Fashion Feng Shui: the Perfectionist

The fifth and final Feng Shui element is Metal, which represents the Perfectionist. Many of us aspire to be elegant and spend a lot of time and money trying to achieve it, however it comes naturally to the Perfectionists, who have been born with inherent good taste. Perfectionists find success in careers where good organisational and management skills are essential, such as analysts, editors, curators, organisers and statesmen. They enjoy upmarket refined places so you will find them in museums, concert halls, mansions and country clubs. Perfectionists, as you might guess, prefer quality over quantity.

Perfectionists have very light hair, eyes and skin, delicate features and hourglass bodies. They like wearing pale colours, polished textures and luxurious fabrics: you can expect to find cashmere, silk and designer accessories in their wardrobes.


If any Perfectionists are reading this post, I'm sure they will pick me up for the outfits shown above and declare that they are far from perfect! Apologies, as a Pioneer with Philosopher leanings, I know that I'm far from being a Perfectionist. I do have a lovely cashmere cardigan (though in the Wood's shade of green), so perhaps I need to wear it more often?

If you value quality and excellence, enjoy organising and have a cultivated spirit, then you're a Perfectionist in essence, even if you don't look like one. Similarly if you want more order or refinement in your life, or you have cultural goals, or you just want to look elegant, then add some Metal elements to your wardrobe.

Perfectionists wear perfectly fitted clothes, monochromatic outfits, either little or no pattern (polka dots, brocades or lace are best) and status or designer accessories. Other Metal element fashions include cashmere twin sets, polished or shimmering textures (such as the gold lamé dress above), pale colours such as white, powder pink and silver, a status gold watch, round-toed pumps and gemstone or metal jewellery.

As I've already admitted, I'm not a Perfectionist - and I don't have the necessary funds in my bank account to be one. If I need to add some Metal elements (apart from my cashmere cardigan), it will probably be with a pair of round-toed pumps, my (non-status!) gold watch or maybe some metallic jewellery.

  1. Fashion Feng Shui is an interesting approach to fashion and personal style that combines the principles of Feng Shui with clothing and accessories. The Perfectionist is one of the five fashion Feng Shui archetypes, which represents a person who values quality, precision, and attention to detail in their clothing choices.

    The Perfectionist tends to prefer classic styles and high-quality fabrics, and may be drawn to neutral colors and tailored pieces. They often put a lot of thought and effort into their appearance, and may feel more comfortable and confident when everything is just right.

    While there are certainly benefits to being detail-oriented and striving for excellence in one's appearance, it's also important to remember that no one is perfect, and there is beauty in imperfection. It's okay to take risks and try new things with fashion, and it's also important to prioritize comfort and personal expression over strict adherence to rules or standards.

    Overall, the Perfectionist archetype in Fashion Feng Shui offers an interesting perspective on personal style and the role of clothing and accessories in creating a sense of harmony and balance in one's life. we have a perfect files version software which gives you perfect help in designing cloths.
