Wilkins Ventura, a junior, has a keen sense of style that stands out in a crowd. Ventura, who is currently double majoring in environmental science and music with a minor in women’s and gender studies, attributes much of his style inspiration to fashion blogs on Tumblr, including mrqqs.tumblr.com. According to Ventura, following blogs is how he is able to stay caught up on some of the latest trends in menswear.
Ventura is seen here wearing a Workwear Teak mock-neck sweater paired with a wool-hooded duffle coat in navy, Oakland Green skinny jeans, and rugged lace-up boots, all from American Eagle Outfitters. “I don’t usually have a whole outfit mostly from one place,” he explained, “I have recently been on an American Eagle shopping spree.” His striped leather-fabric belt is from a retro menswear store located in the South End, Bobby from Boston.
As for a few of his go-to shopping destinations around town, H&M, Urban Outfitters, and The Garment District in Cambridge all make the cut. Ventura occasionally shops at Gap and Banana Republic, as well, however; “Banana Republic is only if I want to watch my bank account plummet into oblivion,” he said.
