All about the Classic

Hello and welcome back to The Extravagant! Welcome to blogmas day . . . 11? Excuse my little break I took; I didn't have any pre-made posts left and I was busy with my orchestra concert.

Back to the topic at hand, today we are going to be talking about the Classic fashion persona. If you read the post of day 4, you have already taken the persona quiz (if not, it's linked right here). However, a quiz can only tell you so much. So I'm going to dedicate one post to each persona to explain them the best I can. We're starting with the Classic!

You may be a Classic if:

• you never want to be overdressed or underdressed

• you like tailored pieces without much detail

• torn jeans are not your favorite

• dainty jewelry > bold jewelry

• you need your outfits to match

• you are proud to be conservative and traditional

• you have school spirit

• you love to shop at Hollister

• you would never wear something from a runway; those clothes are not for real people

• you are a high self monitor

• you feel most confident in unquestionably appropriate clothing

• you aren't a shop-till-you-drop girl

• you want to make a good impression, but don't need to be getting compliments

• you never liked bright/dark makeup

• you have a signature look

• you shop at long-standing brands

Classic people you may know:

• Kate Middleton

• Audrey Hepburn

• Taylor Swift

• Anne Hathaway

• Matilda Djerf

Tips for Classics:

• Buy bottoms in solid colors to get the most out of your closet.

• Buy basic items in multiple colors if you find a piece you love.

• Always make sure you have a white tee and black turtleneck ready to wear.

• Try to stick to a color palette when shopping. It will be easier to mix and match pieces.

• Before buying an item of clothing, try to imagine 3 outfits you can make with it without repeating other pieces in the outfits.

• If matching is important to you, then invest in matching sets

• Sometimes, you can feel like you're wearing the same thing everyday. Don't be afraid to change it up and pair things you normally wouldn't together.

• Don't buy on impulse or because someone else says to. it will be a waste of money.

• Update your wardrobe with accessories. you can add bags, sunglasses, jewelry, belts, socks, shoes, shoe accessories, legwarmers, arm-warmers, hats, gloves, etc.

• If you want to get into the world of pattern mixing, choose the same pattern in the same color, but different sizes. For example, you can wear a large plaid coat and small plaid pants.

Questions to ask yourself:

• Based on the description you read, do you think you are a Classic? It doesn't matter what you got on the quiz. Answer honestly.

• When/where do you dress like a Classic? (eg. school, to see family)

• What are some pieces you own that a Classic would love?

• What are some pieces you want to buy that a Classic would like?

• Name some Classics you know in your life.
