Fashion writer shares her headphone style

As a freelance fashion writer and DJ, dressing for work is no longer about wearing a corporate uniform, but about expressing myself as an artist through my clothing.
With the freedom to wear what I want, I prioritize comfort and self-expression, often feeling more productive and creative when I like my outfit. I typically start my week by setting up to work in a cafe, where I keep my outfit casual.
My outfit usually consists of a matching sweat set or baggy jeans and a long sleeve. On this particular day, I’m wearing baggy pinstripe pants, a Neuw Denim cotton shirt, and a thrifted coat over the top.
Styling My Headphones
My favorite accessory is a pair of headphones, either in-ear or soundproof over-the-head styles, with crisp and clear audio being my top priority. I look for audio accessories that complement my outfits, and my JBL headphones are a staple in my daily looks.
I like to look good while discovering new music or prepping for a set. A skirt or jeans, a cute baby tee, and my everyday sling bag from Apres Studio, paired with my matching JBL LIVE 780 NC headphones, make me feel put together.
Performing and Self-Expression
When performing, it’s essential for me to feel unrestricted and accurately represented in my outfit. I prioritize pieces that allow me to dance and sweat, often opting for local, independent brands like Kid Condo and Mujo Made.
My JBL headphones are always close by, keeping me plugged into my playlist prep on the way to the gig. They are a key part of my performance gear.
On my days off, I prioritize comfort and activity, reaching for my Salomon sneakers, a loosely fitted dress, or my classic Lululemon flares with a T-Shirt and light spray jacket.

When in transit, I prefer wearing my JBL Soundgear Clips because they’re super light and virtually undetectable.
Here, I’m listening to ambient tunes in my peak airport outfit: a cosy tracksuit set, stretchy headband, and comfortable earbuds. This outfit is perfect for traveling.

By incorporating them into my outfits, I can ensure that I’m always ready to take on the day, whether that’s a gig, a meeting, or just a casual day out. My style is constantly evolving, and I’m excited to see how it will continue to develop.
