Casual Style

Casual keeps function close and form neat. Fit stays easy, layers stay light, and comfort sets the pace for errands, coffee runs, and travel. When the day adds ceremonies, the rules shift to formal.

Silhouette: relaxed straight, easy A-line;
Key pieces: tees, rib tanks, denim, cardigans;
Fabrics: cotton jersey, denim, French terry;
Palette: neutrals with 1 accent;
Footwear: sneakers, flats.

Formal Style

Formal signals ceremony, evening schedules, and clear codes. Clean structure, dark tones, and refined accessories lead the look toward events and black-tie halls. Between day ease and grand events comes semi-formal.

Silhouette: column, sculpted A-line;
Key pieces: gowns, tux suits, floor-length skirts;
Fabrics: satin, silk faille, crepe;
Palette: black, midnight, jewel;
Footwear: heels, formal pumps.

Semi-Formal Style

Semi-Formal bridges office hours and receptions. Hemlines shorten, fabrics lighten, and jewelry adds focus without excess. From here the dial turns modest or expressive.

Silhouette: fitted sheath, midi A-line;
Key pieces: cocktail dress, sleek suit, wrap dress;
Fabrics: crepe, chiffon, ponte ;
Palette: navy, wine, metallic accents;
Footwear: block heels, refined flats.

Modest Style

Modest covers with intention and shape, not bulk. Necklines rise, sleeves extend, and proportions balance. Its quiet rules pair well with Classic.

Silhouette: straight, softly flared;
Key pieces: maxi dress, long-sleeve blouse, wide-leg set;
Fabrics: crepe, voile, lightweight wool;
Palette: camel, ivory, forest;
Footwear: loafers, low heels.

Artsy Style

Artsy treats clothing as canvas. Asymmetry, handwork, and statement color show a maker’s hand. It blends smoothly into Eclectic.

Silhouette: cocoon, deconstructed;
Key pieces: art print dress, sculptural skirt, crafty knit;
Fabrics: linen blends, raw silk, felted wool;
Palette: primaries with contrast;
Footwear: clogs, stacked boots.

Business Casual Fashion

Business Casual trims the suit without losing authority. Knit layers, neat denim, and low heels keep pace with hybrid work. Next, Classic sharpens the lines.

Silhouette: straight, tapered;
Key pieces: blazer, dark denim, silk blouse;
Fabrics: wool blend, poplin, knit;
Palette: charcoal, navy, white;
Footwear: loafers, mules.

Classic Fashion Style

Classic favors time-proof cuts and tidy details. Buttons align, seams stay clean, and prints stay simple. Vintage adds history to this base.

Silhouette: sheath, pencil, straight-leg;
Key pieces: trench, white shirt, cardigan;
Fabrics: gabardine, cotton sateen, cashmere;
Palette: navy, tan, cream;
Footwear: cap-toe flats, loafers.

Vintage Style

Vintage pulls originals from past decades. Authentic hardware, period prints, and heritage labels set the tone. NYC style often layers these finds.

Silhouette: 40s waist-defined, 70s flare;
Key pieces: tea dress, high-waist denim, swing coat;
Fabrics: rayon, corduroy, wool tweed;
Palette: sepia, mustard, teal;
Footwear: Mary Janes, stacked boots.

NYC Style

NYC reads fast: sharp cuts, black core, and street-smart layers. Utility meets polish in one outfit. Chic style refines this energy.

Silhouette: slim with strong outer layer;
Key pieces: leather jacket, black jeans, sleek tote;
Fabrics: leather, tech nylon, fine merino;
Palette: black, grey, white;
Footwear: ankle boots, trainers.

Chic Style

Chic trims excess and spotlights one strong piece. Crisp tailoring, clean lines, and quiet luxury define it. Garçonne offers a boyish counterpoint.

