Question of the Hour: What your style? Women and men of Sl , Tell me!

Posted on 7:50 AM by AnniePaster




What your style? and what does style mean to you?


A simple enough question but when you really ask your shelf do you really know the answers?

In my time in Sl roaming around blogging Ive come to meet many characters and people many of which have very different traits features and style, am sure for some it easy to state there style but for others it easier said then done. So i thought it be fun to do a survey if a way to see what people personal style and what style means to them hoping to come up with all different types of results.

"My personal style really reflects the way i feel sometimes it can change by the day but always comes down to what i feels a classic look that I think I've come to be known fornothing too over the top but never down with the dogs."

I personal feel your style tell quite a bit about you even for those who aren't into the whole idea of fashion and aren't big shoppers and into the latest trends, not saying you have be into that to have style or good style. And on that note what really is good style because am sure when we get dressed inSL or even Rl I don't think we put clothes on that will get people's attention but just show how grabs it in the way that we present ourselves and ourconfident. - Annie paster


"My style is NY Style, i love Ny and how they dress, very different then cali style, so when i get on sl i tend to play dress up with my avi and go for the new york look. Style means to me, self expression..what you wear can reflect many things, who you are, personality, and how you feel."

"I think "style" is a way of being. So saying someone "has got style" doesn't necessrily mean they are elegant, to me it just means they have a very specific way of bing and appearing (which, in any case, it's positive, cause it's a sign of having a strong personality). `

As for me, my personal style tends to be very simple. I like things that are beautiful without being "too much". Love the use of colour to add spice more than filling up a design with tiny patterns. So, well, being that what I personally like, the same idea is reflected in most of my creations:)-Clio Cardiff


These are just some of the answer from my survey , As you can see many of these answers are different some short and sweet , some needed more then just a few words to explain there style and what it means to them. It just shows us how different people really are and what the word "style" means to many.

One of the answers that I thought were really intresting were from Mystical Demina,


style, well thats a good question, there is simple answers like a particular characterstics of a look or behavior. But how to define it more conceptually to what it really is hehe, a good question.
looking at definitions I think this is interesting, Design, the process of creating something. Fashion, a prevailing mode of expression, e.g., clothing , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Style
Style (visual arts), in art and painting style can refer either to the aesthetic values followed in choosing what to paint (and how) or to the physical techniques employed. Style is more about the look, and design is more about creating the look, fashion is a group of styles more than a group, says prevailing style.

This actually what I do in work, so always find it interesting in other business things like branding when I desgin a system I have to break it down into its most basic parts, can think of them as atoms, then I have to look at how these peices related to each other for instance a company has employees, customers, etc, it is called object oeriented thinking objects can only have 3 basic types of relationship. An object can be of type of another object like a german shepard is a dog objects have have objects, like a dog has legs. They are the subparts of an object or objects can use objects a person opens the door, everything in the world uses those 3 relationships.

This view of style , and how he related it to so many driffrent topics have some great points and realy got me because althought it may seem like he`s saying style something we break down. Isnt that kinda of what we really do, pairing , matching changing , examing the look or outfit to see if it fits into the look your imanging or going for that picture in our heads.


I find really amazing how there be so many views on one word, really makes me think about some of the views and key points others may have on other topics , some bigger then fashion and style like , religon , lifestyles, war , just few of these examples and how small things can help the bigger picture.

Well am done rambling sorry this was such a long blog and the new one will be a full style card :). I hope hehe , I really think this survey went really well am so happy it did.
