Hey, Style Slayers — Happy Moda Monday!
Welcome Inside the Closet! In this edition, we’re sharing 1 quest, 2 tips, and 3 looks to help you embrace your unique style superpowers — Let’s step in! 👇
1 Quest for you to try
In our last quest, Diving into Dungeons & Dresser Drawers—we took a nerdy deep dive into building outfit “classes” inspired by D&D and TTRPGs. Folks seemed to really enjoy this theme (makes sense, it’s one of my personal favorites too!), but there’s even MORE to be inspired by! So let’s delve deeper into DND and our dresser drawers to earn some experience and level up our style!
How to participate
- Choose: Pick one outfit class to explore this week, using our class style examples, or your own character as inspiration. If you followed along with the last quest, try a different outfit class, or add some variation to the one you already tried!
- Create: Build one full outfit embodying what that class looks like or means to you. Don’t forget about your “bonus” details (shoes, jewelry, layering piece) to level up your outfit and your character creation!
- Capture: Share your outfit with our community using #VostraModaQuest, or email us at hellobri@vostramoda.com with your entry to see who else may want to join your party!
The most inspiring outfit will be featured next week! Please let me know if you would like to remain anonymous.
2 Tips to help you slay
To help you create a “style cheat sheet” for yourself, here’s a quick overview of some general TTRPG classes and how you might find inspiration in your own closet, along with whatever inspiration dice your GM (game master) gives you!
1. The Fighter / Tank
Vibe: Strong, durable, unshakeable
Closet Staples: Leather or faux-leather jackets / Structured denim, cargos, or utility pants / Combat boots, lug soles, belts with hardware
Style Notes: This class thrives on durability + structure. Think outfits that say “I’ve got this” even when you’re exhausted. It’s giving armor, but make it fashion.
2. The Wizard / Mage
Vibe: Intentional, creative, slightly mysterious
Closet Staples: Flowing silhouettes, wide sleeves, draped layers / Long cardigans, dusters, robes, or scarves / Soft fabrics that move when you do
Style Notes: Mages dress for presence. These outfits feel thoughtful and expressive—perfect for days you want to feel powerful without needing to be loud (unless you’ve decided to cast fireball… we all know how that goes.).
3. The Bard
Vibe: Charismatic, expressive, always giving main-character energy
Closet Staples: Sparkle, metallics, velvet, or satin / Statement jewelry, boots, or bold makeup / Color play, drama, and lots of fabulous flair
Style Notes: If it catches the light or invites compliments, it belongs here. Bard outfits are about joy, storytelling, and being unapologetically seen – how else will they remember you unless you’re being memorable after all?
4. The Rogue
Vibe: Sleek, adaptable, effortlessly cool
Closet Staples: Black or dark neutrals / Slim silhouettes, layers, asymmetry / Pieces that transition easily from day to night / Pointy accessories, like dagger earrings or necklaces that may also double as lockpicks… but who’s to say – that door was unlocked the whole time, right?
Style Notes: Rogues are masters of versatility and shadows. These outfits feel effortless but still intentional—perfect for blending in or slipping away unnoticed.
5. The Cleric / Paladin
Vibe: Focused, supportive, quietly powerful
Closet Staples: Soft knits and comforting layers / Natural fibers, gentle colors, meaningful jewelry or pendants / Pieces that feel emotionally safe and easy to wear
Style Notes: These outfits prioritize care – for yourself and others. Think “trusted favorite” energy with a hint of reverence, while still taking care of business.
6. The Ranger / Druid
Vibe: Mindful, strong connection to nature, energetic
Closet Staples: functional for the outdoors and becoming one with your surroundings / Natural fibers and layers for any type of weather, with key pieces and colors selected from nature itself – think wooden or stone accessories and materials sourced from the land itself
Style Notes: A class that feels most at home in their favored terrain or is fueled by the outdoors. Much like the change of seasons, this style can also be highly versatile in how it’s expressed, but at its core, a reverence and great respect for nature and how powerful it can be.
Our style suggestions
- Name Your “Builds”: Labeling outfits as “Bard Energy” or “Tank Mode” makes getting dressed fun, playful, and reduces some of that decision fatigue. Better yet, if you take inspiration from your own PC (playable character), make a closet cosplay of them and bring some of their main character energy into your life!
- Stat Boosting Accessories: Jewelry, shoes, makeup, and layering are great “stat boosts” and can help to add “bonuses” to your look. The base outfit can stay simple for any of your class-inspired options, but the details are like role-playing and help set the tone!
Bri’s own D&D characters from past campaigns have unique personalities, classes, backstories, and obviously, styles as well! Not sponsored, but check out Hero Forge if you want to create a mini of your character, too!
