Just wondering what other ISFJs like to wear.

What colours do you like to wear?
How do you accessorise?
Do you put your outfits together the night before? or have clothes that you always wear together?
How modestly do you dress?

(and any other noteworthy things)

Great thread!

What colours do you like to wear?
Used to be dark. Now I tend to wear more bright colors.

How do you accessorise?
Because I can't wear any accessories in the course I'm taking, so I don't wear any accessories. However if I were to go to some parties, I like to wear a necklace and a bracelet. I don't like to wear rings at all.

Do you put your outfits together the night before? or have clothes that you always wear together?
No, usually don't. Unless I know I'll be in a rush of going somewhere the day after.


How modestly do you dress?
Used to be very conservative. Now better. I used to not like wearing shorts. Now I love wearing them. Skirts too. But I don't ever wear any deep V or something that are see through.


any other noteworthy things
I like wearing T-shirts with words on it.
For shoes, I like wearing sneakers. I don't like wearing high heels.

This is a really fun thread idea!!!

Colors: I will wear black, white, gray, pink, purple, blue, and green a lot. For pants, I'll also wear navy and khaki. I am not as crazy over red, orange, yellow (pretty colors, but not pretty on me!) or brown (not a fan of brown).

Accessories: I don't do accessories in most cases. If I have a purse to put my stuff in and a watch so that I can tell the time, life is good. If I am going out to an event where I need to wear a dress or a nice outfit, occasionally I may wear a necklace.

Planning outfits: I have not planned outfits in the past and just picked whatever I felt like wearing in the morning, but I may start planning them the night before this year. Problem being, I have to wear business casual to classes this year (studying in a masters program in business), and that may mean I need to spend some time steaming clothes the night before so that they aren't wrinkly.

Conservatism: I have in the past had troubles with wearing shorts because it was ingrained in my head (by my schools' dress codes) that most shorts are inappropriate. Now I sometimes wear shorts, but in most cases I wear them as pajama bottoms or as exercise clothes. I don't wear shorts in public very much, except for exercising. I do not often wear miniskirts, but occasionally I will wear a mini-skirt when I feel like it. I will not wear clothes that show cleavage.

Other: I really like wearing knee socks with fun patterns on them. I think I have ten pairs of them. Most days I'll just wear jeans/pants with whatever top I have (I have many types, from t-shirts to plaid shirts to polos to tunics). My shoes are flip-flops or sneakers or ballet flats. I don't like heels very much. I will wear a university sweatshirt or a jacket to keep me warm inside. But unfortunately I won't be able to wear most of these things this year since I must wear business casual. My ESFJ friend introduced me to casual dresses this year, so I do own a few casual dresses that I can wear (mainly because I got all of them for less than $10 a piece at the end of the season).

I also will say that I like getting deals when I shop. I hate getting brand names (for expensive prices) when I can find a knock off version for cheaper.

Not an ISFJ, but my best friend is and she is really into fashion. I hope that's alright :)

What colours do you like to wear?
She is really into neutrals, taupes, browns, and white. She does like prints and knits, textures-usually floral and feminine. If she does wear a color, it's usually bright and special for some reason (like a bright red tank or a blue floral sundress, etc.)

How do you accessorize?
She has a turquoise ring she loves, generally silver jewelry opposed to gold. Leather belts and sometimes a slinky beanie when she feels fit. She also loves brown leather boots or strappy sandals.

Do you put your outfits together the night before? or have clothes that you always wear together?
I think she usually looks at the weather forecast in the morning, and then chooses her outfit according to it. I know that the second she buys something new, she will want to wear it. She tends to mix and match for the most part, she is very particular about her outfits and remembers where she wears things so she doesn't usually repeat the exact same one often, unless she really loves it.

How modestly do you dress?
She is not the most modest dresser, that's for sure, but she doesn't dress slutty. Only sometimes there's a little too much cleavage...but generally she is only the slightest bit modest.

I'm guessing this is open to guys although a couple of questions seem a little "girly" :laughing:

What colours do you like to wear?
Pretty much any colour apart from pink. Pink clashes with my colouring :crazy: I've had at least one orange t-shirt for as long as I remember.

I refuse to wear exclusively black trousers at work so have a brown and a beige pair as well, which may go against policy but no-one can find the policy (and I practically work in HR :dry:). All my shirts have some kind of pattern on them although I did have a plain pale blue one until my sister had yet another accident with hair dye...

I got some trainers for my 22nd birthday (four years ago) and still haven't worked out what colour they are (part purple, yellow, turquoise, silver, red and orange with black trim/laces) - they are the perfect representation of my lack of style.

How do you accessorise?
I have a couple of watches, one round and very black the other big, square and gold. I want a ring but can't find a meaningful one (ideally a Victorian memento mori skull with Emerald eyes... not fussy at all :laughing:). The only other accessory I have is my "armadillo" backpack which draws a lot of attention for some reason.

Do you put your outfits together the night before? or have clothes that you always wear together?
I've only planned outfits for social gatherings when I know where we're going - planning for daily wear is impossible given that in England there is no air con so a hot day means wearing the thinnest shirt possible (I work in an office so trousers are a necessity and I wear short sleeves year round because they think the heating needs to make it as hot as summer even when it's -10*C outside :confused:).

