I love the outfit game and when they ask what's my style I'm stuck. I know some styles like classy and flowery but I don't know the rest like edgy or rocker so could you please describe the kind of clothes that are in each category thank you.

Now rocker is different from grunge, but kinda the same thing as edgy. It's more "non-traditional" like not the style that everyone's doing and the style rocker isn't really mainstream.

Think of all the sections in Forever 21. They have like Love21 which is very feminine but then they have the very graphic things too. I think the styles differ by perspective too.

Edgy: Looks like something you would wear to a rock concert. Very 'heavy' style with things like leather jackets, combat boots, and boyfriend jeans. Can be balanced with more girly or fitted pieces. Uses symbols like crosses and skulls, and jewelry and clothes often have spikes or studs. Mesh, leather, and lace are also commonly used.

Girly: Mostly skirts and dresses. Other characteristics are florals, bright or pastel colors, sweetheart neckline, cardigans, brogues, ballet flats, and the occasional sequins.

Glam: Despite not being a fan, I always think of Kim Kardashian. Heels are worn with most outfits, and a lot of the clothes are inspired by clubbing/NYE outfits - Bodycon dresses, sequin detailing, patent leather, black, white, and gold with the occasional red or blue.

Classic: Pearls, silk, chiffon. Often vintage inspired, and always very lady like. Midi skirts, shift dresses, lightweight blouses, and cardigans are all essentials. Uses neutrals or pastels in terms of color, and the overall look is meant to be quite soft. It's the more "mature" version of a girly style.
Preppy: Think country club, or GAP. Polo shirts, V-neck sweaters, cardigans, navy, white, red, no too-short dresses or too-low necklines, oxfords, stripes, plaid, cargo shorts, bootcut or straight leg jeans, riding boots. Like a school uniform but upgraded and updated.

Boho: Look like you just came from a music festival or a surf shop (or the 70s!). Hippie-chic. Laid-back and loose styles, mismatched prints, bralets, lace, crochet, maxi skirt or dresses, distressing (like ripped jeans or worn out bomber jacket), flip flops, toe ring, anklet, ear or finger cuff, flower crown. Go on freepeople.com and you'll get the idea.

Glad I could help Jasmine :) That is of course just my personal interpretation. There are no solid definitions when it comes to fashion, and a lot of styles blend into each other (for instance, despite being opposites, a maxi skirt could work well with either a boho or preppy style).

I'd say rocker is something like leather moto jackets, leather leggings, boots, smokey eye, dark lipstick..
