Adam Steenson
Mr Northern Ireland

How would you describe your style?
I would describe my style as simple but sleek.

What are your wardrobe staples
that you can’t live without?
I could not live without my personally fitted
Robinson’s Shoes. My look is quite casual
day-to-day and with a good pair of shoes
you can make a simple everyday outfit look
sophisticated. At more high end events, I
complete the look with a suit.

Do you have a favourite high street or
designer brand?
My favourite high street brand has got to be
Zara. I love how they update their range so
often and their simple styles can go a long
way!

Do you have any style icons?
When I’m dressing down socially I love to
keep my eye on reality TV stars, like Jack
Fowler, for fashion inspiration. When it
comes to dressing up, as I do so for events or
appearances as Mr Northern Ireland, I like to
look at David Beckham and his fashion sense
is smart wear.

Do you have a different wardrobe for your
work life and social life?
Being a student, a lot of my fashion sense is
casual for class and everyday life, but I always
finish my look with my smart shoes. Finding
the balance of relaxing wear but looking the
part as Mr Northern Ireland is something I
have really enjoyed.

How has your style changed over the
years?
It has definitely got better and some would
argue still has a bit to go, but I enjoy dressing
pretty simply with a plain t-shirt and a jacket
or shirt over it. I have realised over the years
how important a good pair of shoes are-
after my personal fitting at Robinson’s shoes
I realised it is possible to be wearing the
wrong size dress shoe and now that I have
my personalised pair wearing a smart shoe is
definitely more comfortable and makes me
look and feel way better.

What are your fashion pet peeves?
I really am not a fan of patterns on t-shirts,
as I say you can’t go wrong with a plain
t-shirt and a good shirt or jacket to
accompany it.
