While I get what you're saying, I respectfully disagree in one sense. There are plenty of people out there who are in no way trying for a "look" - they're just dressing in a way that is comfortable. Assuming everyone is making an attempt to "express themselves" is a little like saying that not collecting stamps is a hobby. Like it or not, some people simply don't care. Does the end result count as a "look"? Of course - but only to people such as yourself who care in the first place.
At no point in my life have I ever even given a thought about wearing my hikers in public. I'm not trying to be ironic, or make a statement, and I sure as hell didn't wear them at 13 (around that age, I was insisting on "leather" slip-ons so that I could look cool and fashionable everywhere I went). No, I don't wear them in a 3 piece suit (duh) - but they're my go-to especially in a city that sees snow 9 months out of the year on average. Maybe some of you simply don't dress casual very often.
Don't get me wrong, I have my fashion No-Nos. Socks and shorts is a big one for me. It's always bothered me for some reason.
