Alex’ s love of fashion started when he was in the third grade and was allowed to pick out all of his school clothes for the first time. He says that he was shy growing up so he spent a lot of time learning about brands and types of clothing through magazines and online. Alex says,“ It all has come back to help me, and I’ ve learned even more while working retail since I was 16.”
Alex continues by saying,“ I’ m very open to changing my style, and I get bored of looks pretty quickly, but I tend to revisit most of them. My closet could dress any guy from a lumberjack to a businessman it varies so much. I think that’ s the best way to keep inspiring yourself though, have a wide variety of clothes so you can make new trends.”
When asked where he draws inspiration Alex states,“ When i was in high school I read GQ, and Details like the bible.” He says that is where he gathered lots of good tips on developing your personal style and also how to wear various items. Now Alex is always keeping his eye out for new styles and trends.“ The smallest detail in one outfit will give me ideas for ten more.”
His favorite place to shop is Cotton On, where he works and therefore gets a discount!“ They have awesome clothes for cheap!” He leaves you with these shopping tips,“ Know what you like to wear, and work from there. Always try on something outside of your norm, and if it fits and looks really good buy it in every color.”
