“I don’t know, I just have my own style.”

Brittany doesn’t have any hard and fast rules for fashion, but dresses based on whatever she thinks is “cute.” She draws inspiration from well dressed people around campus, but also from fashion magazines. With spring around the corner, she said she plans on wearing less clothing, but focusing on quality clothes never the less.

“It’s a matter of taste. I don’t like to interfere if the
clothing’s bad.”

Ebadollah said fashion in Iran and America are pretty similar, but that the main difference is in the fact that most Americans don’t dress up as much or as often. With that in mind, he said that he favors clothing in the American trend such as tight short sleeves with curt collars, slim fitting jeans and polished leather shoes.

“Be who you are. Be how you are. Dress how you want to dress.”

Marcos sports a look near identical to Lil Wayne’s in a public speech about the rapper’s life. Usually, Marcos wears white tank tops and Jordan shorts, but said that Wayne’s fashion stands out because of the star’s ability to blend formal clothing with minute touches, such as the loose tie or baggy slacks, while
coordinating
colors.
