The Clothes Thread

[MFB]

In the winter my attire is combat boots, jeans, black t-shirt, flannel button-up/hoodie, and beanie. I guess I'm a sucker for the classics, although some 3/4 baseball shirts would be a nice change up too. Maybe I'll add some to my collection when I get back home.

anyways, i have a few different looks i go towards.

look one: business/dressy( i dont look as classy as that... )



look two: casual business/semi-dressy:



casual:




and metal (usually just comes out during concerts. its fun to stand out of the sea of black...though my bracelets usually let me fit it)



and people often say i wear expensive stuff...truth be told, i usually shop at walmart and other cheaper stuff. i'm just good and mixing and matching stuff. buying a tie for 50 bucks is insane when you can get the same look from winners(americans have marshal) for 10 bucks, if that. same thing goes for shoes. classy doesn't have to be expensive. just shop around...


also, though its not really classy, i've been trying to pull this look off. kind of a military, steam-punk, anime, mafia look all into one:




and yes, more than anything, i love coats, and thus, fall and winter fashion is what really interests me. spring and summer fashion i find a bit boring and annoying...

[MFB]

For me, casual business is a shirt with no coat, and sleeves slighty rolled but still with a tie and tucked in. You could probably even get away with a button up shirt, tie and something like a solid cardigan as business casual if you wore it right.

[Stealthdjentstic]

T-Shirt + shorts for the summer, one kind of motha....a wears jeans when its this hot outside 0_o

[MikeH]

Also, my pea coat ....ing rules in the winter.


When it comes to shoes and outifits, I always have to go low-profile. The biggest shoe I wear (aside from my work boots) is Vans Authentics. Other than that, I wear Toms. I can wear Nike Air Max 90s when I go to the gym and they don't bother me. But I can't stand the look of them when I'm wearing my jeans. There's few occasions where I feel comfortable enough to wear them with shorts. But very few. And this is a pair of shoes I paid over $150 for. Money well spent, right?

[poopyalligator]

plain, or band shirt with a plain color collared overshirt, cargo shorts (usually polo because they are made well and i like the feel of them), and nike sbs, or 6.0s of some sort. that is pretty much the everyday attire. Although at work i tend to wear more dressy stuff with a lab coat.

[Empryrean]

I often try to incorporate a scarf with whatever I'm wearing. Just cause

[ittoa666]

Black jeans, black band t shirt, and either wal mart boots or my old pair of these....

[Cabinet]

When I wear shorts they're plaid shorts, sneakers, black t shirt with my summer jacket over it, or not.

Black t shirts make up about 80% of my t shirts, then I have 10 slim fit button ups, 4 of them being uni color for one of my blazers and just to give me some basic variety. Here's one of my sweet blazers, newest addition actually.

Like this, but with more accent in the colors. Can't wear anything that isn't a single color under it :P
If I wanna rock the almost Carl Sagan look I put a dark red turtle neck under it

For long pants it's always jeans paired with black dress shoes. I find that dress shoes really make whatever I wear look somewhat nicer (except with shorts!)

Everything slim fit, no graphics.

[Michael T]

What color to wear today ?!?!

Jeans/Cargo pants and Band T-Shirt. Everyday Everywhere.

[Murmel]

I'm surprised of the amount of clothes everyone has.

I have 1 grey sweater (posted earlier), and 1 blue Oxford shirt. 2 pairs of jeans though I only really use 1 of them. 2 pairs of black chinos and 1 pair of beige, and like 3 t-shirts/polo shirts that I use.
I do laundry a lot

Just now I discovered that turtlenecks look ....ing awesome. I think it's because it really shows off the outline and curves of the body, I'm a huge fan of tight fit clothing. I like them especially on women Too bad it's summer in like a month, so I'll have to wait until autumn to get one.

I'm also looking to invest in one of these



Also a brown bracelet. If I can find someone to make me a sweet friendship bracelet that is blue, red and brown I'd be so happy.

[Dead Undead]

Right now it's button down Gander Mountain shirts and cargo pants.

