a mix of everything in the end

god i could really write a whole essay on this for context, i’m studying pattern cutting and have been really into/very specific about my clothes forever but have known fashion since maybe 15-16 because of how i fit into the clothes-scape my tastes cannot be separated from trends whether i like it or not. how i dress is rather on trend lately tbh over the years my pants have gotten bigger as i grow more accustomed to the comfort of having less fabric on your body + the dynamism of a wide leg in the somewhat constrained silhouettes of menswear. also inextricable from wider pants just becoming more a part of the collective consciousness and thus my consciousness my tops have gotten smaller & tighter as i've grown more confident and comfortable with my body. still love a baggy vintage tee when it’s warm though maybe best way is to talk my fav clothes and why they’re my fav clothes: - plasticana clogs. super california shoe but also like a half clog half loafer. i love heeled shoes i think they’re more elegant and just more smooth so i’ve worn loafers mostly for the last 6 years. these are like if those felt like sneakers to me. so easy so comfy - fadepants cords. super baggy, so fucking comfortable. really dynamic shape with a lot of personality. they just feel right - slim gildan tees. they remind me of the artist guy in Blow-Up and the way that guy looks reminds me of the energy we all used to have in the wood/metalshops at parsons, functional dress - hanes beaters. so new york summer. also i love how they fit me they flatter my build - oakley sunglasses. indestructible. ridiculous shape in a way i can own. michael jordan wore them in the 90’s and i love basketball & his game - bandanas. remind me of home. remind me of my gay ass new york friends. a lot of them were from home too but i met them all in new york. funny how life works. they suit my hair well when i don’t feel like wearing a hat or i haven’t got time for a shower, and it’s very windy in stratford a hat might blow off - 90’s vintage snapbacks. they fit over my hair that’s really the only reason - our legacy borrowed bd shirt. it reminds me of the shirts my friend katie wears and those shirts are aggressively northern california. so is this one. and it’s just cute - supreme leather collar work jacket. has all of the pockets, and the roundness/diesel type fit that a new yorker’s jacket would have. and that makes me happy. form + function i think right now my style is in a pretty solid place of amalgamating the things that make me me, between upbringing, interests, places i’ve lived + the things i’ve taken from them, queerness, and my growing understanding of how all the things i wear are made. feeling really good about it all. want to figure out how to wear 90’s retro basketball sneakers though because they’re something i’ve loved forever and im a huge basketball fan but they’ve just never felt right when i tried them, except foamposites. personal style is a neverending pursuit if you’re doing it right

my best friend says i dress like a prep school teenager let into the wild

I grew up wearing a uniform my entire life. Blazer, tie, black shoes and the whole nine yards. It took me a long time to figure out my own personal style. I wore a lot of American Eagle and Abercrombie whatever shirts throughout college and then moved over to Urban Outfitters. I gravitate towards really good graphic tees that I can form a deep connection with. I used to dress very e-boy and with a lot of all-black but I think it's because I didn't have a connection to my physical body and was always doing whatever I could to shroud it. I'm currently finding myself gravitating toward a lot of well made, older branded stuff that I find in thrift stores. Tommy Hilfiger is a big one I jump for but also some Ralph Lauren or Gap stuff. I didn't used to like collars but I've bought more collared shirts in the past 6 months than like ever. Very prep. I'm always wearing my checkered vans tho. I'm not sure I'll ever 'dress my age'
