“As a child, I always dressed myself. My parents thankfully let me express my creativity through my clothing from a young age, not judging or forbidding during the year when I wanted to wear a bouncy purple princess dress every day. I grew up performing in theatre, where I saw how the costumes expressed who the characters were and helped tell their story. Both these things instilled in me, from a very young age, the idea that fashion is a way to express yourself and not hold back. I loved to mix patterns and colors, wear fun silhouettes, I would always accessorize to the nines. Getting dressed was always my favorite part of the day. And it still is. As an adult, dressing in a way that is loving to my inner child is important to me. I still believe in clothing’s inherent ability to express oneself and tell stories, and am now pursuing a career as a costume designer. I am still a maximalist at heart, and believe in challenging Coco Chanel’s idea to take one accessory off before you leave the house, I say, look in the mirror, blow yourself a kiss, and put one more thing on!”

“From elementary school to my junior year of high school I wore a uniform. Then, we switched to a strict dress code, where we literally could only wear certain pants/skirts and a collared shirt in 4 selected colors. So I was really into accessories to make my outfit different than everyone else’s. I loved colorful leggings, scarfs, statement earrings, and big purses. I even remember in middle school my favorite shoes were these knee high lace up sparkly boots from Justice. I would pair them with a pair of colorful tights, a scarf that matched the tights, and statement earrings. I didn’t really start to experiment with my style until college. As of right now, I am still in an experimental phase but my default has a lot of 2000’s elements, fun prints and textures, and a hint of elegance; like a sophisticated edge. Depending on where I am or what I am doing, you’ll likely see me in a different style.”

“The earliest memories I have of myself and clothing, oddly enough, are those of resistance. Early elementary school mornings would often begin with my mother urging me into a series of long dresses and stuffy tights (this was based on a private school policy), and the weekends were all but the same, except the dress code consisted of outrageously patterned, poufy seas of pink and purple that she curated.
Somewhere along the way, my resistance gave way to curious fascination, and during stolen moments when I could sneak past my mother, I would dive into her closet to play dress up—this turned out to be a whole new world I found myself loving to uncover and explore. Every rack and shelf felt like a trove of possibilities as I worked to craft extravagant looks from her vintage brooches, statement necklaces, and anything that caught my eye.
My style throughout my school years can be best described by phases. I had these micro obsessions I would lean into and wear for months at a time—there was a period of time when I would wear a different patterned silk scarf every day to middle school and another when I only wore blazers and pencil skirts. My longest love throughout though was a pair of brown suede ankle boots whose heels I remember wearing down to the bone.
Nowadays I have an appreciation for the classics, sleek, feminine silhouettes, and timeless patterns and fabrics. I enjoy these pieces when they are juxtaposed with unexpected masculine elements, and I’m particularly drawn to the surrealistic, odd, and fantastical. I think there’s something special about not always being perfectly put together and adding a touch of outlandish, playful surprise.”

“The go to outfit was either lime green or hot pink, including a pair of flare leggings and dress overtop. There was Y2K justice and lots of layering. Now I go a bit more classic, layering still in, but now more autumnal and dark colors. I have also always appreciated a good sunglasses and dress moment :) !”

“Growing up my parents supported me expressing myself in any way I saw fit. From wearing outrageous color clashing outfits to getting a pixie cut. In elementary school I loved wearing pieces that reminded me of 1950’s styles, I even had a pair of Sadie Oxford’s. By middle school I had to wear a school uniform that prevented me from expressing myself fully and I lost my fashion sense until late high school. College was a chance for me to experiment with clothes again and I found I still love a timeless classic style. My current most prized piece is a fur coat I thrifted in Paris, which I did have to wear in on each flight home, but it was worth it. While I don’t have a pixie cut anymore and I have a better sense of clothing compatibility, a lot of my current style is influenced by what I loved to wear growing up.”

“I’ve loved dressing up and wearing pretty things ever since I can remember. As a child I loved wearing sparkles, lace, and wearing princess dresses. Over the years my style has been a bit more refined and tasteful. Most of my clothes are thrifted and/or have been altered by me. I love finding unique pieces to add to my closet. I wear what makes me feel good and I think my style reflects my personality.”

“The earliest part of my style I can remember was my mom’s obsession with dressing my sister and me in matching outfits, ruffled stockings, and monochrome sets. We were like her own version of American Girl dolls. But as I grew up, I started finding my own sense of fashion. I found most of my inspiration from Disney stars: glittery hats like London Tipton, high-heeled boots like Olivia Holt, or skater dresses like Cat Valentine. In middle school, I started listening to Melanie Martinez and Bea Miller, which got me into Hot Topic. My favorite pieces were Five Nights at Freddy’s hoodies and T-shirts with rainbow-vomiting cats. By high school, I got hooked on Pinterest and tried to change up my style. I experimented with different makeup looks, constantly changed my hair (red, green, peekaboo purple, wolf cuts— you name it), and bedazzled everything I could find. Through all this, I found a love for baggy clothes and Y2K fashion which is the majority of my style today!”

