Why are Americans so awful with fashion?

>> No.8156161

>>8156139
75% of American dress like shit

the other 25% look alright, and I'd say like 2-5% know are "fluent" in fashion and have a decent knowledge of designers and know what they're doing

w/e, just makes it more special when we find someone else that thinks the way we do
