Now Find Your Dominant Style
Now you have an image of each of the main style types, we're going to have a bit of fun to help you to work out what sort of style most suits your feminine personality. Run through the checklists and tick the statements that apply to you.
Answering the checklist is not meant to be a definitive process. Use it simply to expand your awareness of what you are like. You'd be amazed how many girls haven't even considered these points.
When you've finished, add up the number of ticks you have in each category. The more boxes you tick in each style category, the more dominant that style, and whichever section has the most ticks, that is your dominant style.
