My style identity analysis method is a little different from the 3-word-method, I also don’t feel the need to limit it to just those 3; rather I like combining outer keywords/aesthetics with the inner adjectives to ensure you always feel like yourself no matter what elements of style you include in your looks - this video takes inspiration from the above but with my own spin.

I love that you feature/credit the folks who have steered you to this idea - a mark of class, integrity, and collaboration!

@whiskersBOOSTER2 Год назад

This may be the best video I’ve seen on understanding our style and why we don’t always feel comfortable in an outfit. Thank you so much!!

@UseLess_dk Год назад

Thank you! ❤️ I’m happy to hear this gave you more clarity!

@leahlw2853 Год назад

I also loved the outfit examples where you went "too far" in one of your style directions and how adding in another style word re-balanced it and created some interesting tension.

@bozhanaraleva Год назад

I love how you put it "unfold you, not just cover you up"! ❤

@krystals8456 Год назад

I want to look competent and capable, but also approachable. I'm still trying to figure out what that looks like within my wardrobe, lol

@lesleyc2704 Год назад

I can relate to your words. As an older professional woman who works with younger people, my words are visible, engaging and confident. This usually translates into minimal, classic, and effortless.

@MindyB767 Год назад

This video is perfection…what a wonderful way to clearly explain, and show how style directions can be used. Thanks so much for doing this😊

@robynnordstrom7799 Год назад

The episode “How to Dress” from Articles of Interest also covered this topic in a really helpful way. I took the Indyx style quiz, which helped me nail down those three descriptors that I had such a hard time defining for myself (relaxed, minimalist, bohemian). It was such an “Aha!” moment, and has definitely helped me decide what sorts of sewing projects to pursue.

@sarahmitchell821 10 месяцев назад

It was so great seeing the too-romantic and too-casual looks then contrasted with the outfits that are spot on for you!

@carolcox9443 Год назад

New twist I hadn’t picked up on before-do my inner words match my outer style words? When I list my personality/inner world descriptors, I see a disconnect between those and what I’ve been thinking are my style words. Fascinating to ponder!

@AlexLouiseWest Год назад

Very interesting comment.

@UseLess_dk Год назад

For me, one of my main descriptors is "Casual". And words like undone, natural and effortless feel very connected with that. But it's an interesting discovery for sure! If there's a disconnect it doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong at all! In fact, contrasts are what makes this so fun and interesting to work with. E.g. let's say one of your outer words is "classic" but you're inner adjective are more like casual, natural, free... who says those can't be connected even if they're opposites? You'd just have to find materials and fits that feel less strict, more flowy and easy-going and pay attention to styling; roll up the sleeves and add casual contrasts like sneakers or basic t-shirts for example. Contrasts are powerful like that!

@cindynorris5983 Год назад

Great video. We have the same words. I like to mix highs and lows but most important I want to look put together while looking effortless. So awesome to have someone articulate it in a way that makes sense!

@conniepleasantnails Год назад

Oooo…I can so relate to your sweatshirt photo. I too would feel too casual in that especially if I were out of the house. I intentionally buy “causal” clothes now. I have 3 and they are all matching sets. Black mock neck, boxy top with wide leg pants, a olive green pull on pant with banded legs at ankle with matching lightweight jacket, and a neutral colored short sleeve boxy top with wide pants. They all look very intentional and polished causal is what I call it without making me feel sloppy. I am a classic, modern, casual. So I like things with a bit of a modern look like a boxy shirt or a cropped wide pant or a top with an angled hemline since I wear mostly solids and a few stripes. Great video … Audrey Coyne does great videos like this too. ❤😊 She’s another one of my favs on youtube

@mimishimaineko1173 Год назад

Brava!🧡In an ideal world (stress on "ideal"), I would love my style to be "cozy, understated, self-assured". In the real world, ...

@sallytaitchison-gould740 Год назад

Thanks Signe, got my 3 words at last! With the use of "creative" + relaxed + feminine.

@florbelaribeiro3992 Год назад

CCC style is my favourite. Casual, confortable and clean 😊 (for clean, I also mean, no harmful materials for the body and the environment).

@kristy_Henry Год назад

for the longest time i tried to find style words, that described my whole style, which was just impossible, because my summer style is totally different from winter. now i just have two different sets of style words 😅

@moon8783 Год назад

Great, informative video! Also loved the examples to clarify the message! 🥰

@user-vv7uz8cj5w Год назад

Great video! 👍 I’m still working in defining my style more clearly….it seems to be a little bit of everything…..but so often function becomes the most important and it’s a struggle to maintain a sense of style.

