TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOU
My educational and style development have really gone hand-in-hand. As a queer trans non-binary individual, navigating educational spaces was difficult and so was finding clothes that fit and clothes that resonated with how I saw myself. But through activist work and finding LGBTQ+ community in academia, I've found how to embrace a queer identity. And through social media, personal research, trial-and-error, I've found my own dapper style and a community of folks who love embracing the diversity in fashion. As I am on the pursuit of my Juris Doctor degree, it is to represent LGBTQ+ folks in the legal profession and to fight for this beautiful community through legal advocacy and policy development.
So this is me--excitedly queering Instagram, style, law, and the future. Find me on Instagram at @airinyung
TELL US MORE ABOUT THE OUTFIT
This specific outfit is a completely me. I've got a bit of an odd "dad"-vibe, I love coordinating colors, and I collecting fun socks! The blue and green of the Inglis Kirrin Finch shirt quite perfectly matched my favorite pair of Otter socks, so I had to wear them together. The khaki's lightened up the otherwise dark black-blue-green outfit (customized the black cuffs for this look). Since I like less casual looks, the black vest and nicely textured sock tie were ideal additions, followed by the black belt, shoes and watch to match. The outfit in total is a little bit of neat, a little bit of quirky, and a whole lot of dapper. It's self-actualization and honest self expression.
WHERE WERE THE PHOTOS TAKEN?
I'm on the UC Berkeley Campus--visiting my undergraduate alma mater before I start a new adventure at Georgetown Law School. I figured some red-brick buildings would pose as a nice backdrop for photos, but these photos also mean more than meets the eye.
WHY DID YOU START BLOGGING?
I started my tumblr blog in 2011 and around late 2013/early 2014 it morphed into a a style and style advice blog particularly for trans/ nonbinary masculine folks who aren't white, tall, short-haired (ie not the mainstream androgynous person). It grew to have a significant following, so I decided to bring it to Instagram and I've been actively on Instagram since 2016.
