The State News: How would you describe your style?

Kyle Klopf: I don’t have a style. I try to be hip, but I don’t think I’m very hip. I like a lot of colors, but I also like a lot of neutrals, so I like setting my neutral colors off with a really bright color underneath or something. I don’t really know what my style is, kind of earthy sometimes, kind of really whack sometimes.

Erik Schneider: I just like solid earth tones, like layering them, I mean it’s pretty simple I guess. I mean, it’s pretty easy to just buy a bunch of earth tones and then layer them as I want. I like vests too, a lot — way too much, I have too many.

SN: Has your style changed since you came to college?

KK: Not really, no. I’ve always dressed kind of weird I think. It’s gone back and forth kind of, depending on the friends I have, I guess. I’m pretty malleable, so my style kind of changes with time, I guess.

ES: I’m completely opposite. I’ve definitely changed completely since high school. I was much more just like ‘I don’t care what’s going on,’ I never really did anything with my hair or anything like that. I was very anti-trying dressing up or anything like that, so I completely changed. I don’t know, I just got happier with myself, I feel.

SN: What influences your style?

KK: Pretty much whatever fashion is happening right now. I really like Marc Jacobs, so I look at his stuff a lot like his different lines and stuff and see what colors are in. I just really like what he does. I kind of form my style around him a little bit.

ES: I really like classic lines like classic colors, just the look. I kind of read The Sartorialist a lot, it’s a fashion blog online. He’s really into classic looks and just the way everything is cut, so it’s more about the fit and the way you pull it off and your confidence behind it than any particular thing that’s in at the time. It’s more of a timeless fashion, that’s what I really like.

SN: What is your favorite piece of clothing?

KK: Oh my god, that’s a really tough one. I really like all my zip-up hoodies, but I love cardigans. I have a blue cardigan with some pockets on it, and I really like that one. My black jeans, I have like stony jeans that I really like to wear, and moccasins. I’m always wearing moccasins.

ES: For me, I’d have to say it’s my blue sweater vest. Then I have a pair of blue Converse that I always wear too.

SN: Where do you get most of your clothing?

KK: Everywhere. I shop around completely. H&M, I have some stuff from Forever 21, Urban (Outfitters), American Apparel. I really like VOA (Volunteers of America), they have a lot of good stuff.

ES: Pretty much any Goodwill, you can always find fun stuff there. Mine would probably be the same as his, but I get most of my T-shirts from J-Crew, that’s the only T-shirt that really fits me. American Apparel doesn’t fit right, it either too big or too small. J-Crew is definitely the savior of my T-shirtness.

SN: How does your style change from your daytime look to your nighttime look?

KK: Usually I just wear the same thing all day and I’ll just throw on a cardigan or a hoody at night.

ES: I think it’s just the addition of a hoody or cardigan for me too.

KK: Maybe a hat.
