Clearly what I wear depends on where I need to go. Since I don't need to go anywhere at the moment I'm not wearing anything. Almost.

For really formal occasions I have my tailor made shirts and suits, but I ususally don't need them more than a day each month, if that often.

When I go to work I usually dress in what's called the "IT look," or smart causal really. Nice polo shirts in the summer, comfy shirts in the winter, with slacks, chinos, and jeans on fridays

Shoes I have formal dress shoes, causal shoes, dockers, tennis shoes, hiking boots, trainers, football shoes, steel toe boots (don't ask), and sandals.

Colour wise most of my dress shirts are white with some pastel colours (very light taint of blue, green, yellow, and red). Most of my comfy shirts are either stripped or checkered. My ties are generally of bright colours with big patterns My polo shirts are mostly bright colours. My tees are mostly white.

I really hate fashion and brand names like Gap, Abercrombie, etc. so I tend to wear comftorable jeans and a sweater in the winter time, and shorts/jeans with a plain t-shirt in the spring/summer.

I do own one 'express' t-shirt, one American Eagle dress shirt, and one Aeropostole Sweater, but all were gifts.

If I'm just lounging around though, or don't have anything important to do that day, it's jeans and a plain white T-shirt for me.

comfort and functionality are all I care about. I'm the only guy at the bank who doesn't wear a tie, and when the suits come to town for their big meetings, they always look at me as though I'm from another planet but I don't really care. I fix their computers and ties are uncomfortable....they can look at me that way all they want, I'm still the guy they call when stuff breaks.

So....I wear the minimum requirements to get by at work (semi-casual pants and anything but a white shirt, no tie) and jeans and black tee's around the house. Shoes? Bah.....haven't bought a new pair of shoes in years....eventually, when the two I've got get holes in them, I'll consider it, but these are comfortable, and as long as they keep my toes warm, I don't really care much about it.

Cold weather gear (not that we get much of that here in SC) amounts to a long black coat tossed over whatever else I'm wearing.

Never really put much thought into it....if it's comfortable and the colors match, I'm good to go.

Iain wears big, loose comfortable trousers with T-shirts and Hooded sweaters. During the time he travels to his nightly club spots these magically transform themselves from tattered sportswear with Nike and Adidas logos to Skater-Punk-Chic with eXtreme and Jimmy Eat World logos.

I used to be a symphony in leather and crushed velvet. Chelsea boots or biker boots, bollock-crusher drainpipe jeans, silk shirts and either biker jackets or long-cut black (finget-tip+) jackets. Lots of tie-dye too.

Now I wear any old crap that hasn't got my daughter's food splattered all over it. At the moment, that's a FCUK T-shirt, "Next" jeans in black bedford cord and Caterpillar logger boots. I still live in biker jackets though.

The last time I went to BC in the winter, all I brought was some worn out running shoes. I had very cold feet.

Yeah, it's too cold. I have to wait for busses and whatnot, so it's a must for warm boots. I also have to walk across this big field, which is a big chore when there's several feet of snow on it. Sneakers wouldn't do the job there.

If it doesn't smell, it's eligible to be worn by me.

KrazyHorse's posts have only proved what I said about nerds...


As for me... let's see... i need to look in my closest... I wear either blue jeans or khakis, probably baggy by your standards, and yes, if I pulled up my shirt, my boxer shorts would show because my pants are well below my waist, held on by a belt. My shirts are generally nice. I own tommy hilfiger, polo, etc. shirts but I also wear shirts that arent name brand if they look good. Generally, long sleeved, collared buttoned up shirts or short sleeved collared shirts. In winter like if i went out right this second, I would wear a hoodie with my heavy coat over it. In the summer, I would wear a white ralph lauren t-shirt. My shoes is usually Nikes or timbs. I dont believe in spending over one hundred dollars for one article of clothing so i dont be wearing mj's or jerseys or nothing like that usually.

my clothes might seem kind of expensive, but a couple are irregualr and besides, prices are kind of cheap in the cities.


thanks

I'm not sure what you call them, but I have a couple of light-weight, short-sleeved shirts that have a shiny pattern on the entire shirt's surface.

I like to wear those for when I go out dancing with my friends. As for my daily shoes -- I wear shoes similar to what Asher posted a picture of earlier.

I never said anything about Tommy t-shirts. I dont own a tommy t-shirt. makes you look like a damn faggot (oh wait... the shiny shirts do that ). I do have two tommy collared, buttoned up shirts though. I dont think they can be created from a Fruit of the Loom T-shirt...

irregular are the ones where there's a minor stitching problem or something like that. They usually cost half or quarter price or something like that and there's nothing wrong with them. in fact, the only way anyone could ever tell is if they look at your label. it'll be torn. (back in the day, when i was in elementary school and junior high, i remember people always making a big deal when somebody came to school in a tommy and everybody wanting to check the label if it was real or if it was just torn or a fake)
