Read on to learn more about his classic style, his clever sources of inspiration and his advice for girls with handbags.

A Polo vest and shirt, Walmart khakis, a thrifted hat that I bought while I was visiting Paris, and lime green accented Sperry shoes I’ve had for forever.
What are your favorite stores?
Club Monaco (for inspiration, not necessarily for purchasing ), Urban Outfitters clearance rack and the Polo Outlet Store in Lebanon, Tenn.
Who are your favorite style icons?
Kanye West because he can wear whatever and it will be fashion. Also, Frank Sinatra with his fedora is a classic icon.
Most disliked Vandygirl trend?
Longchamp bags. If you’re going to have a big bag, then make it more fashionable.

My straw fedora. I’m not notoriously known for it around campus, but I’d like to be.
And lastly, describe your style in three words ...
