5 and dropping. I probably cared most about "fashion" in my 20s when it was "important" to look good going out. A wide range of clothing choices was never that available to me, however, because of my height, so I tried to make do with what was available and what could be worn by someone like me. I knew a woman almost as tall as me who dressed in cutesy things that petite girls wore, and she reminded me of Baby Huey. I never wanted to look like that!
Most of my interest in fashion came later in the business world. I learned that dressing in business clothes--a jacket, at least, or a suit with a skirt or slacks, got women taken more seriously, and the tailored look was something I COULD wear and I was able to find clothing like that in tall sizes through catalogs and later online. I learned to dress up the business clothing with scarves and other accessories, and it was nice to go to work knowing I looked put together.
Now I'm mostly retired, and it's usually leggings and long tops/sweaters. Comfort drives my fashion choices now. However, I will not go out to a store or anything in my plaid jammie bottoms, as some people do.
6 - I'm fortunate to have a good figure, so I love form-fitting shirts and jeans and classic shirts and slacks.
Just don't ask me to buy patterns. I'm afraid I'll pick one that looks old. So I wear a lot of solid colors. My husband says my fashion is completely boring. I don't blame him.
I also buy things that are cheap and am not willing to spend money on fashion. My MIL, on the other hand, has a great fashion sense, but she's willing to buy expensive clothes at Macy's, which I'm not.
I absolutely hate sweatshirts and hoodies when going out because they are wide and shapeless and I'm not college student. I hate flip flops because they look like slippers. I love ballet flats and riding boots.
Somewhere between a 4 and a 5. If you consider fashion to be trendy clothing and knowing and wearing the latest trends, I'm about a 1.5. If you're talking about wanting to dress in a way that flatters my body and looks good, I'm more like a 6 or 7 (and have no idea whether it's currently popular or not).
I'm not a fashionista. At all. I get all my clothes at the thrift store, except underwear. I have one purse, a smaller black purse that I got from Walmart (that I love, BTW) that holds everything I need it to. I'm pretty much a minimalist -- not burlap sack, but . . .
I would put myself in the middle at a 5. I care what the trends are a little bit but at the same time I'm going to wear what I like and looks decent on me.

Depends on the industry and geographic location. If you came to Google (my former employer) like that, I'd think you lacked intelligence.
I like to look put together and have a "look" that suits me, but following popular trends is not an interest of mine. I care absolutely nothing about high fashion, labels, designers, etc.
