Fashion Q&A

Victoria Velasco
senior, fine arts

“I feel like when it comes to fashion I love to mix-match patterns but combine colors. Since I am an arts major, colors just kind of speak to me in different ways.”

Velasco said she likes her clothes to be as colorful as she likes her art, like this outfit with mixed patterns and matching colors with her scarf and sweater.

Favorite trend: “It’s the mix-matching of the patterns, because before it was a fashion faux pas — that you can’t mix patterns — but now it’s coming back pretty hard and pretty well.”

Least favorite trend: “I think it might be Ugg boots with shorts. It’s like taking one extreme to the next; it’s like you’re weather-ly challenged.”

Josh Melendez
Freshman, undecided

“My dad’s a surgeon, actually, and he’s always best dressed. He’s always looking his best, and I didn’t want to fall into his footsteps, but I always wanted to almost look as good as he did.”
Melendez said he likes to match or semi-match his wardrobe to look as sharp as his father.

Favorite Trend: “I love wearing gray; silver’s actually my favorite color. My hat is silver, my car is actually silver.”

Least Favorite Trend: “Plaid shorts, I’m just not a fan of those. You look like you ripped them off a picnic table and just started wearing them.”
