If you get caught up in this whole style and fashion thing, it might seem like everybody is completely willing to drop a few racks at a moment's notice just to stunt. But believe it or not, there are people out there who understand that there's more to life than style, and they don't give two shits about fashion week or shopping malls.
Not to say they're necessarily right or wrong, but not caring about style frees up some time (and money) to focus on other things. So if you find yourself freezing your ass off in line for a Supreme drop, or getting into heated arguments in obscure fashion forums, maybe it's time to gain some perspective on this shit. These are The 10 Types of People Who Don't Care About Style.

The Free T-Shirt Guy
Non-Style Essentials: Concert tees, insurance tees, mustard stains
You see that guy wearing a shirt with "GEICO" on the back? Kind of cool that he caught it at a game. He lives for those moments (and the shirts you get when you sign up for a credit card at the airport). He doesn't care about style; he'd rather save money while being a corporate shill.
Your Boss
Non-Style Essentials: Extra-large tie, toupée, square-toed shoes, coffee breath
Your boss probably dresses badly on purpose to make you even more mad. Yes, he makes more money than you and still looks like shit. What are you going to do about it? He waits everyday for you to say something about his square-toed shoes so that he can prove his power by firing you for it.
The Average Hypebeast
Non-Style Essentials: Very very near deadstock shoes, parents' internet connection, lawn chair
Hypebeasts don't look at a sneaker or piece of clothing and think, "how great will this make me look?" Nope. They think, "how much can I flip this for on eBay?" These guys don't care about style, they care about hype. Big difference.
Nudists
Non-Style Essentials: Balls
Nudists are the happiest people on earth. They came into this world nude, and plan on exiting the world the same way. Their lives are carefree, they are not ashamed of their less-than-perfect body parts, and they don't feel the need to spend money on Rick Owens' new collection. How simple.
New York Cool Guys
Non-Style Essentials: Disheveled hair, distressed jeans, brooding eyes
Let these guys tell it and there's no one who cares about style less than them. They just woke up that way and threw on Junya like "whatever." Don't you understand? They spend $300 on a T-shirt because they don't care.
Bus Drivers
Non-Style Essentials: Commercial driver's license, tube socks
Does anyone wake up earlier than a bus driver? If we had to start our shift at 4 a.m. every morning, best believe we wouldn't care about style either. That's why they wear uniforms. Not to mention, it takes a different level of IDGAF to deal with all the teenage jerks who start fights on a public bus.
Your Dad
Non-Style Essentials: Stone-washed jeans, mustache
Your dad used to be cool until you were born. Your shit-filled diapers and detention notices sucked all the youth and energy out of him. Now, he could care less about style. He doesn't need to impress anyone because he did a damn good job raising a grown ass son and supporting a family. Now that's manly.
European Tourists
Non-Style Essentials: Capris, brown-lens sunglasses, giant belt buckles, gel
We still don't know why Europeans are considered stylish. Take out the cute French girls and designers and all that's left are the guys from Spain/Italy/Greece with faux hawks and rat tails wearing crystal-encrusted jeans. They vacation in the states just to shop at Abercrombie & Fitch and eat KFC. Trust us, these people do not care about style.
Neighborhood Butcher
Non-Style Essentials: Meat, knives, pot belly
It's just not worth being stylish when you're the neighborhood meats man. Butchers carve into the gnarliest parts of pigs, cows, chickens, and more. There's blood splatter everywhere. Everyone knows blood is a damn hard stain to get out, which is why slaughtermen (scary) just stick to aprons.
Married Guys
Non-Style Essentials: Bathrobe, remote control, potato chips
The male sex drive is what makes men want to be stylish. Dressing well is a competition to weed other guys out and get noticed by women with child-bearing hips. But once a guy is married, the game is over. He found a lady willing to have sex with him and him only until she dies. Hallellujah! That means no more buying expensive gear, no more buying expensive dinners, and no more trying. Guys pretty much give up on fashion (and condoms) after marriage.
