As a fashion designer, I’ve always been deeply inspired by the stories told through clothing, makeup, and hair. Every era has its own charm, its own spirit, and a completely unique way of expressing beauty. And often, I like to draw inspiration from them.
Perhaps, like me, you’ve once felt curiously connected to a specific era. Some days, I feel nostalgic for the grace and elegance of the Regency era. Other days, I want to dance in a sparkly 1920s dress. And sometimes, I like to incorporate a rebellious touch into my outfits that reminds me of 90s grunge. That’s the magic of style: it allows us to live many lives through what we wear.
Your favorite pieces and details (whether you like ruffles, sleek silhouettes, loose hair, or layers of accessories) can hint at something deeper. Your personality, the way you dress, the music you listen to, and the art that moves you all reflect a style rooted in a specific era.
So today, through some fun and thoughtful questions, we’ll discover:

your fashion time maschine is calculating...
we’re almost there
Count the repeated letters. The one that repeats the most will be the era to which your style belongs.
The following most common ones can also give you an idea of your style.
Regency Era
You are passionate about grace, softness, and subtle details. Your style is understated yet very refined. High waistlines, flowing fabrics, and delicate accessories characterized this era. You favor soft silhouettes and light, warm colors; you seek to express timeless beauty. There is something deeply poetic about your choices, almost as if you are always ready to step into a Jane Austen scene.
“There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart.”
Jane Austen
Victorian Era
There’s a subtle intensity to your style, as well as a touch of mystery, sophistication, and a hint of romance. You love structure and elegance, and you see fashion as a way of telling stories. Corsets, lace, high collars, and long skirts were all popular during this era. You like outfits with depth, which make you feel powerful and mysterious at the same time.
“I am no bird; and no net catches me.”
Charlotte Brontë
The Roaring Twenties
Your style is bold, modern, and glamorous. You radiate style, fun, and a touch of rebellion. You are playful with your style and love to combine sparkle with elegant lines. Fringes, dropped waistlines, beads, bold lips: these are elements that distinguished this era. You’re not afraid to try something new and love to express yourself freely, less structure, more dazzle, without losing elegance.
“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”
Coco Chanel
1950s
Your style is nostalgic, feminine, and polished. Just like the girls of the 50s, you like cinched waists, full skirts, pretty prints, and soft waves in your hair. You love structure, but you also love softness.
Your style says: “put together” without being stiff. You bring back the golden age of ladylike glamour, but always with your own twist.
“Elegance is the only beauty that never fades.”
Audrey Hepburn
1960s
You are playful, artistic, and always a little ahead of your time. You love bold yet refined outfits: shift dresses, graphic prints, and precise details. You’re inspired by modernity and believe less is more.
You’re drawn to smart silhouettes and the energy of change. You’re not afraid to experiment, and you’ve never needed permission to be cool.
“Life is a party. Dress like it.”
Audrey Hepburn
2000’s
You’re experimental, energetic, and not afraid to play. Crop tops, shiny fabrics, baguette bags, and tinted sunglasses are totally your thing, or at least something that remains present even in small details, we could also say that glitter is practically your neutral. You dress based on mood, vibe, and whatever excites you in the moment.
You thrive on change, and you don’t take style (or life) too seriously.
“Too much is never enough.”
Paris Hilton
Rococo
Your heart belongs to drama, luxury, and details; lush fabrics, intricate details. You’re not afraid to be noticed, and your outfits feel like a celebration of beauty. You live for beauty, whether it’s in fashion, art, or how you decorate your home. You are inspired by fantasy and opulence, and you dress like life itself is a gallery.
”Fashion is the mirror of history”
Louis XIV
1970s
You live for freedom and self-expression, you follow your intuition, not trends. Flowing dresses, suede jackets, embroidery, and a touch of wanderlust define your wardrobe. You crave comfort, connection, and clothes that move as freely as you do. Your style is a form of spiritual expression. You’re grounded but creative, dreamy but confident.
“Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.”
Janis Joplin
1990s
Your style is effortlessly cool. Oversized pieces, distressed denim, graphic tees, and a little edge, it’s more about attitude than trends. You dress to feel like yourself, not to impress.
You’re introspective and real. If it doesn’t feel authentic, you won’t wear it. You’re here for the vibe.
“Come as you are.”
Nirvana
1980s
You love drama and strength, you’re confident and bold. Shoulder pads, bold prints, metallics, and big hair are your kind of thing. You see fashion as power, and you wear your confidence out loud.
You’re ambitious and stylish, and you don’t settle for subtlety. Whether it’s glam or business chic you’re style is about being seen, heard and remembered.
“I am my own experiment. I am my own work of art.”
Madonna
