Where are you from?

I’m from Lancaster, PA and just moved to Philadelphia two years ago.

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

My personal style is very retro inspired. I love vintage styles! Also, I like to dress bubbly and bright.

My inspirations are bright colors, and the old Hollywood glamour type of woman (Any hyper feminine woman I’m in love with)!

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

The first thing that comes to mind is red lipstick. In addition, I love anything that’s flowy. It looks good on every person, gender, or body, especially when you’re wearing a dress, skirt, or pants (Anything loose).

Where do you shop?

I shop at thrift stores or anything that looks cool on the outside. I can shop anywhere!

Describe your personal style in three words?

Saucy, bubbly, and retro!

Any fashion related tips?

Always wear what you want to wear, and wear what you feel comfortable in. Just dress how you want to, and go with the flow. If it’s really funky, comfortable, and mix matching, then wear it. If its really mute and neutral, wear it too! Do what you want, and just wear what you want. It always looks the best, and you’ll always feel the best when you’re doing exactly what you want to do.

HOW TO ROCK DOUBLE DENIM IN 2021

ISAAC | PHILADELPHIA, PA

What he wore: A denim shirt and jeans combo worn with penny loafers.

Style tip: Take advantage of this semi-warm weather with a double denim fit. To pull this look off effectively, you can either match your denim pieces or go with two separate washes. For Isaac, he went with a dark wash for the jeans, and a slightly lighter wash for the shirt. It’s a nice combo that compliment each other quite well!

Where are you from?

I’m from Delran, NJ.

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

My personal style just has to deal with comfort. I want to be cute and comfortable . Honestly, I wear black a lot, but I do experiment with color when it comes to make-up.

Some of my style inspirations include Simone Mariposa (@simonemariposa) and Cardi B, who has been going crazy with her style.

When it comes to make-up, Naezrah (@naezrahlooks) is amazing!

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

I must have sandals, a jean jacket, a few little bralettes, Chucks, and Vans.

Where do you shop?

Wherever! If I see something cute, I’ll buy it. Sometimes, I like fast fashion places like Boohoo and SHEIN or stores like Wal-Mart and Target. You can even catch me shopping at the thrift store or my Mom’s closet.

Describe your personal style in three words?

Comfortable, hoochie, and playful!

Any fashion related tips?

Just wear whatever makes you comfortable. Wear what you like! Fuck what everyone else has to say. There have been times where I’ve gotten rude comments or stares about what I’m wearing, but I look cute as shit! Wear whatever you feel confident in.
