Spring Clean Your Closet: Reset Your Style Through Fashion Personality
Spring is the season of fresh starts. We open the windows, deep-clean the house, and let go of what no longer serves us. But what if you gave your closet that same kind of attention? If you’ve ever stood in front of a full wardrobe thinking, “I have nothing to wear,” you’re not alone. Usually, it’s not about needing more clothes. It’s about needing clarity. That’s where understanding your fashion personality can completely change the game.
Reflect on Your Style: Get Clear on Your Fashion Personality
Knowing your fashion personality can help remove the guesswork from your closet. These are the styles that make you feel comfortable in your own skin, not copying what social media or friends are wearing, but styles that feel authentic to you and boost your confidence like no other.
Most people actually have a primary and a secondary fashion personality, and mixing the two is a great way to refresh your look and keep it feeling dynamic. As you reset your wardrobe this spring, I highly recommend that you start with pieces that reflect your primary style first. Once you feel grounded in that, you can slowly layer in elements from other styles to keep things fresh.
Find Your Fashion Personality
Over the years, working as a stylist here in Albuquerque, I’ve noticed that people naturally gravitate toward certain colors, shapes, and fabrics. You might already see yourself in one of these descriptions.
Romantic
This look is soft and feminine, both in fashion and makeup. You likely love flowing fabrics, pastels, and floral prints. Pieces are often adorned with ribbons, lace, and bows, along with small, dainty shoulder bags and other aesthetic details.

Classic
Your style is timeless, elegant, and effortlessly put together. You gravitate toward tailored pieces like blazers and trousers, favoring high-quality fabrics and a refined color palette of navy, black, and red. Accessories are intentional and polished, often including leather handbags and scarves that elevate your look. Your makeup stays balanced and refined and is paired with a simple, polished hairstyle. Preppy style is also considered part of the classic style. This article is a great resource to start.
Natural or Relaxed
Comfort is your priority. You’re drawn into easy-care fabrics, simple jewelry, and neutral tones, creating a look that feels effortless, functional, and perfectly low-maintenance. Your choice of footwear often includes simple flats or low heels, and your makeup stays neutral and natural for both eyes and lips. Take a look at this style guide for building a closet that matches your chill vibe.
Dramatic or Expressive
You are a trendsetter who loves to be noticed. Your closet is full of bold colors, geometric prints, and statement accessories that reflect your vibrant energy. Your makeup is bold, especially when it comes to eye and lip color. Other expressive styles can include Bohemian, Architectural, Urban Street, and Rock styles.

Three Simple Spring Habits to Reset Your Personal Style
