MASCULINE STYLE

The Advanced Archetype Quiz

Understand the man.
Find your blend.

Your style should express who you are. Explore how Rugged, Refined, and Rakish qualities combine in your life—before deciding what that looks like in your clothes.

Rate every response independently, from 0 to 5. You can give all three responses a 5, a 0, or any combination. You’re rating how much each resonates, rather than choosing a single answer.

Think about what makes an experience satisfying to you, rather than only what you’re capable of or required to do. Recall real experiences where you can. Your job, budget, health, or current circumstances may limit an activity without changing its appeal.

Physical engagement can include making, cooking, dancing, repairing, sport, or other hands-on practice. It doesn’t require a particular physique or level of strength.
