Modesty Score:
If a classic dresser watches the hemlines and tightness she will be fine on the bottom. If she watches how low and tight her shirts are, she will be fine. The classic style is easy to be modest in, as long as you watch carefully when you buy clothing.
Femininity Score:
The classic style is not very feminine. In that one respect, it has a very low score. But, that can be changed. When you are a classic dresser, try to stick with feminine colors, which add light to your outfit. Wearing dresses and skirts, a classic dresser immediately adds femininity to any outfit. When you are buying a button-up white shirt, try to find one with feminine detailing such as ruffles, an interesting collar, or pretty buttons. When looking for a blazer, also find one with feminine detailing, such as ruffles on the sleeves etc. Cardigans were originally men’s clothing, so be sure to get them in a feminine color such as lavender or light blue, which won’t overwhelm your classic look. If you need more feminine inspiration, be sure to check out the “Romantic Style” post. In this post, I changed some of the "classic pieces" of the classic style to more feminine versions of the same piece. The classic style borrowed a lot of pieces from men's fashion, so the classic style personalities need to take extra care to dress femininely.
Age Appropriate Score:
This style works for women ages 12-forever. If you are younger, be sure to pair the classic style with other style influences, and don’t go overboard with classic. Classic is timeless, but teens need to stick a toe in a few of the trends, or else they will seem unimaginative and dull.

A word of caution: since the classic style is very simple, make sure that you add a touch of flair through the other styles to your outfits so that your style doesn't become dull and boring.
