The 8 Style Roots

Below is a representation of each of the 8 style roots so you can get a feel for how they work. This is how you want to present yourself to the world! If you want to be seen as a strong and capable person in all spheres of your life, you might pick 'mountain'. If you want to be seen like someone who is dark or gothic you might pick 'moon'. If you want to be seen as feminine and sexy you might pick 'fire'. There are many aesthetics/trends/fashions encompassed within each of these descriptors that change. There is enormous range within each type and the photos below are not the only way that each root can be manifested.

Moon

Moon can be described as dark and rebellious. It is inspired by night time, decay and chaos.

Sun

Sun can be described as creative, wild and experimental. It is inspired by bright summer, tropical locations and play.

Flower

Flower can be described as sweet, delicate and pretty. It is inspired by the picturesque, life in bloom and tranquility.

Fire

Fire can be described as sensual and luxurious. It is inspired by electricity, lush or volcanic landscapes and burning.

Earth

Earth can be described as natural and - there is no other way to say it (I have tried) - earthy. It is inspired by the dirt, woodland creatures and the ground as untouched by man.

Mushroom

Mushroom can be described as classic and elegant. It is inspired by symmetry, simple landscapes and how nature falls into place.

Mountain

Mountain can be described as strong and powerful. It is inspired by the sublime, force and awe-inspiring size like caverns or valleys.

Stone

Stone can be described as relaxed and at ease. It is inspired by city streets or hiking.
