Scoring Guide:

0-5: Congratulations! Your few sartorial quirks are inoffensive enough to seem charming, instead of a symptom of some terrible Urban Outfitters-borne disease.

5-10: Once a day, someone watches you walk by and thinks, “What an asshole.” However, there’s a pretty good chance that person’s style is worse than yours, so don’t worry too much about it.

10+: PLEASE STOP.
