Anyone else put a lot of thought into what to wear for shows?

Fairly ratted out bluejeans, not skintight but definately on the skinny side, tight enough to sit well below the hips without actually falling off without a belt.
Some shoes
and GO
Ive never worn a shirt at a show.
But then 95% of our shows have been house parties, and I typically get stuck gigging bass at staged venues, and it just seems more common with bassists. Never got any shittalk for it (

except on here

)

Well, is it cliché to just wear what I normally wear? I just make sure its clean before I go on stage.

exactly, same here....but i still put a bit of extra thought into my stagewear, like trying to decide the best combination of shirt/pants for the band/show/venue and how they go with the guitar i'm playing as my #1.

Heh.

I think i currently own exactly one band shirt. It's a Muse shirt from their Absolution tour, and it was a gift from my bandmate (he knows i like Muse, and i'm guessing the shirt doesn't fit him any more).

I wore it yesterday for the first time to do some work in the yard.

Yeah, I used to wear jeans and then either a long sleeve shirt, shirt sleeve shirt (concert on blank), but that gets too hot when you are moving around. Especially if you are opening for Symphony X at Jaxx and the AC is broken on one of the hottest days of the summer. But now I generally wear cargo shorts (usually camo) and a influential band shirt with the sleeves cut off (I guess its a holdover from the 80's).
