Writer & Activist Alexis’s Fave Fit: The Super High-Waisted Flare

About me: “I’m an integrated digital media and computer science student at NYU. As a young black-Latina woman in STEM, my content is a celebration of what ‘breaking the mold’ looks like.”

Why I love this fit: “The jeans here are really the statement piece… I’m a big fan of flare cut jeans! I feel like they can pull any look together. I also really love how the lettering on my top matches the green accent on my shoes. I’m obsessed with those little details!”

I love jean jackets because: “It can instantly elevate any outfit no matter what you have on underneath.”

People would be surprised to learn: “I think people would be surprised to learn that I love the arts just as much as STEM. While I spend a good amount of time programming on my computer, I spend just as much playing my piano, singing, drawing, or doing something else that’s creative.”

My biggest inspiration: “My biggest career inspirations have always been Elaine Welteroth and Karlie Kloss. I one day want to embody the same drive and determination for social justice as Elaine mixed with the same passion for STEM and women’s rights as Karlie.”
