Kanye made how he likes to dress the norm
Most regular people can’t do that
Cause not everyone has great taste/vision yet alone their own unique style
I dress in whatever I like all under $100 dollars lmao and I’ll still get p****
That fashion s*** is for high school kids that get no b****es with a fresh fit
This is such a dumb premise in the first place because where do you place the folks who do DIY/design/go to fashion school/look at runway s*** and beyond
Fashion is an art form like many other forms of media and outlets of creativity. You can go out in just a button down and slacks and desert boots everyday of your life (totally fine) but the ones invested in the art are clearly trying to get something further out of it
Yes you've got people who are clearly dressed by the internet and are trying to seek validation from people online but you can see this in literally every art form. Fashion is just the most blatant because clothing is ubiquitous. Those who use clothing as a form of self expression and to instill confidence in themselves is far more common than you think
But even self-expression is for others in that it's you trying to portray an image of how you want to be perceived by others, even if it's not just positive validation

Of course, never denied that. Perception is inherent to clothing and is something that is traditionally defined by your community and society (though this isn't nearly the case anymore in a globalized world, it still exists in some form). What you wear is a two-way street in terms of interaction between you and the people around you.
But in specifically the artistic part of it, many express themselves by the clothes they wear. And this form is not necessarily seeking validation. In an aesthetic sense, it really is where your opinion shines and you can point at something and say "I like that." What we determine of what's an individual thinking for themselves and what their thoughts is influenced by their environment is hard to pinpoint, but that "image" they're trying to project on others is still their image.
The Impressionists didn't throw away their paintings because society didn't like them, and they didn't paint what they did primarily to impress other Impressionists-- they were a likeminded community that enjoyed the aesthetic of what they were creating, even if they were influenced by that community. If you're picking up what I'm putting down.

Highschool niggas can’t afford it
Cause not everyone has great taste/vision yet alone their own unique style
9th GRADE I HAD THE VISION
Highschool niggas can’t afford it
It’s an example of how fashion mofos look
In what way? It’s no different from another man coming up to you in the gym and saying he tryna get like you
No different from another man seeing your car and knowing the year and model and saying it’s a gem
No different from a woman complimenting another woman on her makeup
You don’t understand that compliments mean more when they come from somebody as invested as you are?
Just say you don’t fw fashion and keep it moving
Oh trust me I fw it but it sounds like you’re just letting it become your personality
Also you just let me know how lame you are lmao you clearly not f***ing with the right girls my boy there’s definitely attractive girls out there into archive fashion and s*** just as much as us but clearly you’re more interested in finding more men to complement you on your outfit
Other men and themselves and there isn't anything wrong with that tbh
There's more to fashion than dressing up for other ppl
But isn't fashion dressing to express yourself and look good? It's inherently based to show off lol
They'll never admit it but yeah most do.
dress for who Bow
yall outta ur minds if u think the fairer s***are into this kind of outfits
If you have confidence and the sexiness to pull it off, yes it can
Not themselves that's who
mhmm
