In this series, read how four Harding students have made fashion part of their personal stories.\u00a0Follow this link<\/a> to see the full spread.<\/em><\/p>\n

Loving fashion and knowing how to style an outfit is something sophomore, Roosevelt Presley knows a thing or two about. Presley is best known on campus as someone who has great style.<\/p>\n

Presley grew up in California and then moved to Dallas. Both are big fashion hubs that he said ultimately helped him shape and define his keen eye for style.<\/p>\n

An eye for fashion is something that first started with Presley\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy dad has a great sense of style. He is a very classic man who has an old-school style,\u201d Presley said. \u201cI learned how to dress and appreciate style from him, even though we dress differently. My mom is very neat and orderly, which is something you can see in the way I dress.\u201d<\/p>\n

Presley said he would love to make a living in the fashion industry. He has a passion for photography, which started in college, and he has dreams to become a fashion photographer one day.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love being able to see fashion through photography,\u201d Presley said. \u201cIt\u2019s cool to see all the different styles\u2013how I, as someone who takes the photos, can capture that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finding a nice classic item such as a button-down shirt and pairing it with something that pops, like black shiny Chelsea boots, is a style trick the Presley often puts into his look.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would describe my style as a very urban, put together look,\u201d Presley said. \u201cIt\u2019s classic, but I will also mix it up by having ripped jeans or something that pops. I find most of my items, whether classic or not, from ASOS, H&M or thrifting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trend: Faux fur.<\/p><\/div>\n

According to sophomore Isaac Davis, a longtime best friend of Presley\u2019s, Presley is recognized on campus by his style and the way he carries himself. The people closest to him even say he is one of the most fashion-forward people they know.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe (Presley) says very little but he can speak through his outfits,\u201d Davis said. \u201cAnd what he says is that he is smooth. He is always put together and looks like he is from GQ.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having a well-defined, classic style is important to Presley.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing well dressed to me is more than just what I am wearing,\u201d Presley said. \u201cI think first impressions are very important, and I want to show that I think that with how I dress.\u201d<\/p>\n

Presley is known to others as someone who has great style and is a great influence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
