The Everyday Style of People

I don't get out very often, meaning I don't often explore other areas. I often find myself on the same path, following a routine that drives my daily activities. So in times when I find myself outside of La Crosse, I can't help but notice all of the different people and the styles that they dress themselves up in.

When I went to Chicago several weeks ago, there were so many different people with different get-ups that intrigued me. Everything seemed classy to me no matter what they were wearing. Was it because it was so different from what I'm used to? I am constantly surrounded by college outfits here in La Crosse and if I'm not running into students its usually 40 years and up. In Chicago though, it's a range of everybody and the diversity is so much higher. It's kind of weird how just a few hours of driving can completely change the dynamic of the environment in terms of people and how they dress, which is kind of a genre within itself. Fashion greatly depends on the accessibility of each article of clothing. In La Crosse, we've got the typical brands of clothing such as American Eagle, Old Navy, etc. In larger cities there are much fancier places and the people that shop there have much different budgets. For instance, I was watching a video where these famous YouTubers went on a shopping spree for each other with no budget. Between the four of them, they totaled $10,000 worth of accessories. That is enough to pay almost half of my student loans and they spent it on clothing. This was out in LA so the style there is much more expensive than that of La Crosse. When I spend $80 on pants, I cry on the inside. These YouTubers spent $490 on a pair of sunglasses and didn't bat an eye. Pretty darn crazy.
