I have very little anxiety about doing or wearing something embarrassing in public. The vast majority are strangers I'll never see again. I won't remember them and they won't remember me. And even if they do remember me, I don't care at all, because I can't be confronted with that in the future.

But I have a ton of anxiety about doing or wearing something embarrassing in front of people I have to work with or talk to on a daily basis.

So, for the most part I keep my mouth shut unless spoken to, and just try to copy what other people wear. That way I'm mostly known as the quiet or shy person rather than the bizarre, awkward fellow. Inevitably I'll eventually acquire all of those labels if someone is around me enough, but at least I can make "quiet" outweigh "bizarre" nine times out of ten.
