I simply do not have the cash or inclination to spend THAT much money on my casual wear. I own a few suits and shirts for interviews and work.. but dammit, how can you be accused of dressing sloppy going to class?!!!!
As an asian student who dresses on a budget, I know how it feel. They look down on me because I wear worn jeans and a generic top along with some skateboarding shoes I found being cleared out at the local sports shop. I believe in function, if my clothes are nice and comfy and fit well while looking half decent it's good. The picture below shows how I look on a typical day. I prefer to spend my cash on other things, such as the $2500 bike you see in that picture.
On the other hand I have way better glasses than they do, I've had Polo's, Gucci's, and I'm wearing Armani glasses right now, all with the best Nikon lenses money can buy. Of course my glasses are fully covered under insurance so they're effectively free, otherwise I would not have $400-$500 glasses.
As for shoes, 4 pairs: dress shoes, school shoes, work shoes, and SPD biking shoes.
i second that jealousy ;_;
