I`ve been wondering, what would you say is your current clothing/fashion-chic, how would you define it? I`ve been finding myself in a "sophisticated japanese-anime-druggie-`puterboy" kinda phase..make any sense at all? How `bout you?

not nervous

plain fruit of the loom hoodies that cost 25 euro each, you will always see me in either a cream or navy one. or if the other two are dirty a green one, but hopefully not for long.

I would have said Japanesey punk with a slosh of grungy military. Or is that just wishful thinking?

I always wear an ironic trucker hat over my artfully greasy mid-length hair, coupled with a pair of oversized Seven jeans, yellow and blue dunks and a Bathing Ape t-shirt.

Not.

Full-on going out style: Nigerian preppie bling

(i.e. colourful suits, fake diamond jewellery and really silly hats)

Casual going-out style: Colour-coordinated slouch

(i.e. colour-matched accessories, shoes and t shirts and an old pair of jeans)

Loafing around style: tuppenny tropical

(i.e. checked shorts, white t-shirt and birkenstocks)

Buy nothing that PJ Harvey wouldn't wear.

Oh my God that's so true. Do an image search in Google.

We must set that as an essential fashion rule.

My style could probably be best described as "Impractical Cab Driver".

Manga Lord Peter?

I’m mid-way between that whole “I could be in a band, me” look that was more popular in the 90s (jeans, 70s jumpers, leather jacket, ‘Strokes’ hairdo -I know, it’s terrible) and … a kind of outdoor-sy geography teacher look
It’s not going too well on the sartorial front

ooh, likey likey the sound of that.

It's more about obsessions with me:

My 'red'ness is reaching ludicrous proportions, so generally I'm a better-dressed, more attractive jack white. (without the cameltoe/lunchbox.)

In other news I've just acquired a beautiful cap, looks like 30s police/military, which makes me look like the sexiest thing ever. So am wearing that rather alot. Cabaret-chic, I guess.

Oh and just to say 'bathing ape' argghghghghhhhhh..

have seen *five* bathing ape shirts in the last couple of weeks. this town has too much money.

I want to project to people who do a lot of drugs that I also do a lot of drugs, and I also want to project to the people I work with that I work there, and I don't want to have to dress specially for work. I wear straight, plain button-up dress shirts in muted shades of grey, beige, and blue. Some of them have slight patterning, like a grid. I wear dress pants and dressy shoes which have been wrecked by too many winters. I've got too much hair.

I think I may have pulled off the worst of both worlds, but I'm not sure.

Mister Snee

07:45 / 20.02.04

(Sometimes I wear one of a small selection of black T-shirts which I acquired across a few years' visits to a geek conference in Detroit. When I really feel like dressing up, I'll wear one under a dress shirt. I also own a shirt from a Radiohead concert and a shirt from a Marilyn Manson concert.

I am not a very well-dressed person.

Sweaters.

Cheap. Easy. Cruel.

19:46 / 20.02.04

grant, those were quite possibly the worst looking sweaters I have ever seen. My step-mom makes ones that are nearly as bad.

I generally wear whatever is comfortable. Most often some sort of relaxed fit jean or slack with a t-shirt, sweater, or ivory-snapped western shirt. Running or skate shoes usually finish off the ensemble. In the winter, my black leather biker jacket is always with me. I don't do hats unless I am doing heavy, dirty, physical labor.

Grant, I really hope those gold leggings arent current clothing chic, or I will either strangle myself, or do lots of leg exercize things so my gold leggings look the best gold leggings.

But suicide would be a kinder option.

Does that stretch to the vinal pink catsuit she sportted a couple of years ago at Glastonbury too Anna?

Tryphena Absent

16:26 / 22.02.04

Of course. That pink catsuit was...

Lately I'm looking more and more like Genesis P.Orridge circa 1982. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. But the shaved head and military surplus/industrial look just feels so right in these strange times.

Perfect Tommy

04:34 / 24.02.04

My punk-rock mathematician vibe is still working it. I need more blazers, though... I've become predictable.

13:13 / 25.02.04

I can't say much about the clothing, because it's basically a horrible mix of berlin chic and "dad's closet" at the moment.

however, I DO have a heroic mullet, which, when combined with a swank pair of shoes, easily gives me the fashion-fu in Helsinki.

15:20 / 25.02.04

Those gold leggings rule. When I have seized power and hold absolute control over the hearts and minds of the people I shall wear those leggings with a white rubber wet-suit top (with the big belt with the square lead weights), calf-length boots (white) and a Royal Marines pith helmet. Dapper!

This needs to happen now. I cannot wait until you are King of Hearts and Minds.

At the moment I am trying to work out a technique that will enable me to conform with the dress code in the office, while still expressing the ineffable quality that makes me great. All while not spending a million billion pounds on a bespoke suit. I haven't yet come up with a solution.

Now entering a very trailer-trashy look. I like it.

Your obviously not trying hard enough. There are some quite interesting off the peg suits about at the moment on the high street, at least in London. I bought one for a mere 200 quid that looks like something Edward G Robinson might wear to kill less sophisticated gangsters.

Hmmm...maybe we should have pictures in this thread?

19:24 / 19.03.04

I'm praying to the gods in Nashville to turn me into a different CW singer every day. If I could find a Nudie suit I'd just die. The straw cowboy hat is actually practical in keeping old man sun from turning my barren scalp into a cancerous wasteland. Pearl snap cowboy shirts make me smile. I just can't take myself seriously in the boots, though.

03:27 / 20.03.04

I'm veering towards glam-butch... It's a mutant hybrid of femmy makeup and jewelry combined with jeans and tanks (to show off the few muscles I have left after a winter of inactivity), an Eisenhower jacket, and either boots or sandals and painted toenails if the weather's really nice...
