Come to think of it.. where is his arm?? I mean, it might be bent at the elbow and is entirely obscured by his ugly sleeve, but at that angle it means he's nearly groping Chinstrap's butt.

With tiny asians if they are ugly you always have the option to flip them over and pretend they are little boys. That one however somehow makes my butt-rash radar go nuts so I'd keep clear.

I just picked a place that seemed sufficiently douchey; I apologize for it not being the right kind of douchey. And I never "complained about being behind the trend"--are you just making up the conversations you want to hear in your head? I actually mocked you for being so stupid and tasteless that you dress like a cuntwaffle because some gay guys in New York told you to.
Look, part of the purpose of clothing is to fit into a culture. That's why we even HAVE clothing, instead of everyone just wearing the bare minimum in burlap sacks necessary to keep us warm. Culture, especially "youth culture" is fluid, and changing swiftly over time as old ideas are thrown out and new ones come in. Maybe a new movie comes out and people really like the look so they start dressing that way. Or a popular celebrity tries something different and other people try it out. Or a new musical genre becomes trendy and clothing that fits the genre becomes trendy as well. Shit changes constantly. By changing the way you dress to accommodate the different changes in current culture, you signify that you care about and pay attention to that culture. It shows that you fit in, in much the same way as talking about the latest tv show, movie, or sports game around the office watercooler.And yes, fitting in is important. Or at least knowing HOW to fit in, even if you choose not to.
And nobody is forcing anyone to dress like a "cuntwaffle." There's plenty of room to fit in while still wearing shit that looks good. For example, I have a pair of perfectly good plaid western shirts. However, unlike the poorly executing fella in the pic, my shirts are two colors only, and feature a lot of white. So they end up being symmetric and pleasing to the eye instead of clashing badly. The best part? I didn't buy them because I thought the style would be in. I got them because I lived in West Texas and that's what everyone else wears out there. Can't exactly go to the rodeo in a polo shirt and boat shoes. All that having them come in style meant is that I could wear them to the bars in Austin as well.

Meh,
while Forever 21 is ridiculously cheap, it takes too much effort to
find anything decent. My sister shops there cause she's like 5'2" and 110lbs, so it's easy for her to get clothes there, but I couldn't stand having to wade through the 90% of the store
that's just leopard print leggings and other hideous fashion
monstrosities. Besides, the guys section is ridiculously small. I did get a decent jacket from there years ago, though. Ironically, I was 21 at the time.

That's not important. Wear the goddamn polo, if you like it.
Buy what you like. Wear what you think is both comfortable and doesn't make you look like a slob. That's the only requirement. Don't look like a slob. For the most part, this means buying things that fit. And you're done.
You, however, go on about styles and fashion as if these things have value. They don't. They cost $0. Nobody worth talking to gives a shit about the fashionability of your plaid shirt. "OMG YOUR SHIRT IS ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THIS MAGAZINE. YOU'RE HIRED." Riiight.
I repeat: buy what you like. If you like a coloured shirt, buy it. If you like a plain shirt with some subtle striping, buy it. But buy it because you like it, not because of some pretend measure of worth that is imposed by others. There is no authority here. They can't tell you what to wear. There's no such thing. It's a fantasy; a projection.
Buy. What. You. Like.

Burlap sacks would be very uncomfortable and impractical. Comfortable clothes, that don't look shitty (like every single thing you've shown any interest in) are fine. The sooner you grow up and realize what an idiot you've been, the better off we'll all be.

Actually, it's extremely valuable information. If someone starts talking about fashion I realize he's a pathetic moron, desperately trying to "fit in" and compensate for some crippling emotional problem.

Unless what you like is pink shirts and cowboy boots. Or what that guy on the right is wearing. Because there's "wearing what you like" and then there's "Oh shit, I'm blind!"

Seriously though, you have to admit that, while you can certainly buy what you like, if you're actually going to wear it, you must always consider the context-dependent range of styles that are considered acceptable. Even if only because people will act like jerks if you push the limits too far.

That's not my claim at all. I'm not saying people have to wear what's in style. I'm saying that it's not a bad thing to care about what's in style. Because if you care about fitting in, then you'll want to wear the clothing that's appropriate to a specific situation and group of people, and that's what style is for people in their twenties. Even if you don't like the style, it's still generally a good idea to know what it is. You aren't a bad person if you don't keep up with current fashions, but you aren't a douche for doing so either.
My secondary claim is that style doesn't have to look terrible. The shirt in the middle isn't bad because of "fashion" it's bad because it has the wrong colors.

Shops by and large only carry what's "in style" anyway, so I'm somewhat fashionable whether I like it or not.

No offense, but that's not even close to true. Some shops don't care about style at all. These would be places like Walmart, Target, K-Mart etc. Some shops do care, but carry the wrong style. This can be anything from a punk/goth place like Hot Topic, to an old-fart store like Dillards, or a heavily East Coast/European place like Armani Exchange. Some shops care, and have the right style but are often just a few months out of step. These are places like Old Navy and The Gap. And hell, even the places that are mostly in style still get it wrong sometimes, or specific clothes might have a poor cut. Or stuff that's in style seperately might not work when put together in the same outfit.

There's no such thing as the wrong style. It doesn't exist.

That can happen, obviously. Tailoring is a craft that can be fucked up or done in odd ways like any other.

Well, that's for you to decide on the spot when your are buying the items. Do they fit? Do you like them? Do they go well together? Not too expensive? Not too cheaply contructed? There is no Council of Elders that mandates this. It's just you and your sensibilities.
Think for your goddamn self, man. I've got more and more respect for the guys in the JPEG-artifact and the optical-illusion shirts! At least they were man enough to pick their own stuff.

Yes, it does.If you are a young professional who wants to look like the other young professionals, wearing a Tapout shirt at the bar is the wrong goddamn style. If you want to look like a semi-pro MMA fighter, or you ARE a semi-pro MMA fighter, then the Tapout/Ed Hardy combo works great for you, and wearing an OCBD or a sweatervest would be the wrong style. It's not the wrong style because of something intrinsic to the material, it's the wrong style because nobody else around is wearing it, so you stick out as someone who doesn't really belong there. It's as inappropriate as wearing a powdered wig from the 18th century today or putting on a suit to play basketball.

Yes, it does.No, it doesn't in the way that your examples are implying. To you the "wrong style" is something that doesn't fit in with everything else in whatever specific section of society, but you are ignoring the point that not blending in can be the reason for going with a specific style. Playing with people's perceptions can be fun.

Those are both bad examples, because they're both inherently impractical. Instead, you're the douchebag in the 18th century who was like "Why aren't you wearing a powdered wig? Powdered wigs show your status and are the right thing to wear." And those people all ended up tarred and feathered and shot in the face.

I don't give two shits for any "section of society" that cares what I'm wearing. Sure, if I show up in a bathrobe, that's probably pushing it, but otherwise they can kiss my big black ass.
And that also includes dressing counter to what they expect--you're still just playing the same silly game, still following their bullshit, completely fabricated rules, just inverted. I'll dress however the fuck I like, and if somebody has a problem with it, I'll shove their face into a belt sander.
