On the journey to becoming your best-dressed self, the hardest part is often something that sounds simple on the surface: how to figure out your personal style. Do you live in classic everyday essentials? Do you find yourself reaching for rugged, utilitarian boots—or do you have your favorite boat shoes on repeat? Maybe you like a little of everything, and don’t know where to start?

Yes, figuring out your personal style can feel overwhelming. Let’s do it together. 

To make this easier, we started by talking with real Stitch Fix clients, Stylists and our internal team of fashion editors to talk about style: what we understand (and what we don’t), and how we tend to describe pieces or looks we like. We also looked to a resource unique to Stitch Fix: the billions of style and fit insights shared with us from the more than 100 million Fixes we’ve sent to men like you.

Combining our in-depth conversations with this extensive data, we came to identify 7 unique, yet simple, categories we call style types (from classic to rugged and everything in between—check out full details below). Through our exclusive Stitch Fix men’s style quiz, we identify your personal combination of up to five style types, delivering a multi-layered style personality.

You’ll get your personalized quiz results in our all-new StyleFile, a dynamic experience that uses your style quiz answers to identify your unique style personality.

Of course, your StyleFile helps your Stitch Fix Stylist curate a Fix that’s incredibly personal to you.  Another pro? It helps you save time and stress while shopping. 

Which brings us back to the question at hand: how to find your personal clothing style. Make it easy with the ultimate style shortcut—our exclusive style quiz. It’s simple: answer some basic questions about your style preferences, and get your results in your personalized StyleFile. 

In the meantime, check out our easy guide to our style types, below. Hopefully, it’s a handy tool that can help you discover how to dress in a way that really feels like you. 

The 7 Men’s Style Types

1. Classic

You turn to timeless, versatile styles you can wear on repeat. Understated, clean lines and simple pieces are always on tap.

2. Active 

Sporty and casual with an eye on performance to keep up with your active life. From golf and gym to everything in between, comfort is your winning style.

3. Coastal

Chill vibes. Relaxed and effortless, your style is laid back with a west-coast feel.

 

4. Bold

Being different is your thing. You’re not afraid to stand out in statement prints, unexpected patterns and bright colors.

5. Preppy

You study the classics—think plaids, boat shoes and button-downs. From blazers to stripes, traditional with a twist is your zone.

 

6. Rugged

You’re inspired by the great outdoors. Functional flannels, plaids, denim and utility styles are go-tos.

 

7. Contemporary

You’re a modernist—you favor minimal-cool styles. Mixing the timeless with the trending is just your speed.
