We (the collective beings at Buckle) know the absolute magic of stretch denim, but getting the chance to meet guests who professionally require a high performance jean?
We’re capital I capital N (IN), when it comes to conversing about fall’s most essential closet staple.
Meet guest and friend, Nathan. A Chicago dancer and Kansas City native who needs a comfort denim in his busy, city line-up as much as he needs a 7/11 taquito.
(psst… we’re not so low-key obsessed with his killer moves.)
Meet Nathan
Tell us about yourself.
My name is Nathan. I live here in Chicago with two of my best friends and I am currently dancing with Giordano Dance Chicago.
Describe your style in three words.
My style is clean, classic, and comfortable.
You’re a dancer. How does your love for dance and fashion come together? Are there any parallels here?
My passion for dance helps me be bold in my fashion choices. The confidence I have developed through years of performing helps me feel comfortable wearing looks that show off my unique body and personality.
Finish this sentence. You need jeans that are…
I need jeans that move as well as my legs do!
What are some of your favorite fashion-musts to keep up with your on-the-go lifestyle?
When I’m on the go I always make sure I have a versatile and comfortable pair of jeans that I can dress up if I need to, or just wear casually running to and from the studio.
Other Personal Hobbies:
I love swimming. Whether I’m at the beach or in the pool I always feel at home in the water.
Name your spirit animal.
I am for sure spiritually connected to all the golden retrievers in the world. I know this for a fact.
It’s the weekend. Where can we find you?
I like to spend my weekends at the pool where I teach swim lessons.
Chicago favorites. Name the best spots to hang out.
A day in Chicago is never complete without a trip to 7/11. They’re everywhere and they all carry the same products so I always know I can find the perfect taquito or slurpee, or both. Usually both.
