When did your love of fashion start?
My love for fashion started recently, I started to enjoy putting outfits together in the first lockdown. I always struggled on what to do after high school and I choose a random course at college as I did not know what to do, it was only when the pandemic hit, and I was stuck in doors, I was constantly buying clothes and taking pictures in them and documenting them on my Instagram which thankfully has come a long way. I am so glad I found what I truly love and want to do as a career. I then decided to change my course which was better suited for my future.
What three words would you use to describe your personal style?
Sporty, casual, and trendy.
How did you develop your personal style?
I am always browsing online stores and their new in section and I am constantly looking for new trendy clothes. I always order clothes that I like even if I don’t think it will suit me. If I don’t suit the item, I send it back and know that, that style of clothes doesn’t suit me. I feel like it is just trial and error when finding your own style. Over time you learn what colours, fits of clothes, styles, accessories etc doesn’t work for you and your body type. I personally feel like I haven’t a hundred percent found my style yet. I am leaning more towards oversized clothes at the minute, and I feel like my style is constantly getting better over time with the more I learn about clothes and what suits my body. I don’t really stick to an aesthetic I just wear clothes what make me feel good and some days that can be an oversized outfit, a figure-hugging outfit or clothes with colour. I feel like fashion doesn’t have any limits if you are happy and feel amazing, what else matters?
How do you feel about fashion trends?
I personally like fashion trends because they can give a lot of inspiration for people who are finding their style or love fashion but don’t know where to start. Fashion trends have no criteria, any size, any shape, and anyone can wear clothes that are trending. If you are happy and like what you are wearing, then it doesn’t matter what anyone else think. There will always be clothes that come in and out of fashion. A lot of fashion trends today I personally like but there are others that I don’t, just because clothes are trending doesn’t mean you have to wear them, you can wear whatever you want and that’s the fun with fashion. I think it’s nice to have trends for guidance and finding new styles.
Where do you go to be fashion inspired?
I like Instagram, I always look on the explore page to feel inspired. The main way I feel inspired is by following small fashion bloggers, I personally feel like they have a lot more motivation and passion for what they do. I also feel like they tend to push the boundaries of fashion a bit more and that inspires me to improve the outfits I put together.
Who is your celebrity style crush?
Jordan Lipscombe.
Picture yourself in 25 years what are you wearing?
Fashion changes so fast and it is always evolving so I think it would be very hard to say what I would wear but my style would have changed drastically because I will be a lot older, I feel like I will dress less casually. In 25 years, I will be 43, I know I won’t be wearing crop tops anymore, but I think I will still dress quiet young for my age. I like to feel good within myself and an outfit is a massive part in that. I feel like I will be wearing straight leg jeans or any type of baggy jeans, a blouse/nice top. I feel like I will dress classier in 25 years.
What is your favorite item of clothing and why?
My favourite item of clothing are joggers they are just so versatile. You can wear joggers in the winter with a matching jumper and you can wear them in summer with a crop top and you still look put together. I personally hate when an outfit isn’t comfy as it irritates me all day and joggers are a comfy item of clothing. Joggers are defiantly a staple in my wardrobe as they can be dressed up and down.
Which is your favorite seasons to style spring, summer, fall or winter?
My favourite season to style is summer. I find it a lot easier to style my body type in summer clothes. Summer is my favourite season anyway as it just makes me so happy and wearing an outfit that makes me feel good makes me even happier. I also feel like summer clothes flatter my body a lot better and I tend to find more summer clothes that suit me than any other clothes.
What are some of your current fashion obsessions?
My current fashion obsessions are oversized graphic t-shirts and cycling shorts. I just love them so much, it’s such an easy outfit but you look so put together. You can also accessorize to make the outfit even better. Some accessories I use to make an oversized graphic t-shirt and cycling shorts to the next level are; bucket hats, shoulder bags, longer socks which will match the outfit. I personally like outfits that are easy, and you don’t have to think about them much, but you still look effortlessly insane. I also think I like cycling shorts and oversized t-shirt outfits because I like to be comfy, and they are one of the comfiest clothes you could wear because they aren’t restricting or tight to your body.
