This week, The Pioneer took a trip to Whitman’s clothing hotspot, Goodwill, and asked junior Nicky Khor to create his best outfit and give us his best fashion advice.

“My mother always told me I looked good in earth tones––a lot of browns and olive greens––due to my complexion. What can I say? I get my fashion inspiration from my mother, actually. She knows what she’s talking about. This first outfit, I feel, is going back to my roots both figuratively and literally––I look like a tree.”

“The corduroy … I’m not [a corduroy person] in general, but I want to try to become one. I find them very comfortable … I just want to try them myself.”

“I would actually buy the brown corduroys if they were in the right length, and the [green] sweater as well. I also like what I’m wearing right now.”

“Mixing and matching is super important. The right idea is to have a selection of basic colors and then build around that, not to buy specific outfits.”

“My look has been changing a lot lately. I [used to be] the guy in jeans and a sweatshirt. I think that’s really comfortable and [there’s] a lot to be said about that style of dress, but lately I’ve taken to putting a little more thought into how I dress. Sharper clothes … simple, but look good.”

“[My general fashion philosophy] is don’t show up nude.”