“My style has drastically changed various times over the course of my life, but interestingly enough, I think I dress the most similar to my childhood self currently. Some things have remained constant over time, like being an avid headband wearer since birth. However, I’ve only really appreciated wearing more girly outfits when I was around the age I am in the photo, and now. The remaining 10+ years in between, I was loudly opposed to skirts, dresses, and accessories. As I’ve grown, I’ve learned to embrace all sides of my style, girly or not. Although I prefer more neutral colors now as opposed to bright ones, I believe that I’m finally learning to appreciate my youth and femininity in my outfits.”

“I have loved fashion ever since I was little! My style today is still inspired by the memories of my childhood. Growing up, I often attached myself to pink and tulleskirted looks introduced to me in my ballet classes and favorite princess movies. Meanwhile, my private school uniform grew my love for pleated skirts, plaid, flats, and the perfect preppy schoolgirl look that I still utilize for classes. In addition to these influences, I was also inspired by the elegant country club looks at my father’s job. I adored tennis whites, mini skirts, and cable-knit sweaters. Over time, my style has matured, but I continue to incorporate feminine touches like baby pink, bows, and pearls into my wardrobe. The delicate balance between my girlhood and timeless fashion defines my personal style today.”

“My style journey started in a very bright yet boyish manner to say the least. Colorful basketball shorts past the knee with a neon t-shirt adorned my body on a daily basis. To chic it all up, I was in love with a thin pair of silver and lime green wire glasses that I needed for both vision and style purposes. After discovering more about my own identity and heritage both as a queer and BIPOC individual, I began doing my research into where my communities come from and how they intersect. Through that journey, partnered with my journey into the world of the arts, I began to discover fashion as more than just what I put on my body; I discovered it as a feeling, a confidence, and a method of performance art that I can decide what to make of each and every day. In today’s time, after much research and trial-and-error, I would describe my style as honoring my roots and challenging my male gender role in fashion society through the use of second-hand staple pieces mixing a variety of textures, brands and proportions. ”

“I never really have a sense of style or really want to improve my own until a few years ago to be honest. I would only really throw something on, usually just tee shirts with something I like on it (that much hasn’t really changed I still love my graphic tees). However I have always loved observing other peoples fashion and I think my years of observation have really helped me craft my own personal style. One thing that has alway stayed the same is my headphones, its a necessary piece of my wardrobe then and now! Been jamming out since ‘03!”

“As a young child I loved colors and patterns, everywhere and in all parts of my outfit. At any chance I would throw on vibrant elements without much thought. As I’ve grown into the woman I am today, I’m more intentional about the pieces I wear and how I style my loved colors and patterns. Being intentional is vital to a put-together and stylish outfit. My own style evolution comes from the beauty of knowing of what works for me as an individual and what doesn’t.”

“Growing up, I was the kid who loved to dress up. Partly because it was entertaining, but also because it was a way for me to explore different aspects of myself. Acting in theatre showed me that a set of clothes and accessories could transform me into an entirely different person. A daredevil, a villain, a clown, a farmer, an astronaut - through fashion I could embody anything and become anyone. As I grew older, I began experimenting more to fit in as I explored new social groups. Eventually, I developed unique styles that reflected my mood at the time, becoming bolder and not afraid to stand out. Fashion has become a central thread in my creative journey and is more than just clothes to me, it’s storytelling without words.”

“As a kid, I was always drawn to crazy patterns and feminine colors. I had attachment pieces like scarves and puffer jackets that held so much affection I frequently wore them inside. If nothing matched, I hopelessly tried to find a way. As a college student who has finally learned the art of subtlety, I’ve transferred this energy into a love for Y2K, comfortable staple pieces, and a variety of treasured hair clips. I’ve also recently been getting into monochrome fits. Overall, I try to put my best foot forward by dressing in ways six-year-old me would be proud of.”

“As a child, my style mostly revolved around my Mom’s creative direction (with my Dad on hair), my shameless obsession with every shade of pink, or inspiration taken from the different homemade wardrobes I’d put together for my Barbie dolls. I also had a prominent phase where I would wear two (not just one, but two) vibrant clip bows in my hair to school every day, and paired with our muted, grey-tone uniforms throughout elementary school, it was unfortunately quite the statement. Whatever it was, I was always an artsy kid who loved wearing colors and finding ways to make my world more filled with them.
Growing older & deeper in the suburbs of Jersey, it wasn’t until I learned to truly open myself back up to my own culture that I was able to go through the motions of reclaiming my identity. I fell in love with 90’s fashion, street-style in Asia, and their influences upon the trends we have today. I became a huge enthusiast for thrifting and up-cycled fashion, and slowly relearned that crafty spark for creating your own voice and confidence through your clothes. From a rotation of vintage denims and a bold lip, to a love of wearing clothes “wrong,” my style today is one that lets my creative voice take over, and above all, pays an homage to that little girl & her bows who always knew her world was better with a little more color in it.”

