For many, fashion is a form of self expression and individuality. Junior Gary Guan and Sophomore Hailey Wada express their personality through their one-of-a-kind but trendy ensembles.
Guan’s outfits revolve around a street-inspired vibe. One of Guan’s favorite outfits consists of a classic plaid button down, dark tapered pants and ankle leather boots to accessorize. Guan has been stemming his fashion statements from style icons such as YouTubers Luca Fersko and JairWoo.
Wada caters her style around what ever she feels comfortable in. Regardless of which outfit she wears, comfort is Wada’s main priority. She enjoys a wide variety of styles and often adds her own twist to current fashion trends. Wada finds inspiration everywhere, from magazines to a classmate’s outfit, and she tailors to a variety of trends.
Guan’s spiffy leather boots pull the look together by adding a earthy undertone to the mix.
“I think the main thing that sets mine apart is the hint of a gentlemenlike appearance,” Guan said. “I like how my style can be classy yet very casual.”
Guan styles his hair in a simple yet fashionable way, putting his hair up in a quiff.

Guan introduces color to his outfit by pairing a simple white t-shirt with a bright red plaid flannel.
“My outfits are usually decided by the weather,” Guan said. “I love how you can layer different pieces together so the cold days are when I actually wear the outfits I really like.”
Guan keeps his outfit fashionable and simple by wearing signature black skinny jeans. The darker tones of his pants allow for his shirt to be the center of attention.
“Fashion to me is like a gateway to creativity,” Guan said. “A plus side to it is feeling hella fresh when your outfit is on point.”
As a statement piece, Wada wears a polka dot button up that greatly stands out from the rest of her outfit.
“A lot of the times I tend to switch up my style,” Wada said. “One day I’d be wearing something super fancy and the next I’d be in sweatpants and jeans.”
Wada adores adding pops of vivid color to her outfit by pairing her darker colored clothes with brightly hued pants.
To keep her outfit casual and comfortable, Wada chooses to wear sandals.
“A big thing for me with fashion is wearing whatever you feel good in,” Wada said. “Any of my favorite outfits are pieces I genuinely like and it doesn’t matter that much to me whether people like it or not.”
