IIRC, Foo is not rich. He is NYC Middle Class™.

Mate if you took away the jeans and boots you'd look like my GF going to bed wearing my tshirt

Maybe if you weren’t cosplaying as Kramer from Seinfeld you wouldn’t look like a flaccid uncircumcised penis.

Sad but true.

"you're just not cool" and "nouveau riche" and random comments about being rich are not sincere nor useful critiques.

There does seem to be a very strong and persistent attachment to workwear here—which was last culturally relevant in the late 00s / early 10s. Today, in NYC, I only see it on 40-somethings (my age, to be fair), who don’t particularly care about style or fashion. They tend to be unwitting holdouts wearing what was normal for them 15-20 years ago.

I’m not saying it’s good or bad to keep up with fashion, but I do think it’s strange and dissonant to knock streetwear for being “so ten years ago” when one is wearing clothes that look “so twenty years ago.” Plus, the reality is that streetwear has inculcated fashion at all levels in a way that workwear never did. It didn’t go away—it just went everywhere.

How sincere is it to leave out context? You conveniently excluded the comment I was responding to.

Nobody here is knocking streetwear, just your big goofy shirt with the hedi/celine bottom half.
your fit prob would've been cool with your striped charvet going out shirt for the 2000s nightclub sleaze vibe. Maybe add a christian audigier sweater or the Chrome Hearts equivalent of that on top. I unironically think it whips ass and comes across more sincere than whatever your recent fit is

At this point, workwear and things like raw denim are anachronisms that exist outside the regular fashion cycles, in the way of subculture uniforms.

Things in fashion or slightly out of fashion are much more subject to the “out of touch” criticism. That said, I don’t see it as really out, just different from a few years ago.

Re. your specific outfit, trying to pair streetwear with a very specific designer look with sleazelord vibe jewelry is tough. I mean, it’s cool that you tried, but it’s in that part of fashion that has a much narrower window for success. I’m pretty sure I’d fail.
