"Probably half of my clothes are from the thrift store that I’ve been visiting since I was 21. Part of that is because I can find stuff that fits me. I feel like the modern man has a different body type from me, so since I’m very small it’s hard for me to find men’s clothes that fit me the way that they should fit. Sometimes I shop in the teen boy department but a lot of that kind of clothing doesn’t fit with my lifestyle. So it’s complicated. I have to know which brands work for me and which don’t. I generally wear t-shirts and jeans and sneakers and sometimes boots. I wear a lot of button downs and flannels. I’m kind of a practical dresser to be honest. Honestly I’m pretty practical in general about my life. Not my creative life. But I have the same Northface jacket that I’ve had for 10 years. Mostly I focus on glasses being the thing that sets me apart from everyone else. I’m on the hunt for a new pair of glasses and it’s been rough. The guy at the glasses store knows me by my name. So I guess I’ll pick and choose some signature pieces that I think are cool. I like to think that I have good dad style – preppy but practical. Or teenage-boy-with-great-hair. I’m not an accessory person. I have black belt and a brown belt, I’ll wear the same necklace every day. No scarves or ties or bracelets or rings. There’s this one friend of mine that always has a Christmas party and I always want to look good, but I feel like every year I wear the exact same thing. And I’ve had the outfit for like ten years. So now I’m like, when am I going to change my style?"Read the entire thing here.
