Oddly enough, I think I may have done the same
Which is ironic for someone who has spent his whole life oblivious to that which is fashionable. You see, I went through a phase of wearing a black trilby hat on stage. Then a couple of years ago, a more fashion-conscious friend pointed out that these were all the rage. (Since they have been adopted by the Shoreditch Shitehawks I have actually stopped wearing my own, which is a shame because it's a nice hat)

Ditto the checked shirts. Ditto the long hair. The difference being, I'm glad to say, that they seemed to expend vast amounts of time and money getting these to look just right, whereas I can grab the first shirt that comes to hand in the wardrobe and my hair pretty much maintains itself.

My friend's boyfriend is amused by the checked shirt thing
because the trendies spend upwards of £40 in Topshop buying them and his was £2 in a charity shop. He's doing hipster douche the proper way.

Last year I posted a question about whether or not a semi-transparent lace dress was too slutty for my Christmas works do. I had to make my dress because I couldn't find one anywhere. Literally weeks later lace was all the rage and the same dresses were everywhere.

Mine cost me £5 for a metre of lace
I teamed it with a black trilby and my long black goth coat. When I walked up the street some guy said I looked fit. But then another guy said I looked like the bad guy out of Roger Rabbit, so swings and roundabouts.

I like my trilby
But only wear it for work, as I can't really balance it on the mo' without looking like half a prick.
