Is Your Personality Type Into Spring Fashion Trends?
I still remember standing in front of my mirror spring, shoes scattered, blouses tossed about, and a pile of “what was I thinking?” impulse buys on the floor. I was chasing every trend I saw in magazines, blogs, and scrolling Pinterest, hoping the “right” outfit would finally make me feel put-together. But here’s the truth: every trend I tried just felt like another costume. Somewhere in that mess of fabric, I realized… fashion isn’t about following their rules. It’s about discovering my own.
Sound familiar? Maybe you’ve felt the pull too—keeping up with glossy must-haves only to feel like they don’t quite “fit” you, literally or spiritually. If so, this post is for you.
Fashion Isn’t About Fitting In
Here’s a mindset shift I want you to consider: What if fashion isn’t about fitting into a mold, but about stepping fully into who you already are?
Designers and influencers may create trends from the outside, but your wardrobe has the power to express your inner world. Fashion becomes lighter (and fun again!) when you see it not as “getting it right” but as telling the truth of you.
This is where personality typing comes in. Your personality archetype carries its own spiritual flavor—whether you’re fun-loving and bold, soulful and understated, or classic with a twist. When you align your wardrobe with your inner type, you stop chasing and start expressing.
Why Fit In When You Were Born to Stand Out Anna Wintour, Vogue (the Spirited Type, ESTP)
Skipping Trends…Rejecting Labels… Embracing Spirit…
The old mindset: “Am I stylish enough? Am I trendy enough?”
The new mindset: “How can I dress in ways that help me live my true story?”
Think of Sharon Stone at the Oscars, wearing that unforgettable Gap tee with her skirt. Or Gwen Stefani showing up boldly and unapologetically herself, season after season. These moments matter not because of what they wore, but because the clothes told the truth—they matched the spirit within.
When you begin to see fashion as a reflection of your personality type, every outfit becomes an act of spiritual alignment. Your choices feel less like “What should I wear?” and more like “How do I want to shine today?”
Follow your gut when it comes to fashion, realizing your “True Self” is Always in Style. Nina Zapala, Founder Spiritual Personality Typing (the Curious Type, ENTP)
Embrace Your Style
Have you noticed that people are drawn to you and you get loads more compliments when you genuinely embrace your own fashion style? It’s likely because you’re so comfortable being yourself! When your clothes truly reflect who you are, you naturally feel great in them. Sure, we don’t always get it perfect, but isn’t it a blast to experiment and have fun with it?
Are You A Fashion Trendsetter or a Trend Skipper
Some of the most inspiring style icons aren’t chasing youth or following every trend—they’re redefining what it means to shine with age. Women like Iris Apfel, the legendary fashion and homewares designer, continued to dazzle us with bold, whimsical self-expression. Sharon Stone, even at 60+, shows us that confidence and ease make every outfit iconic. And then there’s Lynn Slater, a social justice professor turned Accidental Icon, who proved that authenticity alone can transform you into a voice—and vision—of timeless style.
Their secret isn’t about “anti-aging” or competing with younger influencers. It’s about reframing aging as an expansion of freedom, wisdom, and individuality. They remind us: fashion has no expiration date, and neither does your spirit.
So, are you ready to be a trendsetter or skip the trends and make your own fashion rules? The choice is always yours, remember that!
Is Your Personality Type Into Spring Fashion Trends?
Listed below, and of course, this is my 2¢ on each type’s fashion sense. Since I don’t personally know all of you intimately, I can’t possibly predict if my style suggestions are even close. However, I have spent the last ten years studying typology, so hopefully, I’m at least hitting the target. Here again, take what you love and leave the rest. Happy shopping!
Are you a trendsetter, a trend hunter, or do you have IDGAF attitude? Let’s look and see.

About Spiritual Personality Typing
My goal is to shift perspectives around MBTI® personality typing—to break free from stereotypes and oversimplifications. Remember, your personality type is sacred. Your persona is just a mask.
It’s my intention that you begin to see your archetype as a sacred tool—an expression of your true self.
Of course, good things in life come to those who do the work. Take responsibility and make personality typing, infused with spiritual understanding, a daily practice. You’ll soon realize that your rational self and your soul self rely on each other to ignite a soulful meaningful life. When you fully embrace this concept, a profound awakening occurs. It moves you closer to your truth, liberating you from a purposeless existence.
You’ll be ready for any occasion, situation, or event—whether it’s travel, relationships, career, passion, or purpose. Ahh, living a meaningful life—isn’t that what we all desire?
Who Is Nina Zapala?
I published a book and founded Spiritual Personality Typing℠ during what I call my midlife tsunami — a season that shook every illusion and surfaced my deepest truths. Out of loss and upheaval, I awakened to what truly matters: the union of psychology and spirituality, the marriage between soul and self, the path to becoming characteristically authentic.
Old-school typology only tells half the story. Without soul, life becomes lifeless; we bow to ego, chasing material illusions. But with Spiritual Personality Typing, you remember who you truly are, why you came here, and how you are meant to serve. For women 60+, this is not about ‘anti-aging.’ It is about full-on authentic aging — walking courageously, unapologetically yourself, wildly free, while bringing forth your sacred legacy
Here’s what I now know: “Every wrinkle holds a story, every scar a sacred map. When we deny our authentic self, our soul withers; when we embrace her, we bloom into timelessness; unapologetic, authentic.