Out of work I have only recently learnt not to wear a blue t-shirt with similarly blue jeans, other than that anything goes :crazy:

How modestly do you dress?
I'm a redhead so sunburn is an issue which means I keep my shirt on no matter how hot and I know how to pull my jeans up - not because I'm ashamed of my boxers but because my mum taught me how to get dressed in a way that means I can run if needs be!

(and any other noteworthy things)
Not too sure how to say this but I think I take clothing way too seriously all round?

I cannot get my head around the idea that wearing something says that you like what you're wearing and nothing else, as was suggested to me recently. If it's meaningless I don't want to wear it, which means I'm wearing stuff that meant something five years ago but is now meaningless anyway...

I also struggle to turn off my "ethical perfection" switch which has meant that I've tried to buy only organic cotton or bamboo shirts, or those made out of recycled plastic bottles and/or fairtrade or made in a non third world country (to avoid sweatshop labour). Failing that it must be a brand I know will last for ages like the Ben Sherman shirt I've worn to work at least once a fourtnight for over 5 years - your wouldn't know :happy: I don't care how great it looks or what brand label is attached if it doesn't fit at least one of these criteria I'm not buying it :proud:

What colours do you like to wear?
I tend to go for more earthy tones in my clothes. My most common are tan, brown, green, blue, black, and grey. People have told me I look really good in orange and red, but I never really wear them. I have a purple shirt I wear sometimes too. :D I also never wear jeans. I had to for two of my jobs and anyone who saw me in my work clothes said there was something strange about how I looked, but they couldn't put there finger on it. I always had to tell them I was wearing jeans and then they realize they've never seen me with jeans.

How do you accessorize?
I don't really. I have some green U-shaped earrings 12G. I have this grey sack that's my "purse" but I really wish I had a messenger bag because I mostly just use it for books/pens/pencils. Once school starts up again I no longer have a "purse", just a backpack. :p

Do you put your outfits together the night before? or have clothes that you always wear together?
I just kind of throw an outfit together. I have a general method of putting outfits together, but for the most part I just kinda wear the same types of outfits. I'll plan sometimes though. I like to switch between my sun dress (recent fashion of mine, used to hate dresses, but I like these casual ones) and casual skirt stuff and then my business casual and then my super comfy baggy clothes.

How modestly do you dress?
For the longest time I had a problem with having my legs exposed. When I wore shorter skirts (Not super short, still at or barely above my knee) that I liked I would find knee high socks to cover up most of my legs. I really like knee high and thigh high socks, but sometimes I'm afraid that they look slutty so I also use them for like this paper-boyish outfit I have. I tend to dress in comfy and baggier clothes. Although this has caused some confusion with a few people who see me in baggy clothes with a short hair cut or a hat covering my hair and call me sir. (I like being pretty androgynous actually.) Men's clothes tend to be comfier and covers more so I like them a lot. The least modest thing I wear is V-neck shirts sometimes cause I hate having things touch my neck or my swimsuit which consists of swimming shorts and a top that reveals my upper back a bit.

Other?
As for my style I'm sort of a tomboy. I like to switch between very seemingly masculine clothes one day and then feminine another. For shoes I normally will have 1 pair I wear all the time and then my others sort of just sort of disappear. Right now my pair of choice are a pair of nicer Sketcher sandals my mom bought for me. (Usually I just get those $1 Old Navy ones to last me one summer then I throw them out, but these are nice and sturdy ones.) Later it will probably be a pair of flats until it's snowing everyday then it'll be tennis shoes unless I get new boots. Then the same flats again in the Spring until I can wear flipflops again. XD I find myself wishing I had more fashionable accessories here and there or there or nicer looking clothes, but I really can't afford it so I mostly just wear t-shirts and khaki pants/shorts or pinstripe pants. I have some stuff with characters, little designs, or words on them and I really like striped things. So I try and wear those more often cause they're nicer, but then I wear the crap out of them and you can tell. :p

Bringing this thread back!

What colours do you like to wear?
White, black, gray, dark blue... colors that are non-showy. What really matters to me is the texture of the clothing. I like good quality clothes, even if they might cost more yet look simple. It might seem boring or plain to some people, but I think it's sort of timeless. Also, even if my outfit is really plain, I spend most of my time getting ready on my hair and make-up, so it's all balanced out in the end.

How do you accessorize?
I don't wear much jewelry really, but if I do, it's usually silver, and very simple, like a couple of matching bracelets, or just ear rings and a ring and that's it. I own maybe 5-6 purses that I've ordered online and they're all black, and my wallet it also black. As for shoes recently I've been wearing black leather winter boots since it's winter, and in the summer I wear plain Keds or something similar.

Do you put your outfits together the night before? or have clothes that you always wear together?
I never put outfits together, until I actually go out. I might have some kind of idea of what I want to wear but I never plan ahead.

How modestly do you dress?
I've never been a fan of showing much skin, but I like tight clothes (I only own skinny jeans, for example).
