HoC style analysis

13 replies

ImCoveredInBeeeees · 12/07/2012 11:11

Does anyone know if there is an online guide to figuring out which of the style personalities I am likely to be? I have already had the HoC colour analysis earlier this year, which I loved. I'm a winter, and I have sorted out my wardrobe to a great extent. I will definitely be investing in the style day too at some point in the near future, but Im a bit impatient and was wondering if there are any resources to help me guess what style personality I might be!

Also, for those of you who have had the style analysis, what is the actual process? Is there an equivalent to draping etc?

Don't know, but it sounds interesting.

Like you I've had the colour analysis but I wouldn't choose to go back to the same person for the style bit. She was too middle-aged for me even though the colours were spot on.

Hope someone else comes along soon :)

Yes, that was exactly my experience too! She got the colours just right, I'm sure, but I just don't know how she would do in terms of style!

Something here.

Thanks, DonaAna.

Still need more help - I have no idea which I am! Looks subtle too, will defo need proper analysis, I think.

Anyone know how they do it? Is it like, "which of these jackets do you prefer? Which shoes? This or this"

Try this first. Then google image search different styles - for example classic gamine.

The link below was posted on here and I am told it pretty much covers the same as a style day would. I can't be sure because I have not done a style day (I just had my colours done) but it may be a good place to start.

I think you really need to have it done by HoC consultant. Shame that you didn't get the right vibe from yours. I went to a really nice lady in Oxfordshire (if that's any help PM me and I will give you her details)

There was quite a lot to the style day, and I have found it massively useful, more so than the colour analysis really.

I'm dramatic classic. Can't do casual (no trainers or boyfriend jeans), good with tunic tops. Absolutely no ditsy prints but good with bold, abstract prints and statement chunky jewellery.

I had the style analysis and it was, IMO, at least as life changing a the colour analysis. Maybe even more so, as knowing my own personality a bit more has made me much more comfortable with who I am in lots of ways.

It was incredibly in depth and a very tiring day, I can't really see how you could work out the same thing from reading a few online descriptions.

Interesting. I too have done the colour analysis (which was great) but not sure about doing the style thing - partly due to cost and partly as the HoC lady was rather middle aged and I'm mid 20s. She had me try on a few clothes and said they looked great but they were things I can't imagine wearing for another couple of decades!
