StyleSource - Alyce Parsons

StyleSource, the Power of the Seven Universal Styles for Women and Men by Alyce Parsons, is the definitive global style resource used and recommended by universities, retailers, image consultants and clients.

This work represents a deeper evolution of Alyce Parsons’ life’s contribution—an expansion of how we understand identity, expression, and human nature through style.

Where many approaches to style begin on the surface, StyleSource begins within.

Rooted in Alyce’s pioneering Universal Style system, this book reveals that style is not simply a matter of preference or trend—it is an expression of something far more intrinsic. It reflects how we are wired, how we relate, and how we move through the world.

Drawing from the structure of the Enneagram, Alyce translates complex psychological patterns into something visible, practical, and profoundly human. The seven Universal Styles are not categories to fit into, but lenses through which we can recognize ourselves more clearly—and others more compassionately.

This book invites a deeper awareness:

• To recognize the underlying motivations that shape how you think, feel, and act
• To understand how these patterns influence your presence, choices, and expression
• To embody your authentic style in a way that feels natural, aligned, and complete

Alyce’s work has influenced professionals and individuals across the globe, reshaping the role of image consulting into something far more meaningful—a pathway to self-knowledge, connection, and personal alignment.

StyleSource stands as a cornerstone of that legacy.

It offers a language for what many have sensed but never been able to articulate—that when we understand our true nature, expression becomes effortless, relationships deepen, and our presence carries a quiet authority.

This is not about becoming someone new.
It is about recognizing who you have always been—and expressing it fully.

"I love Alyce Parsons's Universal Style system for getting to the heart of a person's authenticity, and showing us how to be who we really are. The logical and comprehensive profile combined with the inner essence and outer expression of each style gives an in-depth understanding of ourselves." ~ Karen Brunger
