Style archetype identification
Five primary archetypes — Classic, Romantic, Dramatic, Natural, and Creative — are cross-referenced with your physical analysis to identify your dominant and secondary expressions. The dominant archetype describes the style persona you project most naturally. The secondary describes the variation that adds dimension without contradiction. Neither is a prescription; both are a framework.
Outfit formulas for your archetype and body type
An outfit formula is a repeatable structural combination — not specific items but a proportional and textural recipe. For example: "structured mid-weight blazer + tapered trouser in a harmonious neutral + leather shoe with defined toe" for a Classic-Dramatic archetype with an Inverted Triangle silhouette. The formulas are calibrated to your body type from the silhouette analysis so they solve for both style identity and physical proportion simultaneously.
Fabric and texture direction
Each archetype is well-served by specific fabric weights, weaves, and textures that reinforce its visual language — and undermined by others. Heavy twills and clean jersey read Classic. Fluid drape and soft textures read Romantic. Sharp structure and unusual materials read Dramatic. The guide maps these to your archetype with specific fabric categories and gsm ranges where relevant.
Wardrobe architecture: what to keep, what to remove
The outfit formula guide includes a brief wardrobe audit framework: which item categories create the most outfit combinations for your archetype, which items are likely in your current wardrobe that do not serve your formula (and why they always feel slightly wrong), and which single category — if added — would create the largest increase in daily outfit quality. This is a decision framework, not a shopping list.
Applying your style archetype to specific occasions
The same archetype expresses differently across contexts. The guide covers how to modulate your formula for professional environments (where Classic often dominates), social contexts (where Romantic or Creative elements can surface), and formal occasions (where Dramatic structure elevates the overall presence). The goal is a coherent identity across all contexts, not a different persona for each.
