If you were to spend just a few minutes browsing "hype beast"-like forums/communities around the internet, you would likely arrive very quickly at the conclusion that it isn't about looking put-together and wearing a genuinely fashionable outfit, it's about how many dollars worth of products you can comfortably wear at a time (to get "the drip"), even if that means layering it up in ways that absolutely do not work aesthetically. A truly bizarre offshoot of fast-fashion. Lots of folking out there going into major debt just to own designer goods. They definitely seem to believe in the "dress for the job you want, not the job you have" thing, but usually work in dead-end jobs without any chance of career progression. Judging by the interest in 'fashion reps', I would say it's very much a peer pressure issue, but one that extends far into adulthood for some folks.
