What's your personal style?

Postby Athena » Sun Jan 17, 2010 5:05 am

So I'm curious, would you say you have a certain style? What fashion rules do you "break" which do you "never" "break?" Who or what are your style influences?

Image

Describe your personal style
Slim, fitted, layered, and colorful

Style Influences
1950s, 1960s prep school/ivy league college wear, 1980s synthpop bands, The Sartorialist

Favorite designers
Ralph Lauren, Jill Sander, Thom Browne

Never caught wearing...
White socks anywhere but in the gym or on the track.

Never forget...
The navy blue blazer. I have two, one light one for summer, one heavy one for winter. Pair it with dark jeans and a t-shirt for a chic casual look, wear it over a finely tailored shirt, elegant silk tie, and gray slacks for business, and/or everything in between.

I break this rule
I often go beltless when wearing a sweater, because I figure people can't see.

I never break this rule
Belt leather and shoe leather must match. Colored belts are fine for either, but brown belt = brown shoes, black belt = black shoes.

Controversial Style Decision
I have never been fond of the American style tradition that says you can only wear black, gray, or navy blue socks while dressed up. I either follow the Italian model, and wear a sock the same color as my pants, or I go British, and wear any damn color I please, even bright pinks, greens, yellows, etc.

you should use hair product, imo. rectangular eyeglass frames might work well too next time you're getting new glasses. but looks good.

half my wardrobe i've had since high school. i guess it's the "person who doesn't like to shop" style.
i usually wear sambas if i go out though http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak ... 9038_n.jpg

lol yeah I look through my wardrobe and see those too lol. I try to stay away from them ^_^ but sometimes you don't even look before you dress ya know??

I guess I'm the 'doesn't look before he dresses type'. Or 'gets dressed with the lights off' (as if the lights are ever on <.< >.> yes I know what that means in a philosophical sense)

I'll be honest. I'm a fashion no-no. Zippered hoodies with matching T-shirt and blue jeans during the winter. If I get REALLY creative I do a matching vest/long undershirt combo. During summer, usually blue jeans and a graphic tee.

And let's not even get started on my shoes. >____>

Generally Blue Jeans, Denim (Levis) over-shirt, tech/anime shirt, with the occasional over-shirt that isn't blue denim. Always white socks and whatever shoes I decide to wear.

Best I can fit this in is late 80s early 90s prep... it reminds me a lot of Saved by the Bell.

My summer style is very similar. Most stays the same, except it's denim shorts instead of pants. It's also short sleeved over-shirts that are generally in a Hawaiian style.

No, you seem more like a Linkin Park. We'll go with that.
