What is my design aesthetic?

People constantly tell me they get my design aesthetic. It must something i put in every garment i design unknowingly. I find that hard to swallow as internally i tend to purge my personal inspirational references however  there must be some traces left over if people say so. Personally i get bored of details fairly quickly and tend to look for something new (something most designers do, specially people like Karl Lagerfield) 

For example, when i made this Coat i had never worked with plaid, done draping on a skirt of a coat before and therefore to me felt completely fresh. Of course classmates swore this was so me. Is there something about what one present from the inner being that no matter how different represents the same soul? Is there such a thing as spiritual design or at least a metaphysical resonance that goes beyond fabric and thread? Am I that naive that i don't see this in my own work. Anyhow this picture makes me ask the question, Is wearing shorts with cowboy boots super gay?
