I agree, you can probably compromise and do a street VK style, though you might find it hard to buy the items. Whatever you do, it'll look a little more dressed up than most casual dressers, but it won't have as strong an impact. It's just a matter of taking casual wear and ramping the volume a little as opposed to going full throttle with the real deal. Like instead of the whole head-to-toe, you maybe orientate your outfit around a single statement piece. Albeit I'm not VK, I've had a variety of really outrageous coats over the years, but i get away with them on a causal basis by teaming with a fairly plain (but well cut) top and jeans, but with interesting accessories. I'm basically in jeans and a T, which is comfortable and practical, but it looks like so much more.
Ditto anything else; play that element up and tone down the rest so it really pops, and save your full-dress pieces for special occasions.
