About This Quiz
How well do you know what the opposite sex wears to a soiree, a beach vacation, or a first date? You might be surprised at what your style says about your relationship status.
Your fashion sense says so much about you, whether you're always making suggestions of hot kicks for your friends or designing your own wardrobe. But can it say so much that your relationship status is a giveaway? Style is subjective, but what it says about you might be more scientific than you think. Do you remember what your sweetie wore on that first date, or did it fade into the background as their personality made a bigger impact? How much does style impact the way you view dating - do you do the shopping in your partnership, or do you expect them to buy for you? Are you an accessory maven, or are you trying too hard to stick out of the crowd?
This quiz will help you learn which parts of your style are envied by everyone around you, and what you might want to think twice about before you buy. Learn more about classic style, the importance of accessories, and whether you should build a future of dressing the opposite sex or keep working on your own wardrobe before you head into somebody else's closet.ÂÂ