“As a child, I threw cohesion to the wind as I scrounged through my wardrobe. For me, curating the perfect outfit meant mashing as many patterns together as possible; it was maximalism approaching the point of abstraction. All of this chaos was solely a means to distract myself from my secret fashion craving. Glitter was fun, silly, and flashy – too flashy for a quiet kid. Gemstones made me feel like a popstar, like a disco-ball, like a “girly-girl” — an unacceptable label at my elementary school, where our options consisted of either tomboyish nonchalance or social failure.
I buried my love for shimmery accessorization until my teenage years, where I bonded with other women who appreciated the same fashion, art, and media that I did. My confidence soared with the release of Euphoria (2019) and the following cultural surge of glittery make-up and accessories. Now, I merge the patterns I’ve always adored with the sparkle I was too afraid to flaunt as a kid. I know that as long as I allow myself to explore, my personal style will constantly evolve.”

“When I was a child and could start picking out my outfits, I couldn’t go anywhere without either a fedora, denim jacket, purse, or some black boots. Luckily, the closet I had as a child catered to those needs and looked my cutest. However, one day into my adolescence I decided that I am the only person that could cater to my fashion needs perfectly and had my mom teach me to sew. From that moment, creating garments became a hobby of mine, further fostering my inclination towards the fashion industry. I started to venture into fashion forecasting and became extremely acclimated to what’s in and what’s out. But if you ask me I’ve known what’s fashionable since I’ve been able to dress myself! As for my growth, I’ve traded my cross-body bags for snakeskin purses, black boots for some loafers, denim jackets for cool hoodies, and fedoras for flower claw clips. My style continues to evolve as I grow as a person and I can’t wait to find new ways to express myself!”

“My style from then and now has definitely changed over the years as I have evolved and grown as a person. As a kid, I mainly wore the clothes from my siblings and didn’t have much say in my wardrobe, but now I became more confident in experimenting with different trends and expressing my individuality through fashion. I used to wear many styles when I was young, from jeans and warm-colored shirts to frilly dresses. Even now, I still feel like my style depends on my mood and the occasion, but I am more comfortable taking risks and trying new things. I now wear mainly coquette, y2k, and mcbling styles, incorporating bold colors and unique accessories to make a statement. Overall, my fashion journey has been a reflection of my personal growth and self-expression, allowing me to embrace my individuality with confidence.”

“As a child, I was into very feminine clothing: lots of pinks, dresses, skirts, and accessories. During middle school, my style pivoted to purposefully being as quirky and outlandish as possible, which I specifically achieved by wearing Great Wolf Lodge ears and pink gloves every single day of sixth grade. (No, I’m not exaggerating). In early high school, my style became less of a focus, and my outfits were quite boring and uncoordinated. Quarantine, however, gave me the time for the biggest leaps in my style evolution, by allowing me to experiment freely and rebuild a more cohesive wardrobe. Nowadays, I like to incorporate a statement piece – whether bedazzled jeans or a top with a unique cut – and mix tight and loose clothing items to create a varied silhouette. As a result, my every day outfit usually takes the form of low waisted cargo pants or flare jeans with a more fitted top. And, just like my younger self, I never forget to accessorize – funky earrings, a bold necklace, and/or rings are always a necessity!”

“Growing up, I always loved a good headpiece. I would rock anything from a fedora to glittery headbands to bows. I really loved bows. My style did begin to shift in middle school, as I started to become conscious of all my peers and their personal styles. I was very much a victim of trying to keep up with trends and the cool kids, losing any sense of individuality I had. When I reflect on this, it was definitely a response to being a minority in a predominantly white area and school, where I felt this need to conform. I did every trend that was going around school and begged to be like all the “other girls.” It wasn’t until my senior year of highschool, I realized that I conformed completely to what I thought I had to be. I spent the years since rebuilding my personal style, being mindful of what I buy and how I style it to get back to myself. “College has immensely helped, as I was surrounded by diversity and saw people that looked like me who looked amazing and wore what they want. Everyday I grow more comfortable with myself and I show it off each day!

While my style has changed in many ways, there are some things that have stayed the same. I am very drawn to colors, leopard print, and a little black dress. Yet my style has changed as I’ve grown.

“My style has been anything but consistent throughout my life. At age two, I was obsessed with dressing in blue—so much that I even had a blue-themed birthday party. By seven, it was neon and glitter, because why blend in when you can glow? At twelve, I strutted into my “preppy era,” ditching the backpack for a pink tote and mastering the middle school catwalk in heels. By fifteen, I was a minimalist—beachwaved hair and mom jeans became my uniform. Now, I describe my style as “preppy boho,” where bold patterns mix effortlessly. Despite the changes in my wardrobe, one thing has remained constant: my passion for fashion. I’ve always been captivated by how style can transform a person’s mood and confidence. Fashion is ever-evolving, and while I’ve followed trends, I’ve always made sure to follow my heart too.”
