Name: Truman Cassady
Age: 20
Relationship status: Single
Hometown: Overland Park
Time in Lawrence: Two years
Occupation: I’m a student currently.
Dream job: Aerospace engineer.
Describe your style: I’ve thought about this, actually. I would say more of a Nikola Tesla-era, 19th century aesthetic. This is all from Goodwill. I just take what I find and throw it together.
Fashion trends you love: Suspenders. Definitely suspenders. And suit vests. I will try to wear a suit vest every time I go out. And bow ties. Bow ties are cool.
Fashion trends you hate: Culottes, and Sperrys.
Fashion influences: I don’t really find inspiration in specific idols or figures. I suppose I base it off some TV shows — “Peaky Blinders,” for example. And Sherlock Holmes — the traditional Sherlock Holmes.
Favorite thing about Lawrence: The lake. Sunrise on Clinton Lake.
Least favorite thing about Lawrence: Frat boys on mopeds. I mean, they can do whatever, but it’s just funny to me.
Whom do people say you look like? I actually got Einstein a few weeks ago. I don’t agree with that. I guess they weren’t accustomed to seeing someone wearing a tie and suit vest to an informal party.
Tell us a secret: This isn’t much of a secret, but my best friend is my chiropractor.
