How do I change my mindset to dressing for myself rather than others?
So I’m 17 years old and recently began getting into fashion, more specifically street wear with like baggy and vintage pieces. After doing some research on what sort of style / colors would look good on me, I bought a few pieces which I really liked.
Today I put together my first fit that I genuinely loved, especially with how everything fits on me. However, something felt off because I just went to run a few errands, and none of my friends saw my outfit.
That initial disappointment made me realize I was sort of dressing for others rather than myself, and that’s definitely not the mindset I want to have coming into fashion.
I’ve always been concerned about what others thought of my clothes, so I felt the need to seek validation, but I want to change that up entirely so that I’m able to dress how I like without feeling like others’ opinions are required, even if it’s just wanting them to see the outfit.
I want to be able to wear what I like and be at peace with my opinion of the outfit alone. I know it’s just clothes so it’s not that deep at the end of the day, but some advice would be really helpful!

How do I post on the subreddit?
Everytime I post on r/male fashion advice I get no interactions with the post and the upvote button is grayed out. I’m assuming this means my post didn’t go through, but I’m wondering how I bypass this? Thanks.

Sizing Questions for Baggy Jeans
I’m someone who has pretty long legs, and am looking to get a pair of baggy jeans. Was looking into some Levi ones, specifically this pair:
https://www.levi.com/US/en_US/clothing/men/jeans/loose/568-loose-straight-carpenter-mens-pants/p/558490044
However, the length only goes up to 34, and that’s typically too short for me. As a reference since I don’t have exact sizing measurements of my leg, I wear a size 32x36 on their 514 straight fit jeans, and that 36 length fits my leg pretty well to a point where it falls on my sneakers.
So, the main question I have here is if a pair of 32x34 baggy jeans would fit me as they should because of them being baggy, or if them being considered baggy only affects the width and that a length of 34 would still be too short?
Sorry if the question is a bit confusing, and am willing to clarify. Also, if anyone has any suggestions for baggy jeans for men with longer legs I would appreciate it!
