An Attitude Towards Fashion (What’s Your Style)

Shannon Chow · April 3, 2012 · 6 Comments

Have you asked yourselves these questions?
What’s your style?
What’s your personality?
What is Fashion to you?
           Fashion in the english dictionary says:-
              a. style in clothes, cosmetics, behaviour, etc, esp the latest or most admired style 
              b. ( as modifier ): a fashion magazine
Fashion enables anyone (both man and women) to create personality, enhance their bodies and create first impressions. The way we dress affect the way we walk, talk and present ourselves as we act on a character or personality by the style or dress we are wearing.
There are many styles around us, fashion brands carried their brand or designer personality. For me, fashion is a way for us to play dress up. I can be very feminine in the day time and be slightly wild and dramatic at night time for a party. Fashion allows us to be ourself and wear someone’s else shoes for awhile.
So what’s your style? Are you Classical, Elegant, Dramatic, Feminine, or Casual?
After we’ve discovered your style, I’ll share with you more on my attitude towards Fashion.
* 
Classic
The Female Suite.
I personally enjoy this classic piece, well Coco Chanel did wore her pant suite well and carried her self very elegantly. A suite, not only makes a man looks presentable and gentlemen, it works for the ladies keeping her feminine yet firm or shows her manly side. This is actually one of my favourite.
Classic dresses.
The classic style are mostly around the 60s, 70s, 80s where we see alot of vintage style lately, some of them are classic.Brands with Classical look: Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Armani Exchange and so on.
Icons with Classical look: Coco Channel, Audrey Hepburn and mostly 60s or 70s celebs.

Elegant

Gowns and dresses.
Normally, everyone would be elegant at a prom party, red carpet event, black tie party, cocktail parties and etc. At least I don’t see anyone running around town in KL wearing a gown everyday!Brands with Elegant look: Keith Kee, Melinda Looi, Valentino, Prada, Bebe
Icons with Elegant look: Angelina Jolie,  Jennifer Lopez and almost anyone on Oscar or red carpet.


Dramatic

Do you fancy, heavy wild prints like Leopards, metal studs, and GAGA style? Basically anything taht’s striking for attention. Then your dramatic!Brands with Dramatic look: Alexander McQueen, Dior, Versace
Icons with Dramatic look: Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj

Feminine

Soft tender lace, chiffons, sweet colours, romantic details, your very Feminine in your style.
Or you could also enjoy summer dresses, flora prints which is a mixture of Casual and Feminine.Brands with Feminine look: Somerset bay, Forever 21, Laura Ashley, Nichii
Icons with Feminine look: Nicole Kidman, Taylor Swift

Sporty

Love sneakers and T-shirts. Your the sporty type.
Mixing up hoodies and sport shoes can create and express your style as well.Brands with Sporty Look, some brands have a mixture of dramatic sporty and casual sport when it comes to clothing. Sporty brands includes Nike, Adidas, Adidas Neo, Roxy, Billabong, Juicy Couture.

Casual or Natural

Most of us in our daily lives, would fall under this category. Just a pair of jeans, shirt or a simple scarf pulls off the casual look. In fact, I’m very into this style as it’s comfortable and laid back.Brands with Casual look: Padini Authentic, British India, Gap, Uniqlo
Icons with Casual look: off the red carpet you’ll spot most celebs on their casual like Carmen Diaz

* 
Hope your able to find your style here as these are just some basic style types that most of us would encounter. Plus, now that you’ve know more about styles, you could play up and get some pieces of clothes or accessories which you could create these looks on your day to day look – spice up something interesting.

My attitude towards fashion is dress to be yourself, while occasionally dress to be somebody. Fashion is a tool to enhance your body and your personality. Hide those unpleasant parts while flaunt parts that are great or enhance your character.
