I recently got back from vacation in California, and I couldn't believe how well people dress there. I'm a student at a university in the midwest and let's just say people don't put as much time into their outfits. For guys who give any type of shit about what they look like, the most popular style is what I think of as the "trust fund look". Basically dress like a frat boy whenever you go out, pastel long sleeves, salmon-colored pants, Lululemon on top and a fuckload of Patagonia. Nothing against guys who dress like this, most of my friends do but I feel like the look is just cringeworthy to me. From there I'd say the next most popular look is usual skater look. five pannel hats, button-up short sleeves vans etc. I'd say 5% of my college campus truly embodies the streetwear look (not just talking about hype brands but the style) and of that 5%, it's almost all the Asian kids who squad up together.I love fashion and I love streetwear, and because of my current job I am able to afford more expensive brands of streetwear and designer clothes. It is very frustrating for me that when I dress nicely around here I am looked at as a "tryhard" by the people I associate with. (This weekend I wore a pair of distressed dsquared2 Jeans and was called such by more than a few people)Now I really couldn't give a shit about other people's opinion on my outfits but it makes me wonder if there is a better way for me to pull of nicer branded clothing in a way that doesn't make me stick out so much here. Looking for advice on this, or maybe an inspo album, I appreciate it! via /r/streetwear http://ift.tt/2GDotWN
