While walking around campus today I saw: mainline sock ramones, SupremexUC coaches jacket, about ten or so off-white logos, pair of milk geobaskets, four-striped sweatpants that I'm assuming is TB, Rick springblades. That's only the stuff I recognized. Meanwhile I thought my beat up white achilles were too ostentatious for a classroom setting. Either the people (fellow asians) around me are way more into fashion than I realized, or there are way more asians on campus than I realized.
I don't know how many can attest but, I always feel awkward wearing anything remotely fashionable to class. I recognize this is heavily major, school, and location dependent. But in my non-humanities classes, pretty much everyone wears either sweatpants, full workout gear, "basic ameriwhite who loves starbucks" clothes (quoting Fuuma), or some MFA level denim/desert boots fit. I imagine this wouldn't be a problem if I lived in a real city. But dressing differently is often off-putting, which I don't want, or don't want to appear as at least. I know this is some weak shit but I can't help but be shaped by how those around me dress. It's also a reason I like Schneider cuz it's normal but chill. So partly due to the above, I've the goal of moving into a city asap cuz I can't imagine dealing with this for the next however many years, whereas whenever I visit New York from the lowly countryside and walk around the jawnz shops, no one gives a shit about what I wear.
