What's your favorite type of fashion wear?
I like some gothic as well as evening wear.

I also like clothes that have an international "flavor" to them. The more exotic and different, the better. There are some shops around here that sell such material but they are expensive as hell.

So I just wear jeans and a t-shirt.

1. I'm simple...
Pants: Dickies, Ben Davis, and Carhartt... I have almost every colour and style of each..
...and a few nice pair of slacks

Shirts: white tees or size 15 1/2 white button down short sleeved shirts.

Basically, a white shirt with pants.. I don't wear jeans that aren't Carhartt..

I have damn near every colour of Hoodie..

And I wear a black Carhartt jacket when it is cold.

And my kicks are solid black Etnies.

2. Paisley!
For some reason, I like flare leg pants, and boot cut jeans. I never used to.

Oh, and I forgot turtlenecks.

3. Fashion is one of the things that makes me glad to be male...
Edited on Fri Nov-03-06 03:47 AM by Spider Jerusalem
because in menswear, at least, there seem to be more "classic" things that never really go out of style (so there's less worry about dressing according to current trends).

My usual look(s):

casual - plain-front khaki trousers, long-sleeved oxford-cloth buttondown (with or without a tie) in white, blue, green, or striped, or a crew-neck sweater/pullover in dark colours (black, grey, navy)

dressy - three-button single-breasted or one-over-six double-breasted suit in charcoal grey, with a white or blue pinpoint oxford shirt (spread collar with single-breasted, point collar with double)

shoes - black Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star low-tops, black Dr. Martens oxfords (casual) or black cap-toe oxfords (dressy)

outerwear - double-breasted khaki Burberry trenchcoat, US Navy issue wool peacoat, or US Navy issue leather flight jacket

I don't like: bright colours (except for things like neckties, pocket squares, and braces) or synthetic fibres.

5. I've been called very "city" in my dress...
...I tend to buy clothes by 4 designers; DKNY, Kenneth Cole, Robert Graham, and/or Ben Sherman.

6. Shoes
I'm a major shoe whore. I can't help myself when I see a nice pair of shoes in a shop. I HAVE to have them. I'm up to about 250 pairs now and storage is a problem.

10. Heh.
I like dressing up. I'm home during the day, so I wear jeans and sweaters alot this time of year, but I love getting fixed up and going out. I love skirts and boots. I just sewed a pencil skirt the other week. I don't like very conservative clothes; I'm not at all a fan of khaki pants. I like very feminine fabrics, but not necessarily prints. I follow the current fashion trends, but I only wear those I particularly like (I will not be wearing any of those "bubble skirts" anytime soon!) I love clothing and acccessories, always have, and I enjoy playing around with my own physical image.
