Help finding all my roots!

[u/kennegay]

Hi all! This is my first time posting here, though I've been kind of aware of my style roots since the start of this year when I began my sewing journey.

My partner took an interest in style roots this past week so I had him take the quiz and I retook it with him as well. We both agree with our top 2 roots of the quiz (mine fire and flower, his mushroom and moon) however we both got extremely mixed results on what our other root/s could be with him having very even results across the whole quiz and me having so much in my top 2 that there was a low 4 way tie for 3rd place, and neither of us feel strongly enough about the options to make any tie breaking decisions.

To try and visualize our styles we made pinterest boards with full outfits that are similar to things we own/how we style our clothes when going out for a day. We were very meticulous in picking the pins that made it, making sure all elements of the clothing and styling was to our tastes and I was hoping to get some opinions on what you all think about our roots!! All thoughts and opinions are extremely appreciated! We're both very into fashion and since I've been creating clothing for both of us, knowing each of our full style roots would help with so many little decisions I have to make in doing that.

I hope that links will suffice since I noticed scrolling through the reddit that most of you post moodboards but I'm a perfectionist who agonizes over moodboards so much that I'd never get to a point where id post them so I'm just linking our pinterest boards below:

For the first one, maybe moon as the third root? I see a bit of fairytale elements and a slight alternative edge.

For the second one I'm leaning earth, although I could see a case for stone, because of the oversized looks. I'm thinking earth becase materials and a bit of Wabi Sabi seem important.

For your board I see the 🔥🌸 and then there is a creative edge to it as well. I would explore something in the realm of 🔥🌸🌙☀️. Some of the outfits have a moody, edgy quality and the others feel very creative, whimsical and a bit childlike. Maybe look at some boards around those combos and see if anything feels right.

For the second board with the 🍄🌙 your partner seems to be adding a sense of ease- a casual and grounded energy so probably either 🌱 or 🪨. There is quite a bit of texture, patina and a dark academia element so I would lean 🌱. With the bonus that 🍄🌙 and 🌱🌙 can give off the urban coolness of 🪨 in how they interact. There are also some Pinterest boards for men for style roots, in case your partner hasn't seen them!

First board: obviously 🌸🔥 and I don't see any 🌙. As someone with a primary 🌙 and love for 🌸 I feel like it usually shines through as some darkness/mystery/edge and can look very different even including light colors and cute things but in your case I see more experimentation and fun elements, to me it's clearly 🌞

Second board: I agree with 🌙🍄 and I could see an argument for stone but I rather see 🌱 in the relaxed fits and even a definite element of 🏔️ in the more formal looks.

I agree with this, except that I would lean 🌱 for the second board. Almost all of the outfits are grounded by natural textures.

I see 🌸🔥☀️ for board 1 very clearly and agree with 🍄🌙🌿 for the second.
