Caring about style is fun. It's a mostly harmless world that has its interesting characters, grail destinations, and just general awesomely creative stuff that we can all be a part of. However, it's a world that can easily suffocate anyone who wades too far into the murky swamp that is men's style. If you're not careful, you can very quickly become fully versed on the benefits of RiRi zippers, but completely forget to buy flowers for Mother's Day.
If you ever took a second to think, "Hey, maybe I'm in too deep," but then immediately started copping and blogging and nerding out again, scanning this list will hopefully alert you to the signs that you need help.

You have a brand logo tatted somewhere on your body.
If this happened while you weren't black-out drunk, then you need to seriously re-consider your brand loyalty, bruh.
Your (possibly bad) sense of style outweighs the importance you place on your career, skills, and intellect.
As unbelievable as it may seem, there are definitely more important things in your life than your clothes. Improve your mind, your job prospects, and hit the gym once in a while to upgrade your life in general. Also, read a book!
The Complex list of "50 Greatest Stores in the World" looks a lot like your bucket list.
If our list and your personal bucket list have major overlap, then your style obsession is probably borderline sociopathic. We're not saying you shouldn't spend time and energy traveling the world, but there's so much more to see than just shops.
You have a storage unit solely dedicated to sneakers and other pieces you're keeping on ice.
If a storage unit is eating away at your monthly budget, it might be time to re-up your eBay selling game.

Life is beautiful. Sometimes, style is beautiful. But running around town dropping mad loot on cabs and preening for Tommy Ton before watching alien/bird-like models wobble down a stage for 10 minutes to ear-shattering music wearing clothes that aren't available for nine months should not outweight all else that life has to offer.
Your closet is the nicest room in your crib.
When the real estate agent showed you the master bedroom, you thought, "Perfect." You then moved all your shit into the actual closet and converted the huge room into your brand new closet. If this sounds even remotely close to reality, it's time to seek counseling.
Your priorities place new jawnz over things like taking your girl out, paying the rent, or eating.
Now this is just fucked up. Not that money is everything, but if the majority of your scrilla is plopping down in the hands of shopboys and webstores daily, then the rest of your life is going to soon turn to shit. Eating ramen every night is not a badge of commitment—it's a sign that you're going to die of a sodium overdose at 33, alone, surrounded by Js.

You spend all day blogging about style, cruising forums, clicking through Style.com, and searching relevant hashtags, and then complain about people caring too much in a self-cry for help.
Seriously. Help.
