Describe your style in 5 words:
First off, sizeless. We all know
clothing sizes are a myth! The
number on your clothing is not
the number for your body, it’s
just the number for sizing the
actual fabric, so even though
I might be size whatever, I’m
still going to probably have
clothes that are every size
between, up and down. I
don’t buy clothes for the
size, I buy them for how they
look, so a big part of how I
dress is wearing oversized
things like that. Next up,
unisex and neutral. I love
browns, blacks, greys and
whites. Old—both in how
they look and also just old.
I also mix patterns like no-
body’s business.
Favourite stores in Reykjavík:
Definitely Extraloppan. I really love
old clothing that people don’t want
to use anymore and either they fit
me perfectly or I get to modify and
change them. Otherwise I really love
H&M Men. The best pants that ever fit
me are at H&M Men.
I also love Fatamarka"urinn and
Gyllti kötturinn.
Favourite piece:
These pants are my favourite pants
for sure, but this is just basically
my favourite outfit. That said, I
think my favourite things are knit
sweaters. I’m always cold, for one,
so they keep me warm, but they
look good with a dress, pants or
whatever.
Something I would never wear:
Cheetah print.
Lusting after:
A nice faux leather chest harness.
Also, low Doc Martens.
