where do you get yr style influences from?

sometimes i'll be walking through birmingham city centre and i'll come across a group of young guys (usually about 14-18) who are dressed in practically the same outfit with varying shades of chino and van colour. and it always makes me wonder if these people actually aim to look alike and if their friends are their main influence?

i think everyone does take an influence (even if it's tiny) in the way they choose to present themselves from the people they hang out with, but these people take to a complete extreme.

i think i do dress like some of my closest friends, mainly because we grew up together, listening to the same music and being into the same things. i think i probably am the most "alternative" of my friends as i actually still listen to a lot of music (e.g: hardcore/post-hardcore) that many of my friends grew out of in their late-teens and kinda went a bit more mainstream.

i think tumblr is a massive influence in my style, i'm forever seeing new clothes or outfits (handmade or otherwise) on tumblr that i want to recreate. infact, i think it's probably my main influence.

do any of you use fashion blogs or keep up with the fashion world itself (@flyingjesus our in-house fashion designer here at habboxforum hahah).

My main style influence has always been from some of the more accessible - but still quality - brands in France. A lot of my stuff is from Lacoste so I often have that sort of look about me. That being said, it kind of puts me out of place here in Québec because everyone here is dressed so absolutely casually compared to back home that I confess I have changed my wardrobe a bit to avert staring.

A cardigan with a button-up shirt underneath is rarely seen here like it is common back home and I noticed in the hotel pool that my bathing suit was considerably smaller and tighter than the long shorts that the other guys wear! Of course, I was embarrassed and got some new stuff immediately. It is culture shock!

always take my 'style' from the music i listen to, but in reality i only wear band stuff so its not really a style at all

if by stylish you mean she looked like a walking primark advert!!

erm i don't consciously buy anything that i've seen on other people or advertisements - except if it's pixie lott cause i love her style or if i see someone in the street wearing shoes i like then i might think about buying them. i definitely wouldn't wear anything my friends wear! they're so boring but then again i don't have much style either. i have to admit i'm mostly influenced by asian cultures such as what korean or japanese celebs wear because they're always so goddamn pretty.

my favorites items of clothing atm, i love them.

I don't really have a style. I live in trackies/joggers though.. or lounge pants. I dress very man-ish but still manage to keep it girly. I just wear what suits me and what is comfy. :)