@moumitadeb9337 Год назад

This is a totally amazing video…the best I have seen on this topic ! Love your content 👍

@cathylynnpietranton Год назад

Thank you so much Signe. This is a different way of looking at your style ❤

@gracedarlenemcpherson9079 Год назад

That blue sweater looks like perfection on you!

@kathysteele3071 Год назад

Great video! I am enjoying your MasterClass and would highly recommend it! You have a gentle, non judgemental style which is nice for those of us trying to learn. I am still on the lookout for that Seattle Mariners vintage t shirt you wore a few years ago…even if I don’t find it, the search is fun.

@kathykluger5395 Год назад

I loved this video, Signe! It was very helpful and really made me think about my key words.

@user-hj6bp5sw3x 11 месяцев назад

Great advice and yes definitely a sense of direction like signposts to our essence both internal and externally. Casual,Creative & Feminine.

@rebecareyes8223 Год назад

Great video❤Thank you for this information. I have been exploring the 3 words method. I think it makes you appreciate your wardrobe more and certainly helps making informed purchases with less regrets 😊

@Ophelia441 11 месяцев назад

Hi Signe! I have loved your channel for awhile now and have seen a lot of buzz about the style keywords method for awhile now. My biggest issue is that my style keywords change fairly drastically depending on if it is spring/summer or fall/winter. I haven’t yet seen any style influencers talk about this and I just wonder if having seasonal style words resonates with you or anyone else in the slow fashion space and if it’s still authentic to the spirit of the method…

@L0U1N2A3R Год назад

love the examples, thanks ❤

@nataliebonislawski1719 Год назад

You look absolutely gorgeous in This color!!!

@33Jenesis Год назад

My wardrobe is rather eclectic. I have pieces that would fit your 3 key words. I also have pieces to fit Alyssa’s 3 key words. The common thread is material quality in fabric, leather, and accessories. I think I will stick to eclectic and eccentric. I don’t want to use effortless because ppl can tell I put effort into dressing. I don’t use elegant because my preference to mix dressy with casual. I feel the happiest when I wear something unique and unexpected. I can’t stand tee and jeans with sneakers. I know it is safe and comfy but I feel I take an easy way out.

@shsvc15 Год назад

I just went through Alison B’s video on this and came up with the words Rural Quirky and Glamorous but now I’ve watched yours I’m thinking Functional Creative and Glamorous ;)

@heidimeigs5192 Год назад

Signe, you have most likely covered this before and I’ve just forgotten….it’s not a hard and fast rule that those “10 pieces everyone must have” are things that work for everyone. Some of these pieces will certainly help a lot of women build “their” wardrobe. For instance I do have a demon jacket, but not a moto jacket…..I have a navy linen dress, but not a LBD. I still wear straight leg jeans at 65, but don’t own any dressy trousers. It’s very hot and humid in the summer and early autumn where I live, so I wear a LOT of linen…button up shirts, casual tops, dresses, and pants. A lot of women do not like linen because it wrinkles. They may choose to have pure cotton and/or silk blouses. Some women find their style early in life and never change it. Some change and adapt to the different stages of their lives, frequently evolving their look. What you said about feeling comfortable and “like yourself” in certain clothes is absolutely the key. I’ve always had a strong sense of self so my style has remained fairly consistent throughout my so-far long life. Classic, simple and suited to my build…I’m still an inverted triangle….and very casual hippie/boho. This is who I am. It takes a lot of trial and error for others. You have a lovely way of explaining things and I’m sure that this has helped a lot of women clarify their thoughts regarding what they wear. Keep up your great work. 💖

@beverleymarshall9673 Год назад

Never thought about key words🤔going to give it ago 👍💕

@AlexLouiseWest Год назад

I have nouns rather than adjectives, including “sea”. I spend a lot of time swimming or walking on the beach, so I need clothes which are practical for those activities. But in wider contexts I still like to wear blues, cool greens and lavender, silver jewellery for a bit of shimmer, light and floaty linen and cotton… you get the idea.

@UseLess_dk Год назад

Oh I LOVE this approach too! Wonderful way of approaching it 😍

@KristaHarrisSB Год назад

Excellent video! I love how you give examples. I’ve always felt my style was Classic/Casual/Bohemian. Comfortable classics with a touch of beachy/boho. Perhaps the boho/beachy touch is because I live in Southern California. How do you think where you live factors into your style words and how much in sync should they be?

@carolinalarrain9358 Год назад

Very good!

