Street Style: Spotted on the High Street

Our everyday models reveal their thoughts on sustainable shopping, expression through fashion and trying styles outside of their comfort zone.

Kerry McManus

27, Works in the vintage boutique Om Diva

Outfit: Shirt Om Diva vintage one-of-a-kind, jeans Monki, runners Boohoo,  socks Nike, jewellery from a variety of shops including Chupi, Swarovski and a few items were picked up in New York

Top trend: I'm always a retro girl really, and I kind of feel like it's time for the animal prints to go back into the jungle. I'm really into textures and wooly, sheepskin items and a lot of midi lengths and layering. They're the only things that kind of need a push, and spots and scale need to back away and let other spots and nice crocodile textures have a moment.

2019 style resolution: I think the main statement I want to make is to stop trying to style myself for what makes my figure look good, and just have fun with style and be more creative because that's who I am. So I want to bring out more of what's inside rather than a "does this make me look as slim as possible" mentality. I think that's a big issue we don't really talk about. We're all trying to make ourselves look tiny and there's no need like.

Style icon: Probably Phoebe Buffet, whenever she comes into a room she stands out and my gran. My gran is definitely my biggest style idol.

Go-to shops: I kind of live in Om Diva to be honest. I just think the vintage is second to none. I do like a good bargain from Missguided and ASOS, but it's mostly kind of vintage I'm into. We do have a vintage shop here called Lucy's Lounge that's just a diamond in coal really.

Lika Arevadze

21, French & Sociology student at TCD

Outfit: Coat Forever 21, jumper charity shop, trousers Zara, runners Nike, rings some bought in Paris, & Other Stories and Swarovski, necklace present from her granny, bag Guess, glasses Moschino, watch Daniel Wellington

Top trend: I really like flared trousers at the moment

2019 style resolution: I think a bit more layering and colours, and clashing colours and patterns. At the moment I like my simple, classy look and sometimes I just want to change it up and go a little crazy.

Style icon: I have loads, but can't think of any now. A lot are from Instagram and French influences.

Go-to shops: I always used to go to Zara, but I'm trying to be more sustainable so I'm trying more charity shops and vintages shops. & Other Stories is my other favourite.
