Personal style is a medium of art and creation. It’s an expression that builds a visual story, and allows people to express everything from their hobbies, work, where you’re from, what music you listen to, and so much more. The beauty is that it is personal and unique.

It's an expression of who you are. Some people might have issues with themselves but through clothes find better ways of expressing who they are.

Personal style to me is how you express yourself to the world. Everyone has different preferences when it comes to style and it shows how we want to present ourselves.

It means being myself. Since I went to high school people recognized my style, I’ve been authentic and bold. It represents who I am in terms of personality, playfulness, colors and many others.

A way to feel confident! It's definitely a form of self-expression, but to me it's a way to feel confident knowing that I have a cute outfit on.

Definitely a form of self-expression. but even more so, a way to direct how you're perceived by others. not in a way that you care what they think, but more that you're portraying the desired vision of yourself to others. like, I LOVE Lolita fashion, but my face just doesn't suit cutesy styles, as it looks quite serious and mature. So, I enjoy dressing cute for myself but if I'm going out, I know that I physically cannot be as cute as my vision of the outfit requires of me for me to be perceived as a "cutie pie". So I normally lean towards more 'masculine' and elegant jackets and trousers because I also like to be a bit intimidating and I can pull that off way better.

Personal style to me is a way of expressing my true self and what I find aesthetically pleasing. I love everything minimalist and Scandinavian.

Personal style is one of the most important things we can have; it allows others to see who we are and is one of the things that is truly unique about us.

Looking good and looking consistently like “you”. It’s actually the visual aesthetic of your personal brand; it showcases who you are and who you want others to perceive you as.

All my family have chosen our top three words to describe our style. This has helped each of us discover more about ourselves. We have also been inspired by each others personal style. I consider my style as minimal. But as I learn more about my daughter’s style it gives me the courage to explore a new piece of clothing to add to my style.

It means a lot, but I’m also aware it’s a privilege to be able to have personal style. It’s definitely become an extension of me as a person.

The way you express yourself through hair, clothes, accessories, decor, etc.

My style is me, I love hearing “that’s so Vilborg” on different clothes or outfits because I have a versatile style but still have a thing that people recognise. Everyone should experiment with style to find their own.

My style is a big part of my identity and one of the main ways i express myself, and as a genderqueer person, I also use fashion to express what I'm feeling.

Jeans - I wear them every day. I believe the right pair of jeans can be worn for any occasion.

It means wearing what I feel like when I feel like it. I like experimenting and wearing things that aren’t usually me, as well as being true to myself. We should all be able to customise our characters however we like, without feeling the need to stick to an aesthetic or trend. One day I'm super emo (I never left the phase), but the next I want to be a forest fairy or a businesswoman.
