Tell us about yourself.
I would describe myself as someone who can be pretty balanced – I can be loud and make jokes and am probably sometimes annoying but I can be quiet and reserved at times as well. In my free time I like to watch YouTube videos and play video games on my PS4, basically what a normal teenager my age would do. Also I love going to town to shop or watch films and hang out with my friends.

What’s your style?
My style of clothing is very casual. It can change at times, especially when I see something I like, but normally I would wear cargo pants, a hoodie and maybe an oversized flannel jacket. When I want to wear something a bit more formal I usually wear a nice blazer jacket and match it with a turtle neck or a nice shirt. I love wearing high shoes like Jordan’s as it fits the casual look I always go for. Recently I have started wearing jewellery like chains and earrings.

Any items you can’t do without?
The one piece of clothing I couldn’t do without would probably be hoodies. I seriously don’t know what I would do without them.

Who influences your look?
I take inspiration from everyone that I see maybe on Instagram or on social media but the one person that has really influenced my style would be Tobi Brown from the UK YouTube group, Sidemen. He also wears a lot of casual clothing and was the reason I started wearing cargo pants.

Tell us about what you’re wearing in this shoot?
I loved the pink/salmon-coloured suit, I thought it was really cool and different and I think Jay Z also wore something similar to that suit a while back. Also, the colour really brings out my eyes and matches my complexion.

Lastly, any words of advice on how anyone else can express themselves with their style?
For anyone struggling to express themselves I would say to visualise what your ideal style is and just go for it. At the end of the day, what you wear is totally up to you – even if the coolest thing is not your vibe, you should find what is your vibe and go for it. I  think it’s cool that a lot of people’s styles reflect heavily on their personality. Everyone has different personalities, so everyone also has different styles.

Like it or not, there’s a fair amount of ‘people pleasing’ that goes hand in hand with planning your wedding. While you might love the idea of a big bash where everyone is dancing and hugging with wild abandon, there may be people close to you who still don’t envisage this as ‘safe’ behaviour. And while ‘your wedding, your way’ is a mantra close to my heart, we need to be mindful and respectful that not everyone is on the same page when it comes to mass gatherings in a post-lockdown world.

So, what do you do?

Set your intentions. Make sure everyone knows the vibe beforehand so that they can decide if they are comfortable with it or not.

The main things that people might be concerned about will be things like how many people will be in attendance, mask etiquette, social distancing, how the food is served, dancing, etc. A great way to cover this would be to include a list of Covid safety measures in your invitations to put people at ease. Of course, you can be charming with your wording, so it doesn’t sound too much like a school trip!

There are so many ways to put a creative spin on things to ensure that you are putting people’s minds at ease without losing sight of the fact that it’s still a special occasion for people to relax and enjoy!

Reassuringly, the one thing that the pandemic could never have an impact on when it comes to weddings, is style! Even the smallest of celebrations proved themselves to still be beautiful, maybe even more so as it’s easier to make a big impression when there is less going on, right?

Historically, there are a lot of boxes to tick when planning your wedding. If there’s one good thing to come out of Covid weddings it’s been the chance to pare back all of the details, putting ‘you two’ at the heart of it all which is exactly as it should be.

Forget Covid restrictions for just a sec, I’m looking forward to seeing more couples throwing caution to the wind when it comes style restrictions on your wedding day.

Weddings are a celebration, and what better way to display that than through your own personal style?! Formal, uncomfortable and drab wedding outfits are a thing of the past! Here’s to expressing your personality on a day that’s all about ‘you’, whether it be colourful suits for the groom squad or even the bride squad?! Suits as separates, statement accessories, comfy trainers… whatever makes you feel like the best version of ‘you’. I’m here for it and your guests will be too!

Tell us about yourself.
I would say I am calm (sometimes a bit too slow haha), kind, family-oriented, friendly and a little shy. And definitely more emotional than rational. My friends would say I’m a bit weird, cute, scared of insects, warm heart, smiley, impulsive, kind, caring, a bit of a hippie, a dreamer…

How would you describe your style? 
I like vintage style. I like to mix up vintage pieces with current ones. But mostly it depends on my mood. Sometimes I feel like being very feminine and girlie, and other times I would go full-on tomboy. When I lack inspiration I just go online and look for ideas from other women in fashion that I admire – at the moment my favourite style icons are Elsa Hosk and Matilda Djerf. But I’m also influenced by friends and icons from the past, like Audrey Hepburn.

Is there any item of clothing you can’t do without?
A good pair of denim. My favourite styles are straight-cut and mom jeans. But all through lockdown I’ve been looking forward to really dress up and wear high heels.

What felt most ‘you’ in your outfits for this shoot?
I loved that both looks had something of my own, it made me feel very comfortable. In the first outfit I wore my own denim and in the second one my Dr Martens boots which, matched with the blazer, really looked like something that I would normally wear.

Lastly, any words of advice on how anyone else can express themselves with their style?
I think it’s very important to follow your instinct and to wear what you feel like, even if it looks weird or funny. Also keep your mind open and try different things. I surprised myself trying out clothes that I didn’t think I was cool enough to wear or that were too out-there, but then I ended up loving them. And pay attention to people that you admire, how they dress, what do they like. That helped me to develop my style based on my personality and on people that I look up to.

Tell us about yourself
I would say am and outgoing person and fun to be around. I spend my free days on gym … I’m there about 2-4 hours of the day. I also play video games to keep my mind sharp and out of unwanted thoughts hahaha. I love traveling whenever I can.

Do you have any signature ways you put an outfit together?
To be honest I don’t have any personal style – growing up, my family never had any money so I had to be ok with anything I had and could put on. I learnt to wear the same things but style them to make them look different. So now I will rock anything that’s in front of me hahahaha.

Who influences your style? (this could be famous people or people in your life)
Tbh no one person really influences my style … but a bit of the Asian way of dressing, I love it. Especially Koreans.

What have you been most looking forward to wearing in the post-lockdown world?
I’ve been waiting to get into the summer vibes!! It’s been far too long without some nice shorts and T-shirts and that’s all you need – simple!

Any advice for anyone who needs encouragement to express themselves with their style?
I would say what’s the point trying to be like everyone when u could be the next big style change in the world? Just be you and be different. There’s nothing fun in being or trying to be like others of fit in. Make the difference/be the difference 😉
