In this week’s Stylish Scouts, senior Sofia Zaramella stands out with her unique mix of timeless, and modern, pieces. Always ahead of the trends, let’s take a closer look at her style.

What’s one item in your closet that you absolutely can’t live without?

“A loose fitted cardigan or a tank top. I love everything simple and it’s easy to style those things with anything. I love any cute staple piece that can go with everything in your closet. I prefer to mix my clothes up because then you don’t need to buy so many clothes and you can style each thing differently. This is what I normally do and, for me, it’s impactful.”

What’s your go-to pair of shoes?

“I love basic things. When I can’t find anything that goes well with my outfits, I resort to either flip-flops, slides or my Adidas sneakers. Whenever I have a simple color toned outfit, I love to brighten it up with my sambas since they are super colorful and add a pop to what I wear. They are also super comfy and I love the shape of them.” 

Who influences your sense of style the most?

“Either my older sister, Margherita, or influencers that I see online. My older sister is very fashionable and I love to take advice from her. She grew her style when she went off to college and it really influenced me during my highschool years. I’ve evolved into my own person, but I still love to steal some of her things and always ask her for advice. She’s impacted me without even realizing it but, if anyone were to compliment me on what I wear, the chances of it being her clothes are pretty high.”

What’s your all-time favorite outfit that you’ve worn?

“Definitely one of my church outfits. I love the skirt, the top and everything about it. It’s so modest and I love that I can wear something clean that matches well. I do like to add a pair of Golden Gooses that changed up the color palette a bit. Overall, I just love the color scheme, and the shirt is knitted which makes it super comfy.”

What’s your favorite color to wear and why?

“I love every color that is dark. I am obsessed with black, blue, brown, gray– basically anything that isn’t bright. I just figured out tones and shades that went well with my skin tone and I found a vibe that I fell in love with, making it match my personality.”

Do you have a signature accessory that completes your outfits?

“Probably jewelry and my hair. I’m random with my outfits but I like to tie everything together with my hair or accessories. Again, I like to keep things minimal so I might not wear jewelry, or I might style my hair in different ways, depending on what I’m wearing. Another thing I love to add to my outfits– mainly in the summer or on vacation– is a cute knitted hat because it adds some dimension.” 

Sofia has a talent for combining casual and chic outfits. Her style always turns heads and inspires those around her. Be sure to take a look at her latest looks the next time you see her in the hall.
