Well, that is not me. If you knew me, you would know that fashion plays nothing in my life. Now saying that, I ride clipless most of the time. But, there are two bikes that I ride with clips and one with powergrips, the rest of my bikes are clipless.

The reason I ride non-clipless is because I am not a flashy guy. I don't like the looks of clipless shoes, so when I go out, I wear simple white leather sneakers. I want simple shoes that I can easily walk in. If I am commuting, I have shoes at work to put on, if I am going for a bike ride, I will wear clipless, if I am meeting friends at a bar, etc. or going shopping, I will wear my simple white sneakers and use a bike with the clips or powergrips. I just don't care to wear clipless shoes when off of the bike.
