Style Line-Up: Aysia
Scroll through the Style Line-Up of Maryland-based fashion-lover, Aysia!
What’s your name, age + the city you’re from?
My name is Aysia. I’m 20 years old, and I was born and raised in Clinton, Maryland.
Style is showing who you are without having to speak! If you had to line-up your top 3 trends you’re feeling this season what would they be?
My number 1 trend would have to be layers! I feel like layering has really kicked up this year. I think it’s a good way to add different kinds of movement to your outfits. It’s also a great way to get the most out of your closet. It allows you to wear seasonal clothing all year round. For example, a cropped tank top could be worn over a turtleneck. Then you’d have a different look and be warm for the winter!
Coming in second would be Maximalism. I love seeing people turn up the notch and be completely extra when it comes to clothing. Funky patterns, hats, tights—everything. When I see the crazy outfits some people put together, sometimes I wonder how they pull it off.
My number three would be huge, chunky, platform shoes. I’ve wanted to get my hands on a pair, but I haven’t yet. I’ll have to gift myself a pair at some point!
Describe your style in 3 words:
That’s tough! I think my style is funky, a tad bit retro, and a little bit quirky.
Style inspo is everything! Who’s your ultimate fashion icon + why?
I’ll be honest here; I don’t usually keep up with what other people are wearing. I’ll usually see a celebrity or influencer rocking something unique and sometimes soak that into my own style.
However, I’d have to say my ultimate fashion icon is my mom! She’s been into fashion since she was a young girl and she loves dressing up. Our tastes are quite different, but when I put together outfits now for videos and pictures, I often wear clothes that she’s handed down to me.
Getting ready in the morning can be fun but stressful if you’re in a time crunch, what’s your go-to outfit if you’re in a rush?
Anything black! For me, black is the easiest color to style, and I own a lot of it. At one point, I kept my closet fairly neat. It was primarily color coded, and the black section was the largest. My go-to would be to pluck a hoodie or shirt from there, throw on some jeans, add a cute shoe (usually a boot) and be on my way!
What’s your number 1 rule when it comes to style?
It would be to make sure you are comfortable with what you are wearing and that you love it! I absolutely hate feeling “meh” in an outfit. I think any outfit that you choose to rock should feel like a second skin. It’s often a reflection of you, and you should feel good in it!
