If you had to put into one word how to describe you style what would it be?
Indie?
hipster?
kitsch?
fashionista?
...............the list goes on and on
When i think about how I dress I would have to say i dress %30 mood %60 on trend and %10 expression of style. I usually opt out for comfort unless I have no intention of leaving the house. (Bridgett Jones underpants and all). This added together often manifests into what can only be described as a cleaner looking version of a hipster. I do however generally seem to be drawn back to similar colour schemes, cuts and favourites. These things i feel drawn to are what I would describe as my "style". This explains why I've ended up with shelves of high waisted shorts, boxes of loafers and countless loose fitting tees.
but how do we end up with these "styles"?...
Well ultimately fashion houses have determined the trends then its up to media to highlight what trends go where. An example of this can be seen through magazines. Look at your magazine rack..what types do you usually go for? Australian Vogue perhaps? If Vogue is to fashionista as Rush is to Indie and Frankie is to kitsch does it then seem logical that the media is helping aid your decision to what you will be buying and how you express yourself?
I think yes, though ultimately you make the last and most important selection of attire when you get ready for the day.
