Episode Details

Have you ever done one of those style quizzes and wondered which style personality is really you? In this episode, I dive into one of my favourite topics in fashion: the 7 style personalities, and why figuring out yours is one of the most fun — and most powerful — things you can do for your confidence.

I take you through a wonderful evening out with four of my girlfriends in Marylebone, where I watched each of them show up in such completely different, beautifully expressive outfits that it inspired this whole episode. I walk through all 7 style personalities — Romantic, Classic, Creative, Dramatic, Alternative, Contemporary, and Natural — using my friends and some of my lovely QueenMee customers as real examples, so you can start to recognise exactly where you fit. 

I also share a brilliant quote from Iris Apfel on why trying to be someone else never actually makes you stylish, and I open up about why some women dampen their own natural style because of what a partner, friend, or family member says — and why that's such a shame.

 By the end, you should have a much clearer idea of which style personality (or combination) is really you, so you can lean into it, stop second-guessing your choices, and start building your own signature style with confidence.

 QUOTE OF THE EPISODE

"You can't try to be somebody you're not. That's not style. If someone says, buy this, you'll be stylish, you won't be stylish because you won't be you." — Iris Apfel

THIS WEEK'S STYLE CHALLENGE

Work out which of the 7 style personalities is really you (Romantic, Classic, Creative, Dramatic, Alternative, Contemporary, or Natural) — you might even be a combination of two. Then lean into it: next time you go shopping, choose something because it's authentically "you," not because it's what you think you should wear.

Send me an email amanda@amandawaterstone.com or DM me on Instagram and let me know which style personality you are — I'd love to hear!
