Does it look differentiating? It’s important to me that the clothing I wear shows I’m different - creative or otherwise interesting - and helps me stand out just a bit. My look should never be so radical that it’s impractical, gaudy or flashy. I should be able to blend into a metropolitan street and look subtle in some way, but also relaxed and comfortable.
This is all to say - the clothes should be interesting and worth caring for, but the clothes that I choose to wear shouldn’t be my differentiating factor; I don’t have the body to win that battle, and even if I did I wouldn’t want the spotlight to be on me. It’s too hard to learn about and appreciate your world when the world starts to center you - so it never should.
