The Style Synergy Quiz
Distinguish yourself with your style
Have you found that you’re not being given the respect you deserve in your position?
Perhaps occasionally nerves and self-doubt creep in, as you think: “Do I look out of place?”
Meanwhile, you look at your clothes and you see very few that would show you in your best light at your next important work meeting.
If that sounds like you, then you may be looking to:
Carry yourself with complete credibility
⭐
Take your place at the table with quiet – or loud – confidence
⭐
Build a wardrobe of outfits that sustain a state of competence and flow
That makes complete sense, because:
When you wear looks that convey your distinctive essence, you enjoy the confidence of feeling fully congruent, inside and out.
PLUS
It’s a little-known styling secret that style that is aligned with your true self is the style you carry best
AND…
This is also the style that removes constant moments of aggravation and annoyance caused by wearing clothes that would be better on someone else, instead keeping you in flow throughout the day so you can achieve your highest state of competence.
Your Style Synergy Type clarifies the distinctive essence of your style
By taking this five minute quiz, you’ll discover:
The name of your Style Synergy type – a punchy, memorable summary of your most credible, congruent style
The three key dimensions of your Style Synergy Type – Three phrases that articulate your style and define your most influential looks
Five areas of style that convey your distinct essence – A list of five important areas to consider as you take the key dimensions and design your synergised style
You’ll receive a summary snapshot just like this one, which you may choose to save to your phone or computer
“Those are words I strongly connect with and would like to project.”

FAQ: What is the basis of the Style Synergy Types?
I’ve based the Style Synergy Types on one of the most well-researched and widely accepted personality frameworks called the Big Five, or ‘OCEAN’ model of psychological traits. The five traits are openness to experience, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness and neuroticism. The quiz asks a few key questions about these traits, and how they tend to play out in our style choices.
I noticed after styling hundreds of women that there are clear connections between our personalities and style. When we align with these connections, our style feels fantastic to wear. Interestingly, this style is also the one that women consistently feel amazing wearing and carry better than any other.
The quiz methodology draws on you university studies in psychology and Honours-level studies in survey methodology.
FAQ: Is there anything other than style synergy that will help land my best personal style?
Yes. Your Style Synergy Type is the basis of your style personality, and style personality is one of the three elements which create fabulous personal style that always looks great. The other two Style Essentials are your best colours and your body shape strategy.
In styling sessions, we often personalise style personality much more than the insights through the quiz, but the quiz result gives you a fantastic clear perspective on where to start.
FAQ: Will the quiz results include visuals of outfits I could wear?
I haven’t included visuals in the results. Style personality can be further defined and tailored, based on a woman’s lifestyle, taste and preferences. Brand-worthy personal style needs to align with each woman’s colours and body shape in addition to her style personality. I’m avoiding giving you misdirection and hoping instead that the key dimensions will be the help you need at this point.

I was feeling uninspired with what I had in my wardrobe, I had no confidence. I was stuck in a weird place of ‘I don’t’ knows’. It felt like everything I put on wasn’t good or wasn’t right!
Nina’s prior-to-shopping process was so necessary to go through – to discuss what colours will work for me, how to learn that and how to use them. Getting heaps more confidence – by going through my wardrobe and ditching all the clothes that didn’t work for me. Combined has helped me identify what my wardrobe is! I loved that I didn’t have to explain it to her – she just figured it out and simplified it all for me. Now I feel confident experimenting with heaps of new items, fits, and colours.
I can’t recommend it enough.

Before I worked with Nina, I had a wardrobe full of clothes that were nice enough, but I didn’t feel good about them, and I wasn’t exactly sure why I wasn’t reaching for them. It was that classic problem of “nothing to wear”. I kept buying clothes to solve this problem, but still didn’t feel like I was building a wardrobe I loved. Things that seemed great in the shop when I tried them on, I often changed my mind about later and never wore.
When I started working with Nina, all of this changed. I got clear guidance on what would work for me and what wouldn’t (in terms of colour, body shape and style), along with support to assess the clothes I was considering buying to make sure they would work for me. This is going to save me so much money in the long run.
I finally knew what my personal style was, because Nina amazingly managed to distil my tastes (in terms of personal style) into one accurate sentence, based on the homework exercise I did. This was so valuable and meant that buying clothes was much less ‘hit and miss’. I finally knew what my own style was all about, rather than guessing and often allowing in clothes that weren’t really ‘me’.
I also loved the pre-shopping that Nina did for me. I hate clothes shopping but she took the pain out of it by finding clothes that I would never normally try on, in shops I would normally never go into – and many of the pieces she chose were amazing. It was eye-opening and I have become more open now to trying things on rather than just automatically writing things off before I’ve tried them.
If you are considering Nina’s styling services but unsure, I think you won’t regret it if you decide to go ahead. Life is too short to wear clothes and colours that you don’t love. Nina has finally given me the confidence to say no to stuff that looks just ‘OK’ and stop compromising. I have had loads of compliments on my new wardrobe & feel fabulous when I wear my new clothes. I look forward to working with her in the future.

