We’re kicking off the week with an incredibly talented singer, Kris Cannon. This self proclaimed “Music Therapist” has an eye for everything fashion related and loves to combine different colors and prints together. Plus, she loves to thrift! Wow! There’s just so much to unpack here! Let’s take a deeper dive into Kris Cannon’s “Style Spotlight” below:
Where are you from?
I was born in Long Island, NY but grew up in Montclair, NJ. I’ve been in Philly for six years now.
How do you define your personal style? What or who are your some of your style inspirations?
I think my personal style would be 90s streetwear fashion, movies, and music.
I’m inspired by colors and shapes. I have an appreciation for mix and matching things that usually don’t go together.
Also, I love Will Smith. He has some of the flyest outfits I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t forget my girl Teyana Taylor.
What are the essential pieces you must have in your closet?
There’s always room for finger arm and neck candy (A lot of rings, necklaces, and bracelets) and glasses, worn with a fresh pair sneakers! I love enhancing my outfits with sneakers!
Where do you shop?
I do a lot of thrifting. It’s become a big part of my sense of style and fashion. I find so many pieces in secondhand stores. I really enjoy Boohoo and ASOS as well.
Describe your personal style in three words?
Nineties, bold, and authentic!
Any fashion related tips?
Wear whatever you want, and wear whatever makes you happy. Trends, magazines, and social media are great, but life would be pretty boring if we all had to look and dress the same. Just be you, be free, and wear whatever makes you feel good.
