Stranger's Reactions to your Clothes?

[Shucks]

"Ride" an UFO? Being a spaceship I feel one would pilot it.

unless someone/something else is piloting it, in which case u would only be along for the ride. or should that be 'flight'...?

[Resonkuken]

"Take me for a ride on your UFO!!"... yep, that sounds alright.

I've generally seen that for the most part, no one really gets any "offensive" comments on their outfits, even those among us who tend to reach for the outer limits (RO/CDG runway looks). I used to live in areas devoid of any non streetwear fashion and I always get the classic lines like vampire hunter, etc. if I were to go back to those areas. Otherwise, I can walk around pretty much anywhere in peace. Most recently someone told me that I looked like I was in the Matrix and a bouncer at a bar asked me why I was wearing a girl hat (was wearing number nine preacher hat)

I still haven´t worn my bbs perforated tee out, but I gotta feeling it´s gonna get some looks and whispers from people. I kinda want to wear it to work, layered under another bbs tee since you´re pretty much showing skin if you don´t.

i wouldnt test it out at work. you have to work with those people day in day out. whenever i get a new piece thats a bit striking i just wear it around the city. the best way to break something in is just dont give a fuck what people think. so put yourself in an environment that is conducive to that. i fortunately live in NYC so it's rather easy to wear whatever you want here because while you may see my nipples through my tank top there's more than likely a homeless man shitting in a paper bag 5 feet away from me.

^i walked past a guy with red glitter covered shoes, white pants and a red glitter covered top hat today on campus, he was on way to a class. and nobody cared. so not sure how well that works, i think almost all people on the street just flat out couldn't care less

[DudleyGray]

I don't think it's that nobody cares as much as it is a sort of detachment from people you don't know that is required of being in a big city. If that man ran into people he knew who weren't accustomed to seeing him like that, then I'm sure the reaction would be very different. Or maybe not, honne/tatamae can go a long way.

While visiting a friend in Boston two days ago we stop on campus to use the restroom. Unfortunately we can't go through because the faculty is closed or something of the sort. My friend explains he's a student there and kindly asks if we can go through quickly. Security guard asks us with a concerned look "Are you performing?". Friend quickly responds "Yes".
He grimaces briefly, looks around him and says "Ok but be quick"

A few moments later a lady stops us (there was like 3/4 of us in typical attire). She can't believe what we're wearing.(was typical rick/YY/ccp/julius). She was really shocked by my pants and seriously looks at me and says "But those are your sister's right??? ".(wide leg YY cropped pants).

Keep in mind one of my friends knew her and she probably would've gone on her merry way without making any comments if that weren't the case. Still an awkward and weird experience nevertheless.

I live in a small town in southern AZ and this entire state is devoid of any sz style to my knowledge (scottsdale maybe, but even then its a stretch). The only negative comments I ever get are on anything drop crotch. Ive heard all of the classics "it looks like you are wearing a diaper!" To " It looks like your legs are tiny" ect (whenever I wear RO sweats/pods, mind you properly styled with overlong tees ect) but other than that I have only recieved compliments on more tame piece like my all black leather ramones and waxed RO pants. If there is anyone else out here in this desert wasteland let me know

The odd comment I do get on my drop crotch sweats are people thinking I'm just wearing them around my ankles. I did get a "that looks comfortable" two days ago which was nice because they really are comfy as fuck.

[thinbuddha]

i honestly don't understand the diaper comments. no, it doesn't look like i'm wearing a diaper, but there's certainly room there for when i'm older.

[Zukki]

Never got ANY comments on my Julius hoodies.

A security guy at the Mainstation almost tripped into a young lady though as he was complementing me on my Stone Island jacket.

as a father of two, I totally get the diaper comment.

you don't understand the diaper comments until you see someone else wearing diapers, excuse me I meant drop crotch

Was walking with mr.beuys in TriBeCa yesterday. A young woman passed us by and said, somewhat admiringly, "You look like two super hero movie villains."
