Q: Who inspires your style?
A: I’m a very big Thom Browne fan, and if anything else, I really like Yves Saint Laurent, but when he mainly worked for Christian Dior, not his own line in particular. And I like a lot of Jil Sander’s stuff.
Q: What do you think about when you’re getting ready?
A: What’s classic or what is quintessential, what a cornerstone for men’s fashion would be, and then putting a twist on it or adding your own personal touch to it. I like things that are simple, clean-cut and classic.
Q: Where do you like to shop?
A: I just started trying to get into more vintage clothing, so I try and find a lot of pieces at thrift stores and vintage shops around here. But really, wherever I see something I like, I’ll try and pick it up.
Q: How are you transitioning your look for the colder weather?
A: Nothing crazy, just a little bit more layering.

Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Even though I consider my style to be more on the casual side, I think it also has dressy elements. I like to wear a lot of accessories and change up what I pair my pieces with. There is definitely a difference in my look between day and night, especially when I am running around going from class to class. I always try to feel comfortable but also put together.
Q: What influences your style?
A: I like to look at style blogs like Sea of Shoes, Cupcakes and Cashmere, and Tumblr. Other than style blogs, my mood also has a strong influence on what I choose to wear day to day.
Q: Where do you like to shop?
A: I usually shop at Free People to find my jeans, leggings and comfortable pieces. When shopping for shirts and dresses, I check out Nastygal. I also like to go to Forever 21 for cheap, trendier items. Bloomingdale’s is another one of my favorites because of its wide assortment.
Q: How are you transitioning your look for the colder weather?
A: I love the winter because I love to layer. I really hate wearing coats, though. But I always get excited for the fall and winter trends. As much as I love summer clothes, it’s fun to transition and try out new styles for the fall.

Q: How would you describe your style?

Q: Where do you like to shop?
A: Mostly H&M, Urban Outfitters and Gap.
Q: How are you transitioning your look for the colder weather?
