2. Classic Looks
 
Women with this look tend to be conservative and appreciate simple elegance that flatters average-sized, balanced figures. If you fall into this category, neat and well-styled haircuts are complimentary to your look. Stay away from angular haircuts in order to avoid looking harsh or severe.
 
Select accessories that are simple but graceful, such as pearl necklaces or plain gold chains. When choosing clothing, avoid trendy styles in favor of timeless garments in quality fabrics. These choices will allow others to see your classic, intelligent style without viewing you as stuffy or dull.
 
3. Gamin
 
Women in this category are often described as "sporty" and "natural," with body types that are slim or athletic. If you fit this description, you often look good with casual hairstyles that are unfussy and natural, such as medium-length hair that can be worn down or pulled into a simple ponytail.
 
Choose accessories that are small and refined to avoid looking sloppy or too casual. This style should be reflected in clothing that is simple, but well-fitted. You may look good in athletic wear and preppy styles. These choices will emphasize your easygoing nature while keeping your look fresh, elegant, and feminine.

4. Dramatic
 
Women perceived as dramatic tend to be tall and angular, with striking eyes and facial features. If you resemble this type, you can successfully wear a wide variety of hairstyles, including very daring haircuts. Accessories should be bold and bright to avoid being overshadowed by other elements of your dramatic appearance.
 
When choosing clothing, look for items that are unique and very fashion-forward because overly simple styles can look frumpy. These choices will create an impression of confidence and poise.
 
While you may not fit perfectly into any one of these categories, choose one that best describes your overall appearance. If you can be described as an ingenue and you find that people do not take you seriously, incorporate elements of a classic look into your style to create a sense of seriousness and intelligence.
 
If people fail to see your fun-loving side, add dramatic style elements to embolden your appearance. Considering these factors can help you match your appearance to your personality, enabling you to create the impression that you want to communicate.
