Does anyone or anything in particular inspire you to dress the way you do? Yeah, I definitely say so. I kind of bring that to my community, my upbringing, by the way I dress. My sense of dress honestly has always been an expression of the inner me. Do you feel like anything else like social media and trends has inspired you to dress the way you do? Definitely, definitely. I think especially black TikTok creators who show themselves doing outfits of the day really inspire me. Right, that's a good answer. Now, how would you actually describe your dress sense? I would say not too big on my own ego, I'd say quite classy. That's timeless and as well quite laid back, like laxy. Right, okay. So do you have any favourite piece of clothing? Yeah, I'd say just thinking about it now, I think my favourite piece of clothing would definitely be my hoodies and like tracksuits mainly. Yes, that's a good choice. I quite like tracksuits myself. I feel like they're very casual and easy to throw on, but what makes you like it so much? I'd definitely say I do like the casual side of it all and I get where you're coming from, but I think when you've got a certain tracksuit with a nice brand, a nice colour, it can make something from looking touche to really classy and, you know, quite retro. What do you think about the comments that surround stereotypes of tracksuits? Honestly, I've looked over them, you know, as a young black boy, I've faced them my whole life. I've never really understood the severity of it, but I think they're quite mean and harsh, especially to associate a style of clothing with such negative meaning behind it, with such a negative and revealing meaning behind it, may I just add. Do you feel like these stereotypes are more towards black people because they come from malicious intent? Yeah. That's a great response, actually. I think it was very insightful and I hope some of you viewers take away from that with an aim to educate yourself and other people.
