About This Quiz

Now that the hot weather's finally here, it's time to reassess your summer wardrobe! This is a special time of the year when we can get away with white jeans, sleeveless shirts, body-skimming sundresses and other apparel that definitely wouldn't fly in dreary January or chilly November. Not only that, but there are patterns and prints we can wear in the summer that would look ridiculous under colder circumstances, such as cheerful gingham or wild tie-dye. If you're wondering which fantastic summer print you should be rocking, this is the quiz for you!

We want to know all about your style, from the type of bag you carry to which of your accessories cost the most. We also need to know your favorite summer jam, whether you go to a lot of cook-outs and what your relationship status is. Through questions about your aesthetic, wardrobe, personality and preferred way to spend the summer, we'll be able to calculate exactly which pattern would help you to live your best possible June, July and August.
