-rise jeans and baby tees. The Y2K trend is hot for 2022, but we expect this nostalgia-style clothing will stick around for quite a while since it brings so much joy to fun ladies like you!

Check out some metallic designer pieces that your Y2K wardrobe needs.  

Mostly Hs: Light/dark academia

You embody the light or dark academia aesthetic. You likely find inspiration from and solace in art, literature, and writing. You dress the way books smell. You likely wear a lot of crewneck sweaters, tweed blazers, pleated skirts, button-down shirts, and cardigans. You love pieces that are both comfortable and polished, especially fabrics like cashmere, linen, and corduroy. Light academia leans more towards a brighter aesthetic with white, cream, and beige, while dark academia has a more autumnal palette of browns, beige, and chestnut and a heavier overall vibe. Like cottagecore, this aesthetic has an escapist vibe, launching you to Hogwarts or classical libraries every time you get dressed.
