Kid
The word “gamine” in French means little girl and the gamine style is that of the iconic Audrey Hepburn.

Boho-chic
The definition “boho” is the abbreviation for bohémien. Bohémiens were the artists of the late 19th century who wanted to depart from the traditional lifestyle of the time, even in clothing.
Today the language of this style speaks with vintage optical or floral prints in warm or pastel colors, fringes here and there, long skirts, tunics, eco-fur, chiffon shirts with abundant sleeves, floral jumpsuits.
Lots of bangles, the wide-brimmed hat, the soft boots in cognac-colored leather or suede, the palazzo or flared jeans… In short, the outfits of the Coachella Music Festival held every year in California!
If you belong to this style you are surely a creative and a little naïve woman , you feel free to express yourself without conditioning or fear. Remember that this style is not easily adaptable to the office or to very formal situations.
TomBoy
The TomBoy style is purely masculine applied to women.Do you know the legendary Marlene Dietrich in black tuxedo?

Fatale
The fatal style is pure sensuality and femininity, whose undisputed icon is Marilyn Monroe .
Probably among all the fashion styles it is the most loved style by many, many men, but women are no less! The fatal style is to feel ‘woman’ with a capital d, flaunting it with pride.
The basic garments of this style are the high-waisted and body-hugging pencil skirt, the low-cut tops tucked into the skirt with the belt, the tight-fitting chemisier at the waist and the 50s dress with deep V-neck and bell skirt.
Even the high-waisted trousers that caress the curves, the very low-cut décolleté or the open toe cannot be missing, combined with lipstick and nail polish with intense colors, fiery red in the first place.
If your style is fatal you are an extrovert woman , very confident and gritty , while retaining a delicate grace . the snug 50s-style dress and stilettos, if you have to go to the office choose the shirt dress with a kitten heel. Just dose and that’s it, your fatal style will remain intact and you will never go wrong.
Fashion Addicted
It is not easy to be a true fashion addicted because sometimes it is really a job and not a simple style among the styles of fashion: it requires constant updating and a high budget to always grab the latest model … of anything!
The fashion addicted style is the one that is perfectly embodied in the Carrie of Sex and the city : outfits that make you think “but how did he ever make them?”.
There are no basic items of this style, there is nothing basic, classic, banal or predictable, rather they are unexpected, original, out of the lines and sometimes even a bit risky to make up the wardrobes of fashionistas.
What matters most is how they are mixed: the true expert is a master of mix and match .
If you have a fashion style of this type you communicate creativity , extroversion , love for research and design.The limit of this style can be exaggeration and ostentation so try to dose the trendy pieces with simpler and cleaner pieces .
