My five wardrobe essentials:
Hangover Jumpers
Not exclusive to
hangover days, Hangover Jumpers are usually oversized and are even comfortable
to look at.
Bowties
Sometimes it’s better to
buy ready-tied as they can be difficult to do up yourself. Although generally
kept for formal occasions, the casual bowtie can complete any outfit.
Braces
Dress them up or dress
them down, braces come in all sorts of styles and colours and are a favourite
accessory of mine. Sometimes difficult to pull off though.
Skinny Jeans
Whatever the
colour, skinny jeans are the staple of my wardrobe. Make sure you get the right
cut/fit though because nothing is worse than ill-fitting jeans.
Converse
Again, a range of
colours and styles available, what’s not to love?
One trend I'll never understand:
The
checked-shirt/boot cut jeans combo. Maybe that’s just a Donegal thing. . . ?
MUST HAVE:
House of Holland slogan tee. I finally got one: 'Back to mine, Calvin Klein'. I'll never take it off.
One thing I want to try more often:
Headbands!
Five Style Icons:
Nick Grimshaw
My idol in general, Nick
always has the best look. As Henry Holland puts it “He can look as good in
ripped jeans and a good knit as he does in a three-piece”. My own personal
style is very similar to Nick’s and I really admire his clothing choices.
Louis Tomlinson
Louis’ style has really
developed since One Direction first formed; he’s gone from stripes, through
braces and come out the other end with a great personal style. We both really
go for Topman clothing. A lot of the clothes in my wardrobe are very similar to
some of Louis’ clothing.
Henry Holland
Known for his
tongue-in-cheek designs for his fashion label, Henry’s own personal style is
often quirky and bold too. Master of patterns he’s inspired me to go a little
wilder recently in terms of colours and pattern clashing.
Jeremy Davis
Paramore bassist Jeremy
Davis was my style icon from the age of about fourteen. Once they donned the
red skinny jeans for the Misery Business video they became my must have item.
Since then he’s made a number of choices such as braces and bowties that have
inspired me to go out and try the looks myself.

Chuck Bass
Maybe more so in the
earlier seasons, but Chuck’s style is generally quite bold and sometimes
outlandish. Although he dropped the trademark scarf, he always maintained the
expensive suits and coloured coats.
Other influences of note:
