STYLE SPOTLIGHT: HASAN

Welcome to “Style Spotlight,” a series dedicated to our most inspiring, fashion enthusiasts!  All styles are welcome!

Introducing Hasan

Hey friends!

For our latest Style Spotlight, we caught up another stylish gent from Philly, Hasan! Check out his full interview below:

Where are you from?

I was born and raised in Southwest Philadelphia! I’m currently living in the Fishtown area.

How do you define your personal style? What or who are your some of your style inspirations?

Growing up, I loved to play games like Grand Theft Auto. There are parts in the game where the you as the player has to drive around, go to different stores, and try on a bunch of clothes. The game allows the player to assume a different identity every time. That’s how I am in the real world! One day, you might see me in grungy outfit or the next day you could catch me in something a little more cozy. Everyday, I switch up my style. You never know what Hasan you’re going to get.

My three sisters are my biggest style inspirations! They’ve helped me tap into a more feminine style that I always wanted to embrace. For the longest, I dressed more masculine presenting, but my style is more layered than that.

What are the essential pieces you must have in your closet?

A good pair of sneakers, cable knit sweaters, turtlenecks, a baseball cap, and accessories (Rings, belts, earrings, hats, and scarves).

Where do you shop?

I tend to shop anywhere with a sale. Some of my favorite shops are ASOS, Boohoo, and UNIQLO. I love to thrift as well!

Describe your personal style in three words?

Cozy, loud, and fun!

Any fashion related tips?

Fellas, don’t be afraid to shop in the women’s section. Most clothes are unisex anyway. Plus, women have been shopping in the men’s section for a very long time. Just head over to the women’s section and see if something fits your personal style. You’ll don’t want to miss out on all the fun!

THE BEST BLACK DRESS FOR YOUR WARDROBE

What she wore: A long black dress and leather boots

Style tip: For a late afternoon stroll, keep things simple and chic. For example, an all black dress will get the job done. Don’t forget your favorite, knee high leather boots!

AN EASY WAY TO WEAR FLARED JEANS

What she wore: A white suit jacket as a dress and heels

Style tip: Now that the 70s trend is back in style, make sure you have a pair of flared denim jeans hanging in your closet. A chunky cable knit sweater is all you need to keep this trend going.
