Chicago street style: Andrew Goetten

We’re getting the vibe that you have an extensive shoe collection.
It’s not too bad, but I have the essentials: black dress shoes, some sneakers and some nice suede brown boots.

Did you match your shirt with your laces and shoes on purpose?
This kind of just happened today. I get a lot of compliments on these purple laces.

How do you define your style?
I like how it’s more of a personality thing for people now. It’s not so much about people trying to impress others. I remember when I was in high school, it was all about Abercrombie & Fitch and looking a certain way. Now, it’s like people dress how they want to dress. There isn’t a formula for how you should look.
