Josh likes ties, neon, and the 80’s. Kyle is more zen and monochromatic, and admits to looking up to Josh due to his adventurous fashion sense. While Josh may not always fit into Kyle’s clothes, this duo tries their best to share as much as possible, wardrobe-wise. Their fashion goals are different: Kyle is about comfort and Josh is about pizazz, but they make it work!
Be honest! Do you have an item in your wardrobe that you have worn twice (or more) in a row without washing just because it’s so perfect?
Josh: I feel like all of my jeans fall under that category. And any vibrantly colored shirt where I don’t want the color to fade.
Kyle: If I’m being completely candid and honest, it would be my green-yellow sweatpants. They are just ridiculously comfy.
You two live together. Does that mean no item of clothing or accessory is off limits for borrowing? If so, what is your favorite item to steal?
Kyle: Yes! I love rummaging through Josh’s clothes. He has a lot of nice clothes. My favorite items that I wear all the time are his black, dress boots and most of his graphic tees.
Josh: Unfortunately, I don’t have my pick of the litter when it comes to Kyle’s clothes. We have different body types, he’s slimmer where I am boxier, and so it’s harder for me to find something of his that fits my body well.
Which fashion decade speaks to you most?
Kyle: I don’t have a specific decade that speaks to me. I never over think my outfit. I just wear what’s comfortable and go from there.
Josh: I really love the 80s: skinny ties, neon, graphic tees, etc. The 80s were just so much fun and fearless. People wore what they wanted and didn’t care if it looked ridiculous.
In your opinion, is Toledo a city of style?
Josh: Of course it is. Having been apart of this city for over 10 years now, and experiencing different people’s styles from grocery stores, to downtown bars, to shopping malls, Toledo has it’s own style. I feel like many people would disagree, but sometimes people forget that fashion is completely subjective and fluid. What one person might think is ugly or garish; someone else might think is trendy and gorgeous. Not to sound cliché, but ‘beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.
