How Will This Test Help You?

The Style Core Test can be used as a tool to make you more confident in yourself and your style, enabling you to target your shopping and avoid costly mistakes. Once you determine your style core, finding clothes that make you feel comfortable will be easier, which in turn will give you a greater sense of playfulness and provide more styling options for the items you already have in your wardrobe.

What Is a Style Core?

There are six style cores: classic, feminine, rock-chick, simple, bohemian and casual.

In its purest form, the core is neutral. This means that none of the words above are better, more interesting, or more exciting than any of the others. For greater clarity, the descriptions of the cores are somewhat stylized. We all own a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, for instance. So for the present purposes, I mention these items only if they’re highly characteristic of a particular style core.

Thankfully, as human beings we’re quite a bit more nuanced than that. So you can easily own a curve-hugging cocktail dress and be a casual core, own a basic cardigan and be a bohemian core, or own a feminine lace shirt and be a rock-chick core. The point is: these particular items will not represent a distinct tendency in your wardrobe.

The 80/20-Rule

The characteristics of your overall choice of clothing will indicate your particular core—this is the general idea. Around 80 percent of the clothes you choose will correspond to the description of one of the six style cores.

So make sure to be 100 percent honest when venturing out to determine your style core—otherwise it simply won’t work for you.
