Why does everyone wear the same thing?

I see several coworkers wearing brand new vans.
I don't get it. And they are the exact same.
Its very noticeable, everybody searing the same shoe. I say this because I've seen 4 people buy them within the last week or so.

I won't be wearing the same shoes i wore in HS
Not my style.

On another note, i took a sewing class and have learned how to use my machine.
I can't stand the cookie-cutter, generic, trendy junk.

For those who want to argue about anything I've posted, you can argue with yourself

🤔 I completely agree.

I was much too poor in high school to afford new vans 🤣

I’ve met very interesting people who wear whatever. I’ve met very boring people who go out of their way to dress non-conventionally.

I think… in the end whether someone is multidimensional or not depends on the complexity of who they are and how they live, not so much the costume.

Vans are pretty basic unless you get the ones with crazy patterns/colors. They go with everything, easy to get on and off in a rush, versatile and easy to clean. Also easy to replace because you can just go buy the same exact pair you had before when the old ones wear out

@BigAssLeech yea, very basic with that "I'm in high school look". I wore them in HS and thats where i leave them 😬

I think a lot of it comes down to convenience. I admire people who spend time creating a unique look because I find fashion and shopping overwhelming a lot of the time. Basic can also mean versatile and cost-effective since you can wear the same thing in many different situations.

@toomuchlove for sure. You can dress up or dress down a white tee or simple black dress for example. I'm okay with basic
I don't wear the same thing. On occasion I don't even wear shoes from the same pair.
@iamnikki Yes. Not on purpose, you understand.

@Mamapolo2016 oh, I was like wow lol
@iamnikki I'm pretty sure my life assignment is to make people laugh - with me or at me.

Idk vans are too flat unless you board

Vans remind me a little of the brand we all wore in middle and high school called Keds. They were plain white canvas tennis shoes. They were also cheap. Talk about basic!

Was there an employee memo about types of shoes you have to wear?
iamnikki · 31-35, F
@Viper no. I just find it funny that someone gets a kiddie-looking shoe, then 4 more people go and buy the same shoe.
sheeple look at the rest of the flock and want to conform

I don't own a pair, so there's that. 🙃
