Jordan Chiles recently shared her thoughts regarding her fashion knowledge. In an interview, Chiles remarked that she learned that she has a great sense of fashion after her teammates started texting her regarding their fashion confusion.

She also mentioned that she loves to express herself through her fashion and always makes sure that the individuals around her look presentable. She said (via People.com):

"Once I started figuring out... I would get texts being like, 'Hey, I don't know what to wear with this,' then I started to realize. I love fashion. I love being able to show my personality in many different forms and knowing that I could help my teammates out at times. I'm going to be honest with you and not let you walk out with two different socks on. I'm going to always make sure they look nice, they look presentable in ways that they feel comfortable."

During the conversation, Jordan Chiles also mentioned that her national teammate, Simone Biles still takes her suggestions and asks her while in doubt regarding fashion.
