STYLE GURU BIO: Jackie Staiano

Hello! My name is Jackie, but my friends call me Jax. I am a junior at Manhattan College, New York. Even though I am majoring in psychology, fashion is still a huge passion of mine. I knew I needed to stay with this passion when I made denim shorts and denim chokers out of my jeans that I unfortunately ripped and how fast I can style an outfit for myself or my friends. I love to be different and I always love to show my true self by what I wear. I like to wear what makes me happy and confident, while not worrying about what other people think. To further express my individuality, I created an Instagram based on my aspiration for styling and to try to influence others to create their own path. Another important message I want to get across on this Instagram is positivity towards the ones doing the same thing and to get others out of their comfort zone to let their creativity shine through!

I was born in Los Angeles, California, but my whole family is from Italy (therefore, I have a mixture of the festival, boho/indie, tropical, vibes from LA and the “not so casual” vibes from Italy) and I definitely incorporate these styles in my own day to day looks.

In this look, I am wearing a bomber jacket, a sky blue top, jeans, and over the knee black suede boots, while my hair is in my favorite go-to half bun, half down look.

I am so excited to share this new journey with you all!