I wish I could rate Nina 6 stars! I went to her because I felt completely clueless and overwhelmed when I went clothes shopping, but after a few sessions, Nina has transformed my image to reflect my personality. She has great taste and explains style tricks/tips/rules in a way that is fun and easy to understand. Everything she does is so personalised and I love the end result. I can’t recommend her enough!

Nina helped me refresh my wardrobe and colours. She was very easy to work with and totally flexible with timings. She helped me pick out some fabulous pieces and taught me how to combine them to make my own personal style. Shopping was a breeze because all I had to do was try on the pieces she selected.
Nina is great to work with and I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone wanting a new look or an update to your wardrobe.

Nina, you were wonderful at being so flexible, open-minded and receptive to anything I presented, including the limited time and opportunity I had for shopping. It was amazing to see that you could assess and change to suit once we had finally met in-the-flesh as well.
I felt like you listened and prepared superbly given I wasn’t exactly sure what I needed myself. I really appreciated the clear communication lines from the very beginning. I think you did very well to pick up on my essential needs even though I was uncertain this one trip should include that too. Very cool! When I unpacked and showed my husband my purchases, he was very impressed with the choices of jackets (especially my most expensive item; which he adores).
Thank you for being my wonderful support person during my journey of re-discovery! It’s been a fantastic trip and I look forward to working with you again.

Nina was great through the whole process, taking the time to really listen to the look I wanted to achieve to suit my personality and reflect it in my clothes choices. I had come to a standstill with my wardrobe and couldn’t see what was right for me anymore.
Nina helped me with what shapes were flattering and the colours that suited me best which was amazing to then experience how focused your shopping could then be armed with that knowledge!
Nina is a lovely lady and fun to go shopping with! I enjoyed the whole experience and would highly recommend her.
My whole attitude is changing towards how I put an outfit together. Having the tools and being able to make better choices has really helped my confidence.
Thanks Nina!

Choosing Nina as my stylist was one of the best investments I made over the last year! I knew what looked good on me but my styling range was so narrow and predictable – I wanted to change things up. Nina has an amazing eye for what’s flattering and what’s merely meh. Her genuine and non-judgmental approach made me feel comfortable to open up my wardrobe for her to help me create new outfit combinations and go shopping with me. I highly recommend Style Gorgeous!

I had been struggling with loving my clothes – I felt I was wasting money – getting way more misses than hits. It felt like a big step to use the services of a Personal Stylist, however after seeing such brilliant results for women who had used such services, I knew it was time for me to do this. I spent less than half of my shopping budget; I got way more than I expected to – and I love every single thing.
Style Gorgeous was definitely the right choice for me. From the very first phone call, I was surprised, delighted, and super impressed. I have already recommended Style Gorgeous to at least 50 women, and I will be recommending to 5000 more!

I contacted Nina because I felt like my wardrobe needed a lift and I didn’t quite know how to do it or where to start. From the minute I contacted Nina she made me feel at ease and comfortable with the process, which like she says on her website will be fun, it was!
The process Nina takes you through will teach you about colour, what suits you and she will even share some great styling tips.
I had a great time shopping with Nina and got some great new clothes for my wardrobe and I am certain I will be booking another shopping trip in the future.
Thanks Nina.

I have a few new pieces too and I feel fabulous and have my confidence back!

I knew what I liked & didn’t want to lose those clothes. However, Nina facilitated a great session where she concentrated on what I liked and who I am. Nina’s service was over and above what I was expecting. It was so detailed, i.e. Pre-service questions, pre-shop, wardrobe assessment, after care service. She was also very respectful. I think it’s great value for anyone who wants to improve their self image and find more confidence in looking good for any occasion.

I decided to work with Nina because I wanted to get a few good outfits for work and maybe casual/going out, and learn what suits my figure and what I can feel comfortable in. The best thing about my new clothes and outfits is I know that they suit my body type and they are the right colours for me. That means I feel comfortable and more confident. My workmate complimented me on Monday when I wore two of the new items. I would recommend Nina to anyone that mentions they aren’t so confident with shopping and have similar struggles that I have. I have already mentioned her to a lady at work!

Understanding my style and colours has made such a huge difference to how I feel about myself- and it’s not just about confidence, I feel much more aligned with myself and that is such a wonderful feeling:)

Nina at Style Gorgeous is incredible. I had a unique request and she was able to tailor her service to what I needed in both personal styling and to benefit my business. Nina is professional, respectful, willing to go above and beyond and the value her knowledge and skill has brought both to my personal styling and for my customers as a fashion designer/seamstress has been well above what I paid.
Highly, highly recommended.

From the outset Nina was professional. She was through in her approach and followed up an email with a phone call to ascertain what we wanted from our session. Nina listened to what we wanted to achieve and took us to places we would never have found on our own. She identified what colours suited us and made it so easy to find things that worked. Her knowledge of foot sizing was invaluable as buying boots was part of our brief.
We had an amazing shopping experience with Nina and had so much fun in a relaxed way. Highly recommend Nina.

Nina helped me to define and express my style after losing quite a bit of weight, by having a look at my existing wardrobe, my style icons, and establishing my colours and body shape. I now have a more direct style, knowing what suits my parameters.