@AgataZKurnatowic Год назад

Oh… I’ve just realized What I do wrong! I’m just too… usually casual but sometimes too romantic too… very good video!! Thank You, Signe!

@tracypatil8841 Год назад

Hey Signe I have been thinking about my words to describe my style. I seem to have a different and more classic style in winter and a much more casual style in summer is that usual? Your vlog has made it easier to identify the adjectives it's just the seasonality I'm struggling with. Thanks 😊

@madeleinebani Год назад

Thank you! ❤❤❤❤

@melindaferreira9879 Год назад

Yes!! I watched Alyssa's video on this subject months ago and it really helped define my style so much! Definitely a game changer!!

@szfrj Год назад

I love adjectives for how I want to feel in my clothes… like womanly and tall… sometimes there is a perfectly ok piece of clothing but it does not make me feel either of those things, so I’m just learning to give those a miss

@szfrj Год назад

❤ thank you

@tbm_mx 11 месяцев назад

My personal style key words are: First of all I live in a tropical zone with lots of humidity . So for me I like: 1.-Quality ( cotton, linen, or silk) 2.-Comfortable clothes 3.- Elegant ( as possible a dress and nice sandals can make me look dressed up. NO shorts and plastic sandals anymore 🙄🤣

@ruzannaamiraghyan3713 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! My blue sweater is from a Danish brand called Le Pirol, sadly no longer in business though ❤️

@allinclusive4943 Год назад

So wichtig, diese Art von Aufklärung! Danke! Ich bin mein Leben lang im roten Bereich, unter Druck, getrieben... fühlte mich immer falsch, beschämt und gestresst... Ich bin frühkindlich mehrfach traumatisiert und mit einem Narzissten aufgewachsen. Erst in den 40ern erkannte ich, dass ich traumatisiert bin. Ich arbeite nach und nach alles auf und warte gerade auf ne Reha. ich bin seit Jahrzehnten in einer Beziehung und erkenne erst jetzt, dass ich auch darin leider unbewusst ein Retrauma gefunden habe: ein emotional nicht verfügbarer Partner (ein guter, netter Mensch!) . Es hat sich so viel schon positiv verändert, mein Nervensystem ist deutlich regulierter, aber ich weiß nicht, wie ich mit diesem Partner weiterleben kann... Ich brauche emotionale Nähe...

@lestranged Год назад

Mine is majority casual, probably at least 60-75% casual. The remainder is split between edgy and creative.

@emrej2527 Год назад

I think casual edgy and effortless with some feminine touches

@FS-rb2bh Год назад

With the three words I have a problem: I am a romantic, it is clear. With a touch of natural or relaxed comfortable, a bit of classic and edgy. And no, I can't give up my edgy, it's part of me, my personality and my story. In my vision of the world, tattoos, leather bikers, leather pants and skirts, corsets, band shirts are not especially alternative, I have grown up with all of that. For me there is nothing more classic than the look of the groups of the 70s. Am I very rare? I have salvation? Can it happen that a style consultant does not make me give up my fourth element? Also specifically my edgy style is more feminine, influenced by my heartier romantic side.

@UseLess_dk Год назад

You can have more style words than just 3! That's just a guideline - you are all the words you feel connected to and that's okay ❤ Some people benefit from having few words because too many make them feel confused and overwhelmed, but for others having too few might feel a little too restricted.

@luisinha2759 Год назад

loved the video topic as usual, that’s exactly how i put together my outfits balancing out different keywords… but you explained it so visually! great tips plus you look extra amazing in this one 🤍🤍

@_inflection3209 Год назад

I really don't think defining yourself that way is very helpful. Style changes constantly so does preferences so why box yourself in? Despite my loud opinions on the matter I'm still going to watch this because I like supporting you! Lol 💚

@UseLess_dk Год назад

To me it’s about finding peace with who you are at a given time or place in life. I’m aware that style changes over time as you age so this is an exercise that can be repeated. It might not work for everyone but it surely has helped me figure out who I am! It has provided me with direction and it truly has helped me steer clear of buying certain styles, items etc. that just wouldn’t feel right for me. Also, as I say in the video don’t feel like you have to limit yourself to just a few words. As human beings, we are incredibly complex and it’s about finding your own best way with the tool! With that, thanks for watching anyway 😄🙏🏻

@barbb1672 Год назад

So funny, I have been following you for several years, seeing you in the romantic outfit felt totally off, had I just seen a picture of you in that outfit, I probably would not have recognised you

@barbb1672 Год назад

By the way, the comparison between the „wrong“ and improved was very helpful, thank you!