But I'm saving up for this:


And boots. Timberlands.

Edit:
And when it's cold, leather jackets. But it's never cold enough here, so I never get to wear them.

I had FAR more shirts before I moved out to San Francisco than compared to now, since I had to fit my life into a suitcase or two at best and those could cap at 50 pounds or I had to pay money, so downsizing = only option besides storage. Not to mention all my shirts were old and had band graphics or were quirky humor and those ones were normally very impulsive buys, so I decided to donate them all for tax purposes and went to Walmart and snagged something like five bundles of 4 shirts so 20 black/grey total, and kept SOME of my older shirts. It also works out so that I can rotate laundry - do half then fold it and the stuff that's clean gets moved over so I'll grab it, then repeat.

Or I can do what I normally do and wait till the second to last day of the month when almost ALL my clothes are dirty and rush to do laundry in one day like an idiot

And hey, it's actually me in the photo, even if it's 2.5 years ago.

[All_¥our_Bass]

T-shirts and jeans, mostly black.

Are those duff shoes? I remember having a pair similar to that and they were awesome.

Yeah. Duffs Barletta's.

[DrakkarTyrannis]

My clothes I can't really post here mainly because I have different stuff. I do however love my "Morticia pants". I have a pair of pants that are really long, too long, so I cut up the bottoms of the legs and it's tattered and trails a bit. They look like the male version of the bottom of Morticia Addams' dress. They're great to wear with platforms

[leftyguitarjoe]

I find clothes to be a huge waste of money. I'll buy a new pair of jeans once a year or so, but I refuse to pay more than $15. Most of my clothes are 3 or 4 years old. The only reason I get new shirts is because of CD pre-order packages. I have one pair of sneakers (3 years old), one pair of sandals (4 years old), and my work boots (5 years old).

I dont attempt fashion. I just put on whatever is on top of the pile and go. I'd rather have a huge pile of guitars than clothes.

[WarriorOfMetal]

Clothes are annoying and I don't usually put much thought into them. My usual thing is a pair of Propper BDU pants (black or olive), a black Dickies workshirt over a t-shirt (black, olive drab, or dark purple), and combat boots. Jacket options are a black Shroud of Bereavement hoodie, a black M-65 field jacket with removable liner, or a leather biker jacket (occasionally with the hoodie under it).

[morrowcosom]

Black and white striped polo/ralph lauren track shoes, denim jeans, camo shorts, plaid shorts, black t-shirts (band logo, joke, cool design), various other colored shirts with alcohol advertisements (like my pink Schlitz Malt Liquor T-shirt), a black Hurley hoodie or a Carhartt coat, and a Hurley baseball cap half the time.

I also wear shades a lot, including indoors, because my eyes are sensitive to light.

[The Reverend]

Anything Banana Republic, Kohl's, or Target (yeah, Target) has. You'd be surprised how easy it is to look like you're wearing designer duds while not spending money.

I have this really lame habit of getting drunk and ruining all my clothes, though. Alcohol, blood, vomit and homeless people urine has cost me $300 in clothes (Target clothes, mind you).

I have a lot of tattoos, including one straight across my throat, and dressing classy helps .... with people's perception of me. Then we start talking about music, and they find out I don't listen to Gotye or whatever. People are confused when I talk about deathcore and my profuse, profound love for it. I've put a lot of thought into my appearance, and decided that I'm going to project all facets of my personality; I'm just as equally okay with Romantic period symphonies as I am with disgusting, vile metal, and I can show both equally.

Also, once I put aside the absurdly tight pants, skate shoes, and band tees with women being ripped apart and demons, really, really, really hot girls starting talking to me. I assume the two things are related.

Not trying to offend anyone, but I think most people are kinda scared off by dudes going around looking all br00talz.

It's nice but at the same time disturbing that the moment you start dressing properly people's views about you will change. Dramatically.
I kinda want to get one of my arms sleeved just because it would be such a contrast to how I look otherwise. I do enjoy that look though.
