I think my "dad style" is probably heavily Chicano-inspired

Well I AM Chicano so idk if "inspired" is the right word since it's just my heritage 🤷 but like yesterday someone made a joke when they passed me & said "oh shit, a real life cholo!" 😅
Even last week someone asked me if I was a cholo for Halloween 🤣 I was like "nah I'm not wearing a costume" & they were like "oh sorryyy" 😅 so that was hilarious.
The other day I was even wearing a bucket hat (like I've been doing for years) & someone told me I look like the lowrider logo 🤣 which if you don't know, is this
Lowriders were my first love as a kid. My dad saved all his Lowrider magazines from the 90's so I grew up on those. I don't try to look like a lowrider logo or like a cholo but I can kinda see how I might've developed the style as my roots.

I kinda think my "dad style" started setting in when I had Naya because I got more simplified. I didn't see a reason to spend money on streetwear or "cool" brands as much anymore. I still sometimes buy something pricey but I honestly like subtle & clean a lot more than brands or flashiness nowadays. I feel kinda weird now if I dress like me from just years ago 😅 makes me feel like I'm in my early 20's... & I was an idiot in my early 20's 😂 I might still be one now for all I know. But now I mainly like simple shirts, flannels, classic shoes, nice jeans.. I just randomly bought starch so I'm about to go buy an iron for the first time in my life because I wanna start ironing my Levi's. I can tell I do still dress like I'm kinda young but when I look at stuff I USED TO wear I'm just like "wtffff why did I think that was cool? 😭" looking like a teenage adult lol.
Honestly as a kid I thought my dad looked kinda boring in his flannels & now here I am with so many flannels in my closet.

I'm sure a lot of this thinking is relatable though I know most of us grow up, change our style, then cringe at our old stuff 😂
