Heartbreak High’s Josh Heuston on his androgynous approach to style

What’s your fragrance of choice? I wear Le Labo fragrances. I mix them up but “Thé Noir 29” is a favourite.

Any go-to jewellery? My rings. I wear four or five at once, mixing gold, silver and different gemstones. A few of them are by Sydney jewellery designer Laura Miers. I also have a chunky Cuban necklace of hers, silver with big blue gemstones, that I love.

Can you remember a favourite outfit from when you were a child? At age nine it was a pair of three-quarter length cream cargo shorts. I refused to take them off and wore them until they couldn’t be repaired any more and I grew out of them.

What was your first fashion moment? My Jonas Brothers look. I was obsessed with spray-on black skinny jeans with an oversized white T-shirt and black Vans. I thought I was the coolest 12-year-old ever.

And your worst fashion mistake? I remember I once wore spotted fluoro boardies and a striped muscle singlet to high school. It wasn’t good.

What’s at the top of your wish list? I’m eyeing the TAG Heuer “Monaco” watch; I love the square face and the leather strap.

Is there anything you would never wear? It’s an unpopular opinion but I don’t like Crocs.

Is there a current trend you like? Tight-cropped boxy tees with oversized parachute or suit pants. I’m also loving the workwear trend, all the Carhartt stuff. I like the composition of it.

What shoes do you wear the most? Black chunky Burberry “Arthur” sneakers. They look cool with an oversized pant.

What do you sleep in? Just boxers.

Do you have a favourite fashion icon? No one specific. I take bits and pieces from everywhere – people on the street, people who work in fashion, Instagram. Also, movies influence me a lot; I love The Place Beyond the Pines, I think that’s where I got my boot obsession from.

What do you wear on a typical working day? Blue Calvin Klein jeans, a cropped tee and black loafers.

What’s your favourite off-duty, casual Sunday look? Nothing crazy: jeans, a cropped hoodie and sneakers.
