Summary

This quote challenges the assumption that personal style is solely determined by one's background, class, or wealth. Instead, it asserts that the ability to engage in a certain fashion aesthetic is not limited by such factors but is driven by one's dreams and aspirations. The speaker, being a Jewish kid from the Bronx, suggests that their affinity for preppy clothes, a style usually associated with privilege, arises from a desire to transcend societal expectations and pursue their own vision of fashion and self-expression.
