Bridal Style: Wedding Dress Shopping By Personality Type

Bridal Style: Wedding Dress Shopping By Personality Type
The famous Myers Briggs personality test is back in fashion! What does it have to do with weddings, though? We decided to explore how personality affects our fashion choices! The better you understand yourself, how you shop, and your bridal style, the faster (and more stress-free) wedding dress shopping will be!

What is the Myers Briggs personality test?

If you aren’t familiar with the Myers Briggs personality test, it’s a famous method of analyzing personality by dividing people into 16 categories based on their preferences between four binary characteristics. The test attempts to determine whether your primary personality preference is extroverted or introverted, sensing or intuitive, thinking or feeling, and judging or perceiving. Each of these preferences is represented by a letter to make up your Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). (For example, an introverted, sensing, feeling, and judging personality is referred to as an ISFJ). If you don’t know your MBTI, take the Myers Briggs personality test before reading further.

Wedding dress shopping differs by personality type.

First, let’s break it down by the four characteristics and what they mean about your decision-making when it comes to wedding dress shopping. Of course, every individual is different, so don’t be surprised if you find you disagree with us. Maybe you didn’t get an accurate test result, or you’re somewhere in the middle on one (or more) of the characteristics. In addition, there’s quite a lot of variation between members of the same MBTI—not every ENTJ is exactly the same!

Are you Introverted or Extroverted?

Introverts tend to choose clothing by comfort. This could mean physically comfortable or the style they feel most comfortable in. Extroverts tend to use their style to communicate their personality, how they feel, or an image they want to portray.

Are you Intuitive or Sensing?

Sensing is all about the details, like intricate beading or the perfect accessory. Intuition is more concerned about the big picture and tends to forego accessories. N’s are more likely to consider future implications of a decision (for example, will the fit of this dress make movement difficult?), whereas S’s live in the moment.

Do you prefer Thinking or Feeling?

Feelers let emotions and expectations from family and friends influence their style decision. A Thinker will analyze and narrow down choices based on certain criteria, such as what type of fabric makes the most sense, what silhouette is the most flattering, etc.

Do you prefer Perceiving or Judging?

Judgers are more likely to have an organized plan or system for choosing their dress, whereas Perceivers are more likely to act spontaneously. A J is also more likely to follow rules about wedding dress shopping, such as timeline recommendations and wearing white. A P is more likely to do things on their own terms, such as consider a dress that isn’t specifically advertised as a ‘bridal gown.'

Find a bridal style to match your MBTI.

Here are some suggestions for the perfect bridal style and designer wedding gowns inspired by the Myers Briggs personality test. Do you agree or disagree: is personality type connected to our fashion choices?

I’m an INFP, but the suggested dress is not for me. I like the ISFJ and INTJ dresses the most of your choices. When I was shopping, I fell in love with a sparkly champagne gown with champagne belt. I didn’t get it because the proportions didn’t look good on my figure. That dress does fall in similar categories as your INFP dress. I like how you describe the thought processes, and I thought they were pretty accurate. I wish more wedding shops had that kind of training. I also wish I could have told my mother why I loved the champagne color for a wedding gown!!

Well-researched, haha, you know your INTJs. That dress is absolutely gorgeous. I’d definitely consider it if I were getting married, although I like the ISFJ dress a bit more.

I’m an INTP, and I like what they said about our choice of dress. Something simple and not too flashy, but with a hint of originality.

i am INFP but i prefer the ISFJ bridal gown style, i think the INFP’s too open as an introvert, but i agree with the bottom style of the gown, the colour choice (not ordinary white) and the belt, it makes a big different for sure, taste original

I would never in a million years have worn the ENFJ dress at my wedding. The ESTP is closest to what I would have worn.

I love the idea of making suggestions based on personality, but I felt like there was too much lace on the dress for my type. I am an INTJ, and I prefer things a bit less fussy.
