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 essentials? Do you find yourself reaching for romantic, ruffly pieces—or have activewear on repeat? Maybe you like a little of everything, and don’t know where to start? (No judgment—all style choices are beloved here.)
Yes, figuring out your 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 people like you.
Combining our in-depth conversations with this extensive data, we came to identify 10 unique, yet simple, categories we call style types (from classic to bold and everything in between—check out full details below). Through our exclusive Stitch Fix 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 makes shopping on your own a little less stressful—and a lot more fun.
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. Ready to get your StyleFile? Take our style quiz today.

The Style Types
1. Classic
You love timeless, versatile styles you can wear on repeat. Understated, clean lines and polished pieces are always a yes.
2. Active
Sporty, casual and cool with a focus on ease for your on-the-go life. Comfort is your winning style.
3. Boho
Your free spirit longs for flowy, eclectic looks. You love to layer prints and textures, and you’ve never met a dress you didn’t like.
4. Coastal
Relaxed and beachy, your style motto is “vacay, everyday.” You’re into breezy shapes and fabrics with a west coast vibe.
5. Preppy
You study the classics—think plaids, loafers and button-downs. From blazers to stripes, traditional with a twist is your thing.
6. Edgy
You like to stand out. Animal prints are a neutral. You show off in sharp silhouettes, leather, lace and moto jackets.
7. Bold
More is definitely more. You reach for eclectic prints, artsy patterns, vivid colors, bold metallics…sometimes in a single outfit.
8. Heritage
You’re outdoorsy (in spirit, for sure). Flannels, plaids, denim and prairie prints are go-tos, and western-wear always inspires.
9. Romantic
Whimsical and soft, your dream wardrobe is filled with uber-feminine details like ruffles, florals and flowy shapes.
10. Contemporary
You’re a modernist—you favor minimal and fashion-forward styles. Mixing the timeless with the trending is just your speed.
