Best dressed at York

How would you describe your fashion style today?
Just casual and comfortable. It was hot outside and I just needed to have something comfortable to wear and I wanted to show my shoulders. I wore a tank top because I wanted to get some sun.
What advice do you have for female students when it comes to fashion?
Just be yourself and play with colours and don’t be afraid to express yourself in the way that you think is best for you. Don’t follow strict fashion rules and do whatever you find natural.
 
What accessory can you not live without?
My belly button piercing. I actually wear no accessories because I think everything is just too much. I like it more natural and simple. If you need to wear something just make it one thing.
What looks appealing on men?
I really like men in suits. As much as I like natural looking girls, I really like dressed-up men and I like men who wear eyeliner in their eyes. I find men have very beautiful eyes and if they define them with eyeliner, there is nothing wrong with it and if a man dares to wear eyeliner and a suit on a date, then that’s going to be my perfect date.

How would you describe your fashion style today?
Today it’s just business as usual.
It depends on the day and my mood. Today, I just had to get dressed and take care of some business as usual and later meet with my friends.
What advice do you have for male students when it comes to fashion?
Dress comfortable, try not to look too stiff. Make sure your clothes fit well and you’re comfortable in them.
What accessory can you not live without?
I’m loving this watch right now because its new and has a couple of diamonds in it. This watch was $150.
What kind of fashion style do you look for in women?
I look first for beautiful and attractive and then I look for personality because personality just enhances the style and then confidence, I would say the confidence to wear anything and make it look good.
