Wear with purpose

So, I will tell you my story about me for being called a hipster, I promise it’ll be short. We all know what hipster is, they are teenage-urban culture, they choose a whole new different lifestyle, clothes, and everything. In fact I couldn’t understand their mindset and of course I don’t want to know.

So a few days ago it was rain in my neighborhood, probably because I life in hill. So when raining seasons comes, it always heavy rain in my neighborhood, but dry and sunny in the downtown or my college. So lately I wore a hat to cover up my head, and no, I don’t have a hooded jacket to cover my head. So I borrowed a knit cap from my brother, it’s not an expensive or cool one, just an average greyish knit cap. I put my sweater and cap on, I got to admit, I pretty look cool though on it and I’m ready to go. As I thought, I knew that it’s only raining in my neighborhood and sunny in my college. And when I walk to my class, my friend shouted hipster to me. All I did just wear my old sweater and cap, don’t judge me. I try to explained to her, that I wore it because it was raining in my neighborhood, nothing else.

When the accident passed, It made me think that we wear stuff like sweater, pants, bandana, scarf, jacket, boots, etc, we wore it because we want to impress someone (or maybe everyone) or to show off our collections (I hate these people, like really hate it). But some reason we wear stuffs, because we want to look stylish or maybe it’s kind of trend and want to follow the right-now-fashion-trend (I also hate these kind of people).

Lets go to the backstage not in runway but all the way back in designer’s room. A place when designer thinking, designing, making pair of high leather boots or a jacket with asymmetrical cut and have too-many-pockets. They made it with purpose they knew what our problem in clothes that we always complained about. I mean like, jacket with too-many-pockets, it’s not just a jacket with so many pockets but each of the pockets have their own function and we have to smart to know every function of each pockets. Or a clutch, because we want to bring just a few of our stuff like cell phone, wallet, pen, small notebook, and some make up. If you put that few stuff in your bag, it will be heavy, not free to move, and any other reasons (that make senses for me).

So, back in my story I refuse to be called hipster or swag or any other term (in fact I feel shame of myself). Because I have a reason to put on my old sweater and knit cap, it was raining in my neighborhood. But if I wore it because it was right-now-trend or want to look stylish in the sparkling rain, or trying to hard for being different to stand out, then yeah you have my permission to shoot me in the face and swore the F-word to my face, because I deserved it. Happy day fellas ;)
