You're a fashionista!
You're a party animal and
you like to be the centre
of attention. You're
trendy and you care
about your appearance
but be careful you don't
come across as shallow
or vain.
You might have some trendy
items in your wardrobe, but in
general you go for a casual look
rather than a formal one. You're
down-to-earth and have a
carefree attitude to clothes.
That's why you like practical
clothes like sportswear. You feel
comfortable in your own skin,
and people like you because
you're easy-going and you go
with the flow.
You're not interested in
following trends and you tend
to be a little rebellious. You're
against 'fast-fashion'* and you
believe in buying good-quality
clothes that last a long time.
You like to know where your
clothes are made, and you
don't mind paying a bit more
for ethical brands.
