Week 1

Style POV

Relaxed. Laid back. Cozy but Fresh.

Christian Funk

If there’s one thing, you’ll notice about me it’s this: I wear sweats as much as possible. If it was acceptable, I’d never wear anything else. I believe the clothing we wear directly reflects our inner personality. The same descriptions for a person’s outer appearance can also be attributed to their inner being. I’d describe myself as laid back and I do emphasize comfort in my clothing preferences, but I also try to showcase a degree of personal flair to keep things fresh. Though I do like colors, I always find myself gravitating toward neutrals and tones. I love gray; sweatpants, hoodies, you name it, if it’s in gray, I’ll love it. That in mind, the one thing I’d like to tweak about my personal style is to incorporate more colors. I’d also like to experiment more and branch out –I need to take more risks with my style.

When I’m not wearing sweats, I still push for the same elements –comfort but with style/flair. Button-downs are great layered with a t-shirt underneath. I like to roll my sleeves up if it’s a long-sleeve and keep the shirt unbuttoned to keep things breezy and give the outfit a relaxed finish. Solid colors and pastels fit my style, but I also like patterns; checkered or even something tropical like a Hawaiian shirt (I’ve got a couple in my closet I’ve been waiting for the right occasion to bust out).

The price-point for my wardrobe is minimal. I’d love to flex and own designer but that just isn’t in my budget at the current status of my income. I, like anyone, like to get things for cheap, but sometimes cheap doesn’t last –you get what you pay for. I’d rather pay a little extra for the better-quality garment. (quality > quantity) I love thrifting! There’s nothing better than finding something super unique that you couldn’t possibly find anywhere else or for that thrift store price. I also like repurposing and making custom clothing.
