Every designer has those pieces that feel a little more personal. They are the ones that immediately catch your eye, end up being worn again and again, and somehow capture everything you love about getting dressed. For Rachel, those favorites are rarely quiet. Bold prints, leopard, graphic tees, dramatic dresses, unexpected color combinations, lace, plaid, and plenty of black are all part of her personal style. She gravitates toward clothing with personality and pieces that make getting dressed feel creative, effortless, and fun. These are the styles that continue to inspire her and earn a place among Rachel’s favorites.
LEOPARD IS ALWAYS A FAVORITE
If there is one print Rachel will always come back to, it is leopard. It has a way of making even the simplest outfit more interesting, and depending on how you style it, leopard can feel classic, edgy, playful, or dramatic. A full length leopard dress can become the entire outfit, while a leopard skirt can easily be paired with something simple or mixed with other patterns and textures. The easiest way to wear leopard is to stop thinking of it as something that needs to be toned down and start treating it like a neutral. Pair it with black, add chunky shoes and bold accessories, or let the print completely take over the look. It is versatile, a little rebellious, and never boring, which is exactly why it continues to be one of Rachel’s favorites.

BLACK, BUT NEVER BORING
There will always be room for black in Rachel’s wardrobe, but her favorite black pieces usually have something unexpected about them. Lace, sheer fabrics, texture, and dramatic silhouettes can transform an all black outfit into something that feels anything but basic. A sweeping black lace dress can feel romantic and feminine while still having an edge, especially when styled with chunky boots or unexpected accessories. That versatility is part of what makes black such a favorite. It can be understated or dramatic, casual or dressed up, depending entirely on the piece and the way you choose to wear it.

PRINTS, GRAPHIC TEES, AND A LITTLE ATTITUDE
Rachel’s love of prints does not stop at leopard. Checks, plaid, stripes, graphic elements, and unexpected color combinations all have a place in her wardrobe. A bold pair of patterned pants can carry an entire outfit, while a graphic tee can make a statement piece feel more relaxed and wearable. Rachel loves that contrast between something familiar and something unexpected. Instead of automatically pairing a graphic tee with jeans, try it with colorful checked pants, a printed skirt, or another piece you might not normally think to put with it. Sometimes the combinations that seem the most unexpected are the ones that make an outfit feel the most personal.

WEAR WHAT YOU LOVE
The thing Rachel’s favorites have in common is not one particular color, print, or silhouette. It is personality. Some pieces are dramatic, some are comfortable enough to wear all day, and others simply make getting dressed more fun. Personal style is not about constantly reinventing yourself or filling your closet with whatever happens to be trending at the moment. It is about discovering the pieces you genuinely love and finding new ways to make them your own.At the end of the day, the best wardrobe is one that feels like you. Rachel’s favorites reflect her love of bold prints, dramatic details, unexpected combinations, and clothes with personality, but everyone’s favorites will look a little different. Pay attention to the pieces you cannot stop reaching for, wear them as often as you want, and do not be afraid to experiment with how you style them. Fashion should be personal, expressive, and most importantly, fun.So wear the leopard, pull out the lace dress, mix the prints, and repeat the outfit you loved the first time around. Your closet does not just need more clothes. It needs more favorites.
