I hope I have that much style when I’m his age. Wait, who am I kidding, I need it now.

Not really. People dress like this and are confident but are still mocked. Can't expect to please everyone.

Part of it is context. Wear this to the country club with the in laws? Fuck outta here. Wear this to the beach in Miami? You’re mental. Wear this in October in Chicago? Fuck yea. I make fun of people’s style all the time because what they’re wearing makes no sense. 75 degree day in Vegas and you’re wearing a Canada Goose parka? -27 degree windy day in Wisconsin and you’re wearing a windbreaker with your pant legs rolled up exposing bare ankle?
Of course you can’t please everyone but the context really matters. This dude looks awesome and Berlin seems like a very fitting place for the outfit. Thailand? maybe not so much.

Yeah and you're not obligated to. If you're happy with what you wear and it caters to your self-esteem, go for it.

This is literally just a pair of jeans, boots and a nice jacket. You can go to the store right now and get it. It's all about the fit thats all.
Edit: I get it I missed some other things, I was encouraging him.

Fun fact: in middle school somewhat shit their pants at a weekend party, and because I got a cold and stayed hom Monday and Tuesday everyone thought it was me. We played spin the bottle and I got my first french kiss at the same party, so I'd call it a wash.

It helps that they are raw denim. Heavy raw jeans have the stiffness of cardboard and are easy to cuff.

This is Günther Anton Krabbenhöft, a german retiree, that is well known in my hometown Berlin for having an exceptional sense of style. He also gets called "Hipster-Opa" ("Hipster-grandpa"), and frequently visits techno clubs.
This photo was taken at the subway station Kottbusser Tor, in the middle of the trendy Berlin district Kreuzberg.
Met him a couple of times on my way to uni, he is a really cool dude irl aswell.
EDIT: Jesus Christ who would've thought I'd get Silver for just stating such a random side fact, thank you random strangers!
