Style file: Enrique Rivera calls his style a New York-influenced 'urban bold'
Enrique Rivera, 24
Hometown: New York City
Spotted at: Club Barcelona
What he's wearing: Armani Exchange Blazer, Express tie, Express producer pants, Calvin Klein tailored shirt and Alfani Shoes
Enrique Rivera believes that a man should put his best foot forward - literally - when creating an outfit. An outfit, he says, begins with the shoes. He suggests buying items of clothing where colors meet and complement the shoes.
He was seen at Club Barcelona on Saturday for the Snow Party hosted by "Jersey Shore" cast member Vinny Guadagnino. Rivera talked about his fashion philosophy while enjoying the bass-pumping music.
"I would say my style is urban, bold and pushes the limits without worrying about matching," Rivera said.
He cites rapper Kanye West as one of his style influences.
"His style is so different, and it's actually odd, but at the end of the day it works," he said. "I also admire Ralph Lauren."
Rivera, a native of the Big Apple, has noticed a slight difference in the style scene in Fayetteville, compared to his home city.
"Trends seem to arrive at the South a little later than they do up North," he said. "I would also like to see the baggy clothes go away. I don't think baggy clothes and shirts should be seen in public.
