What truly makes a techwear outfit 'techwear'?

Functionality? Brand? Weather its actually waterproof? How do you feel about wearing techwear in situations that don't call for it?

My best techwear fit is extremely poverty, but I'm working on fixing that. This anorak is on the way and will be replacing my NF resolve jacket. Honestly the North Face jacket isn't so bad, it fits really well and is waterproof, but I've worn it in the rain so much that wear and tear is already showing (lasted over 3 years tho so there's that). With the NF, I've been wearing Uniqlo windproof pants, Adidas Sambas/Doc Martens depending on weather, and the DSPTCH shoulder bag. I'm still fairly new to techwear, so really, just because this outfit is weatherproof with flattering silhouette, is it techwear? I need to up my game on shoes mostly. Y-3s would be ideal but... I'm not made of money and I prefer the functional side of techwear, so something weatherproof would be ideal but thats not cheap either, I just feel more comfortable shelling out money for something that I'm not afraid to bring out in the rain.

Techwear general as well, I suppose. The other thread is pretty dead.
