Re: Clothes you don't "get."
wire.artist, I definitely see where you're coming from with the whole "movement" of oversized clothing. While it's not my cup of tea, I did remember that I've looked up some pictures of buckwheat and he's always looked great in his clothes.
As for the streetwear, I myself am a huge fan of both visvim and supreme. I think the appeal in Supreme for me is the entire limited/extremely current feel of fashion I get from those brands. When I purchase items from Rick and Cloak, I try to buy the pieces that will be timeless and wearable many years from now. Whenever I see a new piece of Supreme gear, I'm more interested in getting it because this is what's happening right now in street culture. I look at some of my older hoodies, shirts, or box caps, and I am always reminded of what happened during that era, regardless if it was 1 season ago or 6 seasons ago.
I like streetwear because it's almost like an adult version of collecting cereal box toys. Except wearable, with cool collaborations and a heftier price tag.
