Tally up the number of As, Bs, Cs, Ds and Es you chose and read the holiday shopping tips for your type.
If you chose mostly As, your style is Classic Glamour
You're driven by ideas of timeless femininity and good taste. You're not interested in what the "hot thing" today is: you know what looks beautiful on you and you're shopping for keeps. Build your holiday wardrobe around a long, body-skimming gown by Ralph Lauren, known for his sophisticated, ageless glamour. On a budget, hit a J Crew outlet in the U.S.
If you chose mostly Bs, your style is Trendsetting
You love what's new, but with a caveat: it can't be what everyone else is wearing. You're an early adopter and by the time the others have caught up, you've found a new look. We don't need to tell you where to shop, although this might be the time to invest in some estate jewelry for extra oomph for your dress-up occasions. Carole Tanenbaum Vintage Collection has some beautiful finds, or hit some estate sales yourself!
If you chose mostly Cs, your style is Casual Luxe
You're right: if you've got natural beauty and uncontrived style, you're already ahead of the game. For gals who like to take it easy, the holidays may be just as likely to include a pair of jeans with a flowy tunic by T-Bags (worn with Uggs at the ski lodge, of course), as a billowy gown by Dior by John Galliano. Okay, so you don't have Kate Hudson's wardrobe budget: hit your local Little India to buy a beautiful sari, instead.
If you chose mostly Ds, your style is Sexy Chic
You want a glamour-filled holiday season, and who can blame you? With a hectic schedule of romantic nights and photo-op-filled party-hopping to attend to, you need body-flaunting dresses to paint the town red in. Minis are back in, so if you've got what they take, flaunt it! Looking to splurge? Go for Roberto Cavalli. Or save? Roberto Cavalli for H&M, naturally.
If you chose mostly Es, your style is Business Formal
For you, work and play intermingle, so looking your best after hours usually means adapting what you were wearing during work hours, too. For a holiday luncheon, pair your skirt suits with a soft Holt Renfrew private label cashmere sweater and Hermès scarf, and for nights, bring power dressing to a new level with a sleek black Hugo Boss pantsuit. Belt it over the jacket and wear a racy silk charmeuse shirt underneath for a bit of edge. (Need to save? Try Femme de Carriere for work/holiday attire at a lower, but still corporate price point.)
