Celebrity Interview: Ryan Lochte

By Stephanie Prommer, About.com

OK, swimmer Ryan Lochte isn't technically a teen, but the twenty-four-year-old powerhouse is an Olympic gold medalist, and a severely stylish guy! Here's what Ryan had to say to me about his fashion sense - including what he wears on a first date:

How Would You Describe Your Personal Style?

Ryan: Whatever looks good and is comfortable. I like rock star, hip hop and surfer attire all rolled into one.

How Has Winning Olympic Gold Changed Your Style - If At All?

Ryan: Getting a gold didn't change my fashion style; I've always been into fashion.

What are Your Favorite Brands to Wear?

I like Armani, Gucci, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Ed Hardy, Monarchy, Tommy Hilfiger, and many others.

Do You Plan on Becoming a Model or Having Endorsement Deals?

Ryan: I would love to get a clothing endorsement or ad campaign. I actually just signed with Ford Models.

What's Your No-Fail Outfit for a First Date?

Ryan: Depends on the restaurant, but usually a nice pair of jeans with a button-down shirt rolled up with Creative Recreation shoes, with some bling.

What Kind of Clothing Do You Like to See on a Girl?

Ryan: A hot cocktail dress or a nice pair of jeans with a fitted tee. A classy but sexy look always catches my eye.

Do You Have Advice for Other Guys on How to Have Good Style?

Ryan: Have your own style, be yourself and tie it in with your personality.
