   If you chose mostly A, you have a classic sense of style! You like simple, clean, and traditional pieces. You opt for a timeless look because the silhouette and colors rarely change. It’s always ladylike, classic, and often tailored.

   If you chose mostly B, you are chic, defined by a powerful look and sharp lines that seem to come together in an effortless way. It is often monochromatic and combined with bold accessories.

   If you chose mostly C, you have a whimsical style that is playful and appears to be “thrown together” but is actually a thoughtful combination of colors and patterns. If you’re whimsical, you’re usually young at heart and your look is ethereal and romantic.

   If you chose mostly D, bohemian style is relaxed, lived-in, or funky, and incorporates offbeat accessories and usually lots of denim and suede. It’s a relaxed look with an emphasis on natural fabrics and earth tones.

   If you chose mostly E, Avant-garde is an ultramodern style that uses fashion as an extension of your creativity. It often seeks to make a dramatic statement on a background of mostly black.
