To me his style comes off as hipster assimilation. Am I missing something?

You can get jeans for $30, glasses for $50, and shirts for $10, at Costco. If this guy's concern is really about a budget, he is bad at budgeting.

To be fair, Costco is definitely not the cheapest place to buy clothing. Plus the author lives in NYC which probably doesn't have that many large Costco facilities near subway.

Actually NYC has several Costcos within range of the subway.
