so wore my rick owens dunks to a party yesterday and one of my friends said i looked like michael jackson and them offered to let me borrow his shoes. i got kinda pissed off at him tbh.

mind you he was wearing cargo shorts and a shitty fitting graphic tee (as he always does). It made me realize that as long as people around me don't really give a shit about what they wear, why would they be impressed by what someone else wears?

it seems like trying to look good around them is a lost cause. it doesn't matter if i have a 10/10 fit because everyone i know dresses like shit and it won't even matter to them. i'd probably get called a faggot

should i even bother?

You have a few choices.
Do you want to impress almost every person on the street? Just buy some nice plain clothes that fit and throw in some interesting clothes.
I dressed like a fucking basic bitch all year long last year and got 2nd place best dressed. It's easy to impress most people. However, it all depends on who you want to impress.

Honestly to look cool you have to wear notably cool brands that actually look cool.

Whenever I see people posting in WAYWTs I always think if I actually saw them in real life I'd have no idea they were trying to look fashionable.

I see what you're saying and I think OP should follow this advice (since he seems most concerned with this)

but you don't always need to do this. I dress differently from my friends and people around me and nobody says shit. Why do I need to do things the same way as everybody else?

Why can't you just wear what you want and make yourself happy instead of worrying about other people? We all have diff priorities and if wearing RO makes you feel happy and look good (to you , which is what matters) then who cares?

Well the thing is that niche stuff only looks good to a niche market, most times is quite the opposite what is appealing what is good to them, so looking bad might be cool to a group of 4 gay art collectors in NewYork, 3 savants an a couple bdsm entusiasts.

Also, looking good is a matter of general acceptance of what is good/cool at any given moment, so by that logic high street is all you need to be buying right now, not niche items.