Silhouette: tailored slim, fluid midi;
Key pieces: silk set, minimal coat, structured bag;
Fabrics: silk, viscose, double-face wool;
Palette: monochrome with metal;
Footwear: slingbacks, minimalist sandals.

Garçonne

Garconne borrows from menswear and edits for ease. Think straight trousers, boxy jackets, and simple shirts. Sporty picks up the comfort thread next.

Silhouette: boxy top, straight leg;
Key pieces: suit, vest, crisp tee;
Fabrics: worsted wool, poplin, flannel;
Palette: black, grey, navy;
Footwear: oxfords, derby shoes.

Sporty Style

Sporty runs on motion. Stretch cores, breathable layers, and neat logos carry from gym to street. Minimalism pares this down further.

Silhouette: fitted top, relaxed bottom;
Key pieces: track jacket, leggings, skort;
Fabrics: jersey, mesh, tech knit;
Palette: black, white, team color pop;
Footwear: performance sneakers.

Minimalist Style

Minimalist edits to essentials. Few colors, clean shapes, and precise fit do the work. Eclectic flips the script with contrast.

Silhouette: straight, column;
Key pieces: crew tee, slip dress, longline coat;
Fabrics: cotton, silk, fine wool;
Palette: black, stone, white;
Footwear: plain sneakers, simple mules.

Eclectic Style

Eclectic mixes eras, textures, and prints with intent. One anchor piece keeps the set coherent. Preppy narrows the theme next.

Silhouette: varied, balanced by one base item;
Key pieces: patterned skirt, vintage tee, statement knit;
Fabrics: brocade, denim, lace;
Palette: mixed with a unifying neutral;
Footwear: platform sandals, retro trainers.

Preppy Fashion Style

Preppy nods to campus codes. Collars, pleats, and stripes keep it neat and bright. Bohemian loosens the structure after this stop.

Silhouette: A-line, straight;
Key pieces: polo, tennis skirt, cable knit;
Fabrics: cotton piqué, twill, lambswool;
Palette: navy, white, pastel;
Footwear: loafers, court sneakers.

Bohemian Style

Bohemian drifts with craft and ease. Tiered skirts, peasant tops, and fringe add flow. Retro looks back with sharper edges.

Silhouette: flowing A-line, maxi;
Key pieces: peasant blouse, kimono jacket, belt bag;
Fabrics: gauze, crochet, suede;
Palette: earth tones, sun-washed brights;
Footwear: sandals, slouch boots.

Retro Style

Retro recreates a specific decade with modern cuts. Think 60s shifts or 90s cargos with fresh shoes. Androgynous reduces gendered cues after this.

Silhouette: decade-specific, updated fit;
Key pieces: shift dress, flare jeans, bomber;
Fabrics: denim, faux leather, tricot;
Palette: era colors with neutrals;
Footwear: platform heels, chunky sneakers.

Androgynous Style

Androgyny favors balance and clarity. Boxy tops meet straight bottoms and neutral palettes. Editorial pushes volume next.

Silhouette: straight, boxy;
Key pieces: overshirt, straight trousers, tank;
Fabrics: wool suiting, rib knit, canvas;
Palette: black, taupe, white;
Footwear: minimalist sneakers, loafers.

Editorial Style

Editorial reads bold on camera and set. Exaggerated shapes, high contrast, and statement accessories drive images. Edgy grounds that drama for the street.

Silhouette: sculptural, voluminous;
Key pieces: couture-like dress, power coat, corset;
Fabrics: taffeta, organza, lacquered finishes;
Palette: high contrast;
Footwear: runway heels, thigh boots.

Edgy Style

Edgy cuts sweetness with grit. Leather, metal hardware, and asymmetric hems add bite to basics. That loop returns to Casual for daily wear.

Silhouette: fitted jacket, skinny or slouch bottom;
Key pieces: moto, ripped denim, mesh top;
Fabrics: leather, coated denim, mesh;
Palette: black with metal;
Footwear: combat boots, pointed boots.
