A Pennsylvania native, Chase uses an athletic duffle bag that happens to have his favorite color as an accent. These sandals are Chase's favorite accessory. Here he shows the only way to pull off socks and sandals -- with long Nike socks and slip-on shoes. This style of footwear is reminiscent of 1990s menswear in hip-hop culture.Style analysis: Although Chase does not cite many style inspirations, they are revealed subtly through his street fashion. We spotted him listening to his iPod and the rock-and-roll blues of Roy Buchanan. Along with his Jimi Hendrix graphic tee and hip-hop shoe display, it shows how critical music is to Chase's style. The glasses and button-up beneath the graphic tee show his editor side.
Don't be afraid to combine your musical inspirations with your fashion sense, Denver.
