Chris can be said to wear things with character - a moth-eaten cardigan from his grandpa, bracelets from his mother, Allen Edmond lace-ups from his father, and some of his own pieces thrown in for good measure. Something old, something new. He has a strong sense of what he thinks it means to be the best-dressed man in a room. Enough to warrant a second look, but never to the point where people stare and wonder, a clear indicator of "trying too hard."
It's hard to miss the excited hand gestures and intense look in his eyes as he talks about style as a means of communication, the importance of clothing that accentuate one's assets, and his time researching in Vietnam. He is truly excited about these topics, which I find great to see. His responses to my questions are deliberate and thoughtful, making me reevaluate my own answers to those questions. All the while, I can't help but notice the details of his outfit - how he rolls over the sleeves of his cardigan to show a bit of shirt cuff, places his tie inside his shirt, and helps bring the entire ensemble together with pink ankle socks. This guy really knows how to get it right.
And best of all, his sense of style extends to more than just the clothes he wears around campus. Just check this out from last year's CCBDC Concert.
Bad. Ass.
