What Is Your Style Archetype? With Ruby La La
Whether you love to get outdoors in your walking boots or strut your stuff for an evening of bar-hopping, we each have a style archetype that acts as the foundation of whatever look we go for. Discover yours and say goodbye to buying clothes you never wear! or feel uncomfortable in
Naomi is active, outdoorsy, and always on the go.
If you are like Naomi, then you are independent and push youself to be your best version! You love an adventure and having new experiences because you can be easily bored.
Clothing style: Your go-to style will be unstructured and easy to wear such as a hoody or sweater in neutral, natural fabrics. Choose clothes which are functional and not worn in a bid to attract attention. You feel best in an easy minimalist look.
Naomi's Style challenge: “I have a black-tie work do and don’t know what to do wear”. Dressing up is Naomi’s main concern. Luckily, traditional yet unstructured dresses like the shift are very on-trend and will be perfect for her.
You should consider investing in one or two dresses which will work for a number of different events, from dinners out to evening events or weddings.

Frieda is a philosophical artist at heart
If you are like Frieda you are elegant, intriguing and enchanting. You are cultured and love nothing more than being surrounded by a beautiful landscape and your closest loved ones. Ever the host you will cook heavenly healthy meals for all, work your body gently to keep it in good shape and hold strong values.
Clothing style: embrace a feminine, unconstricted shape with soft flowing lines, chic nature inspired colours, and a dress cut to show your shape, though not overtly.
Your Style Challenge: “I have been asked to give a talk at an event and need to wear something smart”.
Constricting or traditional looks are not something your are drawn to or comfortable in styling, and so a beautiful trouser suit in the softest linen or even silk would be a wonderful alternative option.
Smart, loose trousers in a lovely colour which can be dressed up or down would be a great item for you to keep in you wardrobe for these smart occasions, and a loose fitting jacket with a tie at the waist can be easy to dress up any look.

Tatiana is laidback and cool
Outgoing and generous, the Tatiana's amongst you love to be around other people, heading to the latest restaurants, bars and art gallery openings in the city for a long evening out with friends both old and new. You stand out because of your quiet self confidence and thoughtful, generous nature. You love to give gifts, listen empathetically and are generally a chilled happy person to be around.
Clothing style: Tatiana is happy and comfortable in lots of different styles but she knows which aspects of each archetype suit her the most. She is casual and laid back but can easy rock a sequin too!
Tatiana's style challenge: “There is a team building day at work! and I need to dress down!”
Situations which call for anything other than something chic, casual and cool are a tougher call for you. Since you can blend so many different styles with ease though you can draw on them all a little and opt for something in a soft, natural fabric, with a sensuously loose fit and maybe add a bit of glam with a sassy, elegant off shoulder or hit of sparkle.

Carolyn is led by the head, not the heart
If you are like Carolyn then you are reliable and organised (with both your time and belongings), with a place for everything. You are a clear communicator, take a logical approach to life, work (too) hard and is considered very helpful, even motivational, when people call upon you for support (which they do - often.)
Clothing style: you should not go for anything too flashy, but rather looks for beautiful quality in beautiful conservative, structured and elegant fits. You look perfectly put together in classic styling from tuxedo dresses to jeans and a crisp white shirt.
Carolyn's style challenge: “I’m going to a wedding in a field!” A happy, hippy-style party in a field with haystacks is far from Carolyn’s (or your) idea of comfort.
You need to invest in a dress which can be worn both casually and more formally. A neutral colour like off-white, taupe or pale grey, with a classic or simple pattern and some gentle shaping. This will be an easy go-to for these kinds of occasions. Add a scarf and/or accessories to dress it up, or wear with white sneakers to dress down!
