I got a poncho for indoor. It was so confy I wear it to the cinema but I felt like everyone was staring at me.

Thoughts? My mother said I look like I smoke weed all day when she saw me and my gf said I look like some eco hippy bum.

I dont know. Those are two opinions but I wanted to know what you all think.

Edit: i know my jeans are dirty. I just finished mudding a small wall and thought I can do that without making a mess lol

    My mother said I look like I smoke weed all day when she saw me and my gf said I look like some eco hippy bum.

    Those opinions are probably representative. If you’re cool with people thinking that about you, then go for it.

    if you’re not at this point now, you will one day be at the point where you just do not give a fuck. i wear whatever the fuck I want and if anyone was to comment on it I’d say “fuck off.”

    If I want to dress like D’Artagnan or Nosferatu I fucking will

    Those are the opinions of people around you. Traditional hippie bum/ pot smoker type wear something like that in movies in the 1990s. So people may look at you with that sentiment. If you don’t care then just wear it. But keep in mind your gf opinion, maybe just don’t wear it out with her.

    Nobody is asking the important questions here:

    Where do you live?
    What haircut/beard do you have?
    Do you wear hats?
    What do you do for a living?

    If your answers are:

    Texas / New Mexico / Old Mexico
    Western style
    Western style
    Rancher / Bandito / Editor of Western Style

    Then you are authorized for this look. If you have a different answer for 2/4 of these questions then…welp…you better have an itchy trigger finger to outgun all the Colt .45 comments headed your way, hombre.

    There is but one relevant question: Is that a real Mexican poncho, or is that a Sears poncho?

    My first instinct wouldn’t be weed but you’re going to get stares simply because it’s not something people wear a lot (where I’m at at least). As others have said it’ll be down to what you’re willing to put up with.

      Now that I think about it, the pattern is also probably a factor. If it was all black you’d probably get way less attention for it.

    I would. The llama is cool. I’m not particularly self conscious about my clothing these days.

    Personally I live in an area with many hispanic and indigenous people and it makes me think of South America, not hippies. But who knows, I had green hiking pants and found out that many people thought I was walking around in wannabe military gear, so knowing the perceptions of your intended audience helps, especially when they’re different than your own.

    Who cares? Wear it if you like it. I get stared at for my blue hair and bright polish. Don’t care.

    My first impression is you like llamas. Didn’t think about the weed and eco hippie, but now that I think about it, it does imply those too.

    Eco hippie who smokes weed, but really loves llamas!

    I would, and I don’t care about looks or opinions. But since you seem to care, you’d better take the opinion of those around you into account rather than that of random strangers online.

    It does have kind of stoner hippie bum vibes to it. That being said, my movie theater is cold as shit and I definitely don’t blame anyone bringing a blanket/poncho in.
