About This Quiz

Like it or not, when we walk into a room what most people will likely first notice about us is what we're wearing. Even more, once someone has checked out your outfit, there's a good chance they already know a little bit about the type of person you are. Sure, it's not good to judge a book by its cover, but we can all agree that what you're wearing can really say a lot about what's going on inside.

Are you someone who your friends would describe as a trendsetter, or do you typically keep it very simple and kind of downplay your wardrobe? Does pastel hair frighten or excite you? What can your beauty regimen say about you? All of the ways we present ourselves through our clothing and make-up gives us the opportunity to tell the world who we are. Really, it is one of the easiest ways we can totally express ourselves.

What you choose to wear every day is not arbitrary, and we want to see if we can figure out what type of personality most matches you based on how you answer the questions in this quiz. Find out if we do actually have you all figured out based on your sense of style!
