How would you describe your style?
Baggy and free – being comfortable is my number one priority.
Where do you like to shop?
I’m a cheap guy, I don’t like to spent too much money on clothes. I like skateboarding brands but a lot of them charge £40 for t-shirt. My favourite shop is probably Asos because of the diversity of choice.

I’m a skateboarder so I take a lot of inspiration from the skateboarding scene. In terms of my hair, my dad is my inspiration – he had this exact same mullet in the 1980s.
Poppy Gilfillan, 20, from Dunfermline

How would you describe your style?
It is very boyish. I would say I dress like a boy in a garden and little bit whimsy.

Charity shops, Vinted and Depop. I’m addicted to finding a bargain.

Frida Kahlo. I love her style, although I’m not really channelling her today!

Charity shops and sales.
