Exploring Cognitive Types and Style: ENFJs and ESFJs

Hey everyone, welcome back. Today, I’m excited to present another voice-over video in my series exploring the connections between cognitive types and style. In this episode, we’re focusing on the extroverted feeling leads: the ENFJs and ESFJs.

Before diving into the examples, I want to emphasize that I exclusively use the database from vultology.com. I appreciate the consistency and reliability of their contributor pool and typology system. Sticking to one database provides more dependable results than relying on crowd polling sites or random opinions from Redditors. Please note that this system is distinct from MBTI, Socionics, etc.

ENFJ Style: Harmonious and Elegant

Eva Longoria

Our first ENFJ example is Eva Longoria. ENFJs dress best in harmonious and socially appropriate outfits that make them feel comfortable and confident. They prefer styles that are timeless rather than trend-setting, reflecting their connection to what is universally pleasing.

Eva Longoria looks fantastic in simple, clean, and orderly shapes that are also cozy and inviting. She often wears draped fabrics tucked strategically to emphasize an hourglass shape, highlighting her wider shoulders, narrow waist, and wider hips. Eva loves to pair structured pieces, like shorts or pleated trousers, with luxurious yet simple fabrics, such as thin cotton t-shirts or silky button-downs. She often accessorizes with scarves and wraps, adding softness without compromising the clarity and structure of her outfit.

Kate Beckinsale

Next, we have Kate Beckinsale, who shares a similar style essence with Eva Longoria. Both women excel in elegant, simple, and practical outfits that are structured yet cozy and sensual. Kate looks stunning in structured shorts paired with soft, buttery tees, silky blouses, and blazers. Her style is understated but exudes strength and sophistication.

Gisele Bündchen

Our final ENFJ example is supermodel Gisele Bündchen. Gisele’s style is characterized by orderly simplicity and sensuality. She enhances her hourglass figure with exaggerated leg lines and crisp outerwear. She often pairs soft, drapey tees and silky camisoles with simple trousers or jeans and structured outerwear, creating a balanced and harmonious look.

ESFJ Style: Polished and Vintage-Inspired

Emily Blunt

Our first ESFJ example is Emily Blunt. ESFJs prefer a polished, elegant, and understated style with vintage-inspired elements. Emily looks great in rounded shapes, emphasizing symmetry and calculated but soft edges. Her outfits often include sweaters and midi skirts, intricate patterns, and clean structures, showcasing a timeless and conventionally feminine style.

Emma Watson

Emma Watson exemplifies the classic and soft style of an ESFJ. Her wardrobe includes flared shirt dresses, wrap mini dresses, soft blouses, and wrap skirts. Even modern outfits, like matching sets, retain a drapey and inviting softness, avoiding sharp or angular lines. Emma’s style is timeless, pretty, and structured without being harsh.

Gillian Anderson and Rachel McAdams

Gillian Anderson and Rachel McAdams both shine in vintage-inspired pieces that are simple, silky, and soft. Gillian looks amazing in silky button-downs and velvet dresses with puff sleeves, while Rachel looks adorable in cardigan-and-dress combinations. Their styles are simple but feminine and warm, with a focus on timeless elegance.

Outfit Ideas for ENFJs and ESFJs

For ENFJs:

  • Drapey t-shirt with high-waisted, clean trousers and pointed-toe heels, accessorized with a scarf.
  • Plunging thin tank top with boot-cut, elongated trousers and fun pointed-toe mules.

For ESFJs:

  • Cute puff sleeve dress with matching block heels.
  • Summery but understated dress with florals and delicate sandals.

Thank you for joining me in this exploration of the style of ENFJs and ESFJs. Remember, this is not a hard science; it’s about observing possible connections and patterns. I hope you enjoyed it, and I’ll see you in the next video. Bye!
