Can you differentiate a trait you find attractive only in others from a trait you'd also like to have?

I don't know how actually weird or stupid this question is. I know obviously we all gravitate towards people that are similar to us, but I've been noticing quite a lot that the stuff I find attractive also feels like something I myself would like to be, almost every trait I like in others feels like that. So for example I really like a certain style of clothing. I think it looks great on other people and I'd go crazy if my partner wore something like that, but also I do wanna wear it too. And clothes is just an example, it's similar in regards to personality traits etc etc
