Poll: Are you "fashionable"?

[infohippie]

"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable we have to change it every six months."
- Oscar Wilde

I wear what's comfortable, and appropriate to the situation. At home, being winter right now, this means a comfortable T-shirt, cargo pants, combat boots and a hoodie. At work... well, much the same, really. I wear (and look damn good in) a suit when appropriate, and leather/fishnet/trenchcoat/whatever when I'm out at a goth club.

 

[Liudeius]

Not at all. I try to make my wardrobe as close to a cartoon character's as possible. (Meaning most of my clothes look the same. Even when they don't it's only a slight color variation rather than a style variation.)

 

[The_Echo]

My entire wardrobe consists of Levi 501 jeans and T-shirts of several media symbols like Ghostbusters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Adventure Time, as well as a few Mario shirts. Eventually I hope to add in some band shirts because I listen to a lot of independent and/or foreign bands, and I feel the need to spread the word. All my socks are the exact same, and I only have one pair of shoes. They're grass-stained, grey sneakers.

This is my entire collection of clothing, underclothes notwithstanding.

So no, I'm not entirely sure that qualifies as fashionable.

 

[Saelune]

I can put together outfits I think are nice and fashionable (as defined by me though, since what is fashionable now is trash), but I dont have the confidence to wear them.

 

[TheLoneBeet]

I'd say sort of. I don't wear anything 'weird' but I don't keep up with the latest trends and all that. I'm just sort of a normal jeans/t-shirt kind of guy.

 

[triggrhappy94]

I try. I have a kind of punk meets hipster ( I have no idea how to describe it) look.
Pac Sun + Zumiez + random surf shops

But its SO hard to get any more complex with guy clothing than just a shirt, pants, shoes, and maybe a belt, and jacket.

 

[annilator666]

if a guns n roses shirt jeans and a slayer hat and occasionally aviators when its sunny here so no im not

 

[Broady Brio]

Not really.

I dress fashionable enough so that people don't think I live on the streets.

And since fashion is this at the moment [http://www.topman.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33056&storeId=12555&productId=2378874&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=207181&parent_categoryId=207169&pageSize=20][footnote]Not that I have a problem with Topman's other stuff[/footnote], I'm just fine about the way I dress.

 

[chaosyoshimage]

I wear what I think looks cool, usually black faded jeans and a geeky T-Shirt. If I had more money, I'd try different things, though. I'm thinking of getting some hats. Maybe trying a more punk look from time to time, as well.

 

[concrete89]

Nah.
People who try to look fashionable do so only because they are too unimaginative to try to look good.
That said, I often give in to practicality. But then again, practical clothes tend to look quite awesome.

 

[DustyDrB]

Sort of. I don't follow trends, but I wear clothes that don't really go out of style. So I just look like a normal dude, pretty much. Lots of polos and khakis (though in the picture of me on my profile here, I'm wearing random ass thermals). Throw in some jeans from time to time. I'm never at the height of fashion, but I still look good.

I basically have three modes, where I look like I'm about to either go surfing, hiking, or sailing.

 

[Broken Blade]

Nope, and proud of it!

 

[SquidVicious]

Not really, I come from a very blue collar lower-middle class family so most of my clothing came from places like the Salvation Army. As I got older and starting working outdoors doing construction or in lumberyards, I started to exclusively buy work clothing because of the quality. A $50 pair of Carhartt blue jeans will last me at least three years, whereas a pair of jeans from American Eagle or some other popular retail chain will maybe get 6 or 8 months of wear before they fall apart (I wear the fuck out of my clothes). Most days I'll be wearing Carhartt blue jeans or dungarees with one of my many band t-shirts, and generally a long sleeve cotton plaid shirt.

That said though I do have a suit and a few nice jumpers for when the occasion calls, but those occasions are pretty rare nowadays. On a Friday/Saturday night I'm far more content to go to the shitty bar my friend works at and get free shots then go dress up and chase plastic dolls at some fancy expensive bar downtown.

 

[olliefrom1990]

I'd like to think so, got soo many clothes its quite embarrassing, I know girls with less. -_-

 

[Ace of Spades]

My girlfriend sometimes teases me about my wardrobe being almost entirely gray. I almost always wear jeans, a gray t-shirt and the same pair of sneakers, so I'm pretty much clueless when it comes to fashion.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

Not at all.
I wear whatever fits me, I am usually a cheapskate when it comes to self indulgence in the field of clothing.

That's just like me. I've spent about ?80 on clothing in 3 years.
I just had to get some XXS shirts, XS is just too big, bah!

Are you serious?
You must be tiny.

I am serious. And I'm 186 cm, or about 6" 1' in non metric.
64 KG, waist circumferrence of 61 cm. It's hard work

 

[IneptInception]

I'm as fashionable as an obese, relatively poor male can be. I'm completely obsessed with women's fashion, but considering men's fashion moves at the rate of a wheelchair bound glacier (Pants, just re invent them every year in different fabrics and perhaps have them too skinny or short for your body, p.e.r.f.e.c.t) I try to dress in my own "little way". If neons are "in" I go completely crazy and spend my entire wallet on anything that might burn the nearest stranger's eyes out with, or if the colour palette looks like a manic depressive turtle's bathroom colour scheme, I don't buy clothes until the next trend rolls along. I have the confidence to wear whatever, but finding "whatever" that will fit me is DAMN DIFFICULT.

INCOMING FASHION RANT, IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT FASHION READ NO FURTHER.

I facepalm whenever I see women with the perfect figure to dress in anything they so desire and they don't; for instance you see someone whos 5"11 and she's in black leggings, an overbearingly figure less tunic and £150 Uggs. EURGH, go into Primark, find the nearest set of high waisted, over sized pants, buy a pair and put them with a cute £6 blouse and some chunky wedges. You have the figure, the look will suit you, and you will look GORG. People WILL compliment you and look at you as if you're fashion jesus. In short, if you have the figure for something, don't waste your days looking like an enslaved, 50 something house wife; empower yourself. You can be casual and still look amazing, don't think that those UGGS are doing you any favours.

In regards to men, I laugh at you when you think that pair of plum chinos go with that Fred Perry polo and those River Island high tops. You look like a sheep. Stop it.

/END OF FASHION RANT.

Overall, I admire people who can find their own fashion over what's force fed to them. If you don't think fashion is a way of expressing yourself, that's perfectly fine, but berating others for it is completely un neccesary.

LOLCHECKDATPARAGRAPH. You deserve a medal if you read through all of that.

Yeesh... I'm ever so slightly stockier than that, but most of my shirts/sweatshirts/fleeces are L. However, finding jeans with a 30" waistline and 34" leg is difficult to say the least.

OT: I'll leave this to George Santayana - 'fashion is something barbarous, for it produces innovation without reason and imitation without benefit.'
