One Reds, oranges and basically anything bold will draw you in like a moth to the flame. Practical clothing and ready-to-wear fashion styles are the order of the day, as they need to be washed and ironed and at the ready for your active lifestyle. You love to be recognised so will often opt for your favourite signature piece. A short hairstyle or a slick pony-tail — and you’re ready for action.

Two Fun, feminine and flirty is your motto. Floral patterns will normally catch your attention as will flowing skirts, sheer blouses and bohemian styles. You like vintage clothing and may even enjoy making your own clothes. You tend to enjoy subtle hues so pinks, blues and greens are a good match for you. Keep your hair in tip-top condition with regular treatments and select fruity perfumes.

Three You love anything that makes you feel confident and may even be a focal point in your next conversation. You make quick decisions — you’ll grab that little number that catches your eye and will work out how to pay for it later. Fashionable bags, jewellery and accessories always appeal. Blues and silvers are the colours for you, and wearing the latest fashionable perfume will get your friends talking.

Four You tend to gravitate towards navy blues and earthy colours. Tailored suits and pants or shorts are your preferred style, you’ll leave the frills and ruffles for others to wear. Practical, no-nonsense, iron-friendly clothing is a must and you tend to only buy what you really need. Tried and tested perfumes, or one of the classics, are sure to please. Easy to manage hairstyles or cropped cuts are ideal.

Five There are a lot of clothes in your wardrobe and many have only been worn once! You tend to buy on impulse, however you have a fairly good sense of style so most of your pieces are still in-vogue. You love accessories and your motto is ‘the more the merrier’. You are also drawn to bold prints. Make sure you always have a jacket at the ready — being the spontaneous person you are, you never know when you could be out all night!

Six You love to be noticed and are always wearing the most fashionable designer duds. Nothing second hand or vintage for you, you opt for off-the-rack styles and love to look like a million dollars, which you usually do. You aim to please and like to impress. It’s all about quality with you, so opt for perfumes or body lotions that have staying power and a divine floral scent.

Seven Blues and purples tend to catch your eye, as does anything unusual and chic. You have a unique approach to fashion and you like something alternative that will grab attention. Nothing gaudy for you, but modern, simplistic and fashionable is a must. You don’t like to follow the crowd and will opt for something just that little bit different than the norm. A modern hairstyle or new hair colour will make you feel terrific, and oriental perfumes will get pulses racing.

Eight Bold and powerful, you have a stylish and sassy fashion sense and tend to gravitate towards darker colours or sleek new styles. Plunging necklines, mini skirts and stiletto heels are often part of your fashion must-haves. Red is the colour for you — painted nails and a splash of red lippie and you’re ready for action. A sleek hair-do gets the attention you are after and woody perfumes will add that extra bit of mystery.

Nine Your moods will reflect your fashion sense and you will often gravitate toward the colours you need on the day. You like to blend in with the crowd, so subtle tones and prints are generally your preference. Good quality shoes are a must, and you tend to have several pairs on standby. Being the sultry minx you are, you will be sensitive to fabric and texture and only the best will do. Musk perfumes are well suited to your personality.
