English teacher Paul Dunlap

To demonstrate his passion for classical literature or simply the desire to look debonair, English teacher and Instructional Lead Paul Dunlap’s wardrobe displays a diverse combination of funky colors and unique patterns. From eccentric ties to quirky socks, Dunlap’s choices in fashion have been nothing if not eye-catching, colorful and immersive. Dunlap’s outfit planning begins the night before bed with a quick decision. “I’m not a morning person, so the night before I choose what I’m going to wear,” he said. “I just look if the pieces coordinate well. More recently, I’ve complicated things by adding in the matching sock feature.” Dunlap often uses colorful ties to accentuate the other colors of his clothing. “I always want there to be something interesting,” he said. “A tie is one of my favorite ways to do that. I’ll try to have a tie that picks up on the colors and tells a story.” Dunlap also believes there is more to just clothing than a simple visual pop. “I think that if you take an extra moment to put yourself together in a way that you feel confident, it’ll help you actually feel confident in the day,” he said. “It encourages you to match style with substance.”
