Campus Couture: Chic Mr. Shane

There are some people who always come to school looking like they just picked up whatever piece of clothing was in their line of sight, that may or may not be clean (determined by the ever scientific “Sniff Test”).

Then there are others who are always dressed so fashionably that you wonder if they live in a clothing store. Or how freaking early they wake up to pull an entire outfit together before making the trek to class.

While everyone is fabulous in their own right, we thought we should celebrate the campus fashionistas of the world for their continued excellence in not looking like a hot mess for class. So, we started stalking those girls (and guys!) on campus to get a few pics and get some tips on their personal style. And maybe a restraining order or two. But it’s worth it to highlight fresh, unique wardrobe choices that show personality and the courage to wear what you believe in.

And to kick off this whole revolution I chose my friend Shane. I couldn’t think of a more fashionable person; he makes bold choices with his wardrobe daily, making him not only my best dressed guy friend, but my best dressed friend. Period. I mean, isn’t his whole silver eclectic vibe amazingly hot?

Here’s the deets:

Name: Shane Yang
Year: 2010
Major: English with a minor in Chinese
Shane in 3 words: Urban, metro, chic.

1) Describe your personal style.
Clean cut and sharp. You can never go wrong with the shirt and tie combo. I like to mix it up sometimes with a neon jacket or retro shades, but otherwise my outfits are pretty simple.

2) You can’t leave the house without your ____.
iPhone. Oh, and during the summer, my aviators.

3) Name your favorite place to shop.
The vintage shops along the streets of Shanghai are the best places in the world to shop. And also Zara.

4) What/who is the biggest influence on your style?
I like David Beckham – he always seems very polished and put together. Having a Spice Girl at your side isn’t bad either.

5) What’s your favorite trend, past or present?
The double-breasted jacket. Looks good on everyone, even my old man.

Do you have a friend who always looks like she’s workin’ the runway? Spot a super fly girl on campus? Snap a photo and send it to Editor@CollegeCandy.com and she could be featured in a future Campus Couture!
