Selecting the correct answers provides a clear outline of how your style will work. The Minimalist Style Patent (MPS for short) is the foundation for building a personalized wardrobe. It can be used as a basis for the Ethereal typology or as a compendium related to the Kibbe typology (see MPS – Kibbe). In addition, MPS is readable for people who do not know the Ethereal typology or Kibbe types well. In this case, it is enough to familiarize yourself with the concepts of Yang and Yin (see Resources) and with the basic knowledge of style.
You can select the correct answers yourself or with the help of third parties.
The guidelines below refer to clothing/style features.
LOW
MODERATE
HIGH
YANG in style – all men’s fashion inspirations that have permanently entered women’s fashion. Raw and minimalist styles as well as those with a hint of edgy. Clothes that are tight-fitting and considered sexy (see Crimson Ethereal). In addition, youth and sports styles also have YANG connotations.
LOW
MODERATE
HIGH
YIN in style – elements of clothing commonly described as strictly feminine or girly/sweet (e.g., flared dresses, frills, drapes, delicate fabrics, lace, flowers, polka dots). The high level of YIN is well illustrated by the 1940s fashion (see Retro Fairytale Ethereal).
LONG
MODERATE LENGTH
SHORT
EXAMPLES:
SHARP
SOFT
WAVY
EXAMPLES:
STIFF, DEFINED
SOFT, UNDEFINED
TIGHT-FITTING
TAILORED
RELAXED
FLARED
In this case, as previously, much depends on the type of fabric. Defined cuts require moderately stiff or stiff fabrics. Soft and undefined shapes are e.g., knits, all fine fabrics, stretch denim, soft wools. Another aspect is the fit to the body. In a simple way, we divide clothes into: tight-fitting, classically fitted (tailored) and slightly or more relaxed.
MINI
MEDIUM
MIDI
MAXI
MINI – length shorter than above-the-knee to very short
MEDIUM – length above the knee, knee-length, below the knee
MIDI – length up to mid-calf
MAXI – longer than mid-calf
LOW
MODERATE
HIGH
EXAMPLES:
LOW
MODERATE
HIGH
To what extent would a given outfit be suitable for a strict dress code or, for example, going to the theater. Elegance also means classic styles (including the so-called classic feminine style – see Retro Fairytale Ethereal) and minimalist, polished, stiff styles.
LOW
MODERATE
HIGH
How far a given outfit goes beyond the framework of generally understood minimalism or classic style (including the so-called classic feminine style). A high level of extravagance means standing out from the crowd, not following current trends.
First, you should choose your best colors (colors, not their shades or hues). Next, you need to determine the characteristics of your chosen best colors and how they will function in the style.

Below are the main aspects of the MPS for each Ethereal with the correct answers selected. Sharing them on this page is intended to facilitate understanding of how MPS works in practice. As a result, we get a clear and extremely concise view of styles for each of the Ethereals.
