You can spot some great-looking people and cool outfits on the Wageningen campus. This column highlights some of them. This time, it’s Celine Mulders, a Master’s student in Nature and Forest Conservation.
‘Comfortable to wear is crucial for me, as are colour schemes. What you wear says a lot about you and how you want people to see you. It’s a non-verbal way of expressing your personality. So I mostly wear a lot of colour. A lot. My outfits get loads of compliments, which is nice. I like to stand out a bit, but I tend to forget what I’ve got on and that it may be striking – until someone remarks on it. It’s always a nice reminder of what I’m actually wearing.’
‘I get my clothes through Vinted, second-hand shops and clothes swaps. Sometimes people in the building where I live give clothes away by leaving them in the hall and I make use of that; occasionally there’s really nice stuff. I get my inspiration from my friends and from people like Florence Given, with pretty eclectic tastes. I follow them on social media. Style icons like those got me combining patterns and colours and experimenting with various looks, so that I have distinct and unique outfits. I put a lot of attention into makeup too, particularly highlighters and other nice details, and I try to make them gel with my outfit.’
