Fashion is something that can mean nothing to someone and mean everything to someone else. In my case it means everything.
Before going any further let me give you a little bit of insight into who I am and why I rely on my style.
My name is Eoin and I’m an alcoholic. Just kidding I actually don't drink. I'm rather reserved and quiet. It takes me a long time to open up to new people and so most people don't really get to know a lot about my personality and who I am as a person and this often leaves me feeling voiceless and unseen.

This is why my style is so important to me, it is my voice, it is a reflection of my personality. I don't often express how I’m feeling and when I do I usually don't do it in the best way and to combat this I use my style to portray how I feel, whether that means I’m wearing all black when I’m sad to big bright bold colours when I’m not sad.
As a bigger person, I always feel like I’m boxed in or should feel boxed into things that people think I should wear but I don't let that stop me. You will never see me wearing a weird anime logo tee, instead, you will see me wear a clean top that is part of a conceptual outfit, you will never see me wear bootcut and lose jeans you will see me in skinny jeans even if society doesn't think they're for me. I don't wear what society wants me to wear, I want to wear what I want to wear.
When I'm wearing what I'm wearing I’m making a statement to the world, I am expressing my voice and my personality and I know I'm stylish. You may see me and see that I have nothing designer but just because its expensive and designer doesn't mean it looks good. If there's anything I want someone to take away from this its that never wear something just because there's a big label behind it, don't wear something just because your friends made fun of you for wearing it. If it's what you like its what you like. If it's expressing you then go for it.
