Can you describe your style in 3 words?
Experimental, comfortable and versatile
Why did you choose those words?
I chose experimental because I love to borrow from all my friends and experiment with their clothes and their style. Comfortable, because you always need to be comfortable, and versatile because I love to take outfits and items and dress them up and dress them down in different ways.
Talk us through the outfit you’re wearing right now…
The outfit I’m wearing right now is two of my investment pieces that I have worn into the ground. This is my favourite jumper that I wear everywhere. All my friends thought these were the only clothes I owned for a long time.
How has your style evolved?
I don’t think my style has evolved but I think it has kind of matured, but I am still curious to try new things.
What’s one item you couldn’t live without?
I probably couldn’t live without this jumper, to be honest.
What does personal style mean to you?
Personal style to me means freedom to dress however you want to dress.
Where do you get your inspiration from?
I get my inspiration from my friends’ wardrobes, and probably from nights out.
Do you send your friends outfits and ask them for reassurance?
I always ask my friends, especially before a big night out or an event.
Are your friend's wardrobes similar?
I think me and my friends’ wardrobes are quite different, but there are always similar basics but the direction that we take things is quite different. That’s why I love sharing with them so much because I get to dress up in a different way than I normally would.
In the future would you consider sharing your wardrobe with your friends?
I already do share too much with my friends, so I am very excited to be able to facilitate that easier [with Whering Social]. I have quite a small wardrobe, so I love to be able to dip into my friends' wardrobes and try on things they have.
Is there something in your friend’s wardrobe that you want to borrow?
My housemate has a really nice Boda jacket that I am not allowed to touch.
What do you like about Whering?
Whering has definitely helped me to see my clothes as more of a representation of who I am, and has been a way to curate what I own and step away from mindless consumption and buying things that six months later I no longer like. It’s helped me to drill further into who I am and what I like.
What’s your advice to someone who is developing their personal style?
My advice would be to experiment and stop looking at people who don’t know you for advice or how they style something. Just focus on what makes you feel good and go to the friends that know you the best.
