Ryan Ruff
sophomore, criminology
“I like to put on different clothes — you’ve just got to be confident in what you wear, you’ve got to sell it.”
Ruff said he likes to dress for both comfort and class, from pea coats to camouflage-print pants.
Favorite fashion trend: “Urban wear — it fits me. I love to put on suits, but I like the urban wear, it’s our generation, that’s what we wear.”
Least favorite fashion trend: “I don’t really like the bulky look, the baggy clothes. I don’t like tight clothes, but you’ve got to be fit.”
Advice to a fashion-defunct friend: “Whatever you have, own it. Be confident and that’s what it all boils down to. You have to have confidence.”

Ashley Quintana
senior, contemporary dance
“I like things that stand out and kind of pop, just unique that you don’t see everyone else wearing.”
Quintana said she avoids popular trends, picking out and piecing together her outfits as she goes along.
Favorite fashion trend: “I put my own stuff together. I don’t pay attention to popular trends, though one thing is the bows, I like the bows. They’re just cute.”
Least favorite fashion trend: “I don’t like skinny jeans. They don’t look right on me. Most girls that I see look good in them, but guys, no.”
