No surprise here: Model ShaninaMShaik says she gains her personal style inspiration straight from the job
Author:Fawnia Soo HooPublish date:Apr 10, 2020We all buy clothes, but no two people shop the same. It can be a social experience, and a deeply personal one; at times, it can be impulsive and entertaining, at others, purpose-driven, a chore. Where do you shop? When do you shop? How do you decide what you need, how much to spend and what's "you"? These are some of the questions we're putting to prominent figures in our column "How I Shop.
These days, the jet-setter's day-to-day schedule and style are much simpler. While sheltering-in-place in Spain, Shaik posts throwbacks and TikTok-ubiquitous whipped coffee drinks while clad in comfortable T-shirts, sweats and leisure-wear. She's also giving into online shopping, since she traveled there a month ago with just a carry-on. She understands she's in a fortunate position to help support fashion retail with her purchases, and not everyone is.
"My style is inspired by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and that has developed over time. In my early 20s, I was always experimenting with my style. I didn't know myself at such a young age. Then, since I hit 27, I realized: 'This is my style. This is what makes me feel comfortable and confident.' "For me, in the summertime, I like to try and do a little more pattern and play with colors a bit more. I find it works well with my skin tone. In the summertime, I have this great tan. I want to incorporate pale blues, yellows, greens and pinks.
"I love Matchesfashion.com. That's probably my number one. Net-a-Porter, Browns, Mytheresa, The RealReal. Net-a-Porter is a great place to find those middle-margin priced or just cool pieces. I've been [in Spain] in quarantine, so I was looking for Calvin Klein sweats. I do go shopping at Urban Outfitters, but in-store. I find really great things on Revolve — really great little purses just for going out for the day or shoes, especially for the summertime.
