How would you describe your style?

I would say my style changes from day to day. Some days I’m more edgy with piercings and darker colors and the very next day I can be in a polo and khaki shorts. I like to keep people guessing I suppose.

Favorite item you own? 

I know it sounds crazy but I have a pair of underwear that makes me feel really outgoing! So it makes me present whatever I wear over it with confidence as well. A pair of underwear can change your life, just saying!

What’s your least favorite trend?

I don’t really have a least favorite trend. Yeah some I personally don’t want to participate in but they are a trend for a reason. Some people like it and people should be able to express themselves any way they want to and not care about what others think.

What are your winter necessities?

I’ve been known to wear shorts and sandals in the winter so clearly I put the way I look over the possibility of frostbite. I guess I could recommend a nice sweater over a button up for guys and I know it sounds weird but I’ve heard guys say they like a girl in a “boyfriend” style baggy hoodie.

Where do you get most of your clothes?

I have clothes from everywhere and some I’ve even made myself. But I suggest if you have an idea for a crazy outfit, try going to the thrift store or Gabe’s over in Beckley for a cheap way to explore a new style.

What trends are you excited for in the new year?

With the way trends are coming and going it’s hard to keep up with them. But honestly I love how everyone is able to do their own thing without it being ridiculed by others and I hope that continues in the upcoming year!

Who are your style inspirations?

My style inspirations honestly are just personal preference. If I look good and feel good then I wear it. I don’t look at others for what I think I should wear. Yeah I may like a thing someone’s wearing but I always try to put my own spin on things.

Chloe Mansheim, 17, senior

How would you describe your style?

My style is honestly all over the place. It’s hard to find a way to describe it because my style changes every day.

Favorite item you own?

I’d say my favorite item I own is either my red snakeskin pants from Urban Outfitters or my silver booties from Yarid’s!

What’s your least favorite trend?

I honestly don’t have a least favorite trend. Don’t get me wrong, there’s definitely trends that don’t look good on me; however, someone else could wear those things and totally pull them off.

What are your winter necessities?

My winter necessities are jackets and other layering pieces. Layering is so important in the winter to stay warm, and it adds more to every outfit.

Where do you get most of your clothes?

I get most of my clothes from Wolf Creek and various mall stores like American Eagle.

What trends are you excited for in the new year?

Some trends I’m super excited for are midi skirts and cute little hair clips.

Who are your style inspirations?

I have many style inspirations. I love to browse Pinterest for outfit ideas along with getting ideas from people in the halls at school. Some of the people whose style I get lots of inspiration from are Anni Columbo, Gillian Snyder, and Lauren Rodgers!
