× Well I don't stick to one fixed style, but I do prefer more UMM figure hugging clothes so the athletic style must be my go to.
✓ Well I don't stick to one fixed style, but I do prefer more, um, figure-hugging clothes, so the athletic style is my go-to.
'Figure hugging' should be hyphenated as a compound adjective before a noun: 'figure-hugging clothes'. 'Go to' as a compound noun should be hyphenated 'go-to'. The verb 'must be' is odd here; 'is' is a simpler present-tense copula matching the speaker's preference. Also add commas around the filler 'um' and between clauses for clarity.
× UMM. I always wear little lemons, legging and hoodies.
✓ Um, I always wear little leggings and hoodies.
'Legging' should be plural 'leggings' to agree with 'hoodies' and because we refer to the garment in general. 'Little lemons' is likely incorrect word choice; keeping 'little' before 'leggings' is acceptable but 'lemons' makes no sense and was removed. Use 'um' not 'UMM' and combine into one sentence.
× I think it might be an answer.
✓ I think that answers the question.
The original is awkward and not idiomatic. 'That answers the question' or 'I think that is an answer' are clearer. Use present tense for general statements about responses.
× Like during my work days I need to be looking professional so I would choose smart clothes.
✓ During my workdays I need to look professional, so I choose smart clothes.
'Need to be looking' is an awkward continuous form; 'need to look' is correct for a general requirement. 'Would choose' suggests conditional; use simple present 'choose' to state habitual action. Also 'workdays' is one word and commas improve clarity.
× But during the weekends I just wanna be relaxed so I prefer wearing comfortable clothes.
✓ But during the weekends I just want to be relaxed, so I prefer to wear comfortable clothes.
Informal 'wanna' should be 'want to'. Use 'prefer to wear' instead of 'prefer wearing' to be idiomatic; both are possible but 'prefer to wear' fits here. Add comma before 'so' separating clauses.
× Yes, absolutely. It's my wardrobe staple, actually.
✓ Yes, absolutely. It's actually my wardrobe staple.
Reordering for natural flow: placing 'actually' before 'my' is more idiomatic. No article change necessary beyond rephrasing.
× I have a large collection of T-shirts in different colors and patterns.
✓ I have a large collection of T-shirts in different colors and patterns.
Sentence is grammatically correct; no change needed. Included here to show it meets standards.
× And it it's not just casual, it can be smarts, you know, just need to pair it with the blazer.
✓ And it's not just casual; it can be smart, you know, you just need to pair it with a blazer.
Remove duplicated 'it'. 'Smarts' is incorrect; use adjective 'smart'. Add article 'a blazer'. Use semicolon or comma splice correction and include subject 'you' in second clause.
× It's perfect.
✓ It's perfect.
This sentence is correct and fits context; no change needed.
× To be honest, I used to, but now I'm trying to streamline the process and my quick shortcuts is Chinese calendar that suggests specific lucky colour each date and I would just build my outfits around one or two colours.
✓ To be honest, I used to, but now I'm trying to streamline the process. My quick shortcut is the Chinese calendar, which suggests a specific lucky colour each day, and I build my outfits around one or two colours.
'Shortcuts' should be singular 'shortcut' to match 'my'. 'Is' must agree with singular subject. Add definite article 'the' before 'Chinese calendar'. Use relative clause 'which suggests' and 'each date' should be 'each day'. Replace 'I would just build' with simple present 'I build' to show habitual action. Break into two sentences for clarity.
× It's just like a little styling game.
✓ It's just a little styling game.
'Like' is unnecessary here and makes the sentence informal; removing it tightens the expression. Sentence otherwise grammatically fine.
× Could you order the work days? I need to be professional and appropriate for my job, so I would choose smart or smart casual outfits.
✓ During workdays I need to be professional and appropriate for my job, so I choose smart or smart-casual outfits.
'Could you order the work days?' is irrelevant and likely a mistake; remove it. Use 'workdays' and 'smart-casual' hyphenated. Use simple present 'choose' for habitual preference rather than 'would choose'.
× But during the weekends I want to express my personality more so I would choose song statement pieces.
✓ But during the weekends I want to express my personality more, so I choose some statement pieces.
'Song' is a mispronunciation of 'some'; correct to 'some'. Use simple present 'choose' for habitual action. Add comma before 'so' and 'statement pieces' is the correct noun phrase.
× I like blue the best.
✓ I like blue best.
Both 'the best' and 'best' are acceptable; 'I like blue best' is slightly more natural in speech. This change is stylistic, not strictly required.
× I mean this color really complements my skin tone.
✓ I mean, this color really complements my skin tone.
Add comma after introductory phrase 'I mean'. Sentence is otherwise correct.
× Made my skin tone more glowy and fair.
✓ It makes my skin tone look more glowing and fair.
Original is a sentence fragment lacking a subject and proper verb. Use 'It makes' to refer to the color; 'glowy' is informal—'glowing' is preferable. Use present tense 'makes' to match general truth.
× It does work and I also think blue is a quite classic color.
✓ It does work, and I also think blue is quite a classic color.
Remove extra article 'a' before 'quite classic' or place 'quite' before 'classic'. 'Quite a classic color' or 'quite classic' — here 'quite a classic color' is natural; adjusted to 'quite a classic color' by moving 'quite'. Also add comma before conjunction.
× Go with almost every stylish pieces.
✓ It goes with almost every stylish piece.
Verb 'go' needs subject; use 'It goes with' referring to the color. 'Pieces' should be singular with 'every': 'every piece'. Alternatively 'almost all stylish pieces' would be possible, but correct is 'almost every stylish piece'.
