What’s Your Trend Cycle Identity?

1. When you hear about a brand-new trend, what's your first instinct?

I'm already on it — I spotted it weeks ago

I look into it immediately and decide if it's worth trying

I wait to see if it catches on before committing

I roll my eyes — it'll probably be forgotten in a month

2. How would you describe your personal style?

Avant-garde and experimental — always pushing boundaries

Current and polished — I wear what's in right now

Vintage-inspired with a modern twist

Classic and refined — quality over everything

3. Your friend shows you a viral fashion item. You think it's a bit much. What do you do?

I already wore something like that six months ago

I keep an open mind — maybe it'll grow on me

I pass — if everyone's wearing it, it's not for me

I stick to what I know looks good on me

4. How do you feel about nostalgia in fashion and pop culture?

I love it — the past had the best aesthetics

It's fun, but I prefer looking forward

I enjoy it when it's done tastefully

Nostalgia is just recycled ideas dressed up as new

5. When shopping, what drives your decisions most?

What's new and not widely available yet

What's trending and getting great reviews

Timeless quality that will last for years

Vintage or secondhand pieces with character

6. How do you feel when a trend you loved goes completely mainstream?

Annoyed — it was special before everyone jumped on it

Happy — I knew it was good before the rest did

Excited — now I can share it with everyone

Indifferent — I wasn't following it for the trend anyway

7. Which social media behavior sounds most like you?

I post content that starts conversations before trends hit

I share trending content with my own spin on it

I love sharing popular posts and tagging friends

I deliberately avoid posting whatever's trending

8. A decade-old fashion era is making a comeback. How do you react?

I'm thrilled — I've been waiting for this revival!

I try it out to see if it suits me now

I already moved past that era — what's next?

I stick to my classics — revivals feel forced to me

9. How do your friends describe your taste?

Always ahead of the game

Stylish and current without being over the top

Unique and hard to define

Elegant and consistently put-together

10. What's your relationship with fast fashion?

I avoid it — I prefer rare, independent finds

I use it to try trends without breaking the bank

I prefer vintage and thrift over fast fashion

I invest in fewer, better-quality pieces instead

11. You're invited to a themed party. How do you approach your outfit?

I create something totally original that no one else will think of

I research the theme and put together something on-trend

I dig through vintage shops for the perfect authentic look

I go for something classic and well-executed

12. How do you feel about wearing something that's considered 'out of style'?

I love it — I'm bringing it back before anyone else does

Fine by me — I wear what I like, not what's trending

Uncomfortable — I like to stay current

Unbothered — true classics are never out of style
