Designer wardrobe?

I’m generally a black T-shirt and jeans kind of guy. Sometimes I wear a dress shirt. How do you guys dress? Do you have any influences for your style?

I will no longer wear anything that isn’t made of stretch fabric these days. Not saying I’m a fan of the athleisure segment, but my wardrobe is all stretch all the time now…

Blue jeans and an ASU t-shirt. A round neck striped sweater in winter.

Nothing but pure silk touches this body.

I don’t think I’ve worn jeans since 2012.

You might just want to go your own way.
Rumour has it, that I used to look almost exactly like Mick Fleetwood on the cover, when I went to school in the 90ies. Lol.

hopefully minus the tassels, mo-i? :rofl:

My wardrobe has been described as “geek chic” … whatever that means.


Haven’t tucked a shirt in 5 years, don’t plan on it soon. Tee shirts are for under a proper shirt for work, OK as a standalone on the weekends and it is a quality tee (made from merino).

I don’t want to see legs at work, OK for the weekend. Other than that, anything goes.

Half (OK, not half, I live in Canada) the time I’m working (product testing, client “meetings”, event/consumer research)…

I tend to wear a stupid facial expression and teeshirts with obscure sci-fi references
or Land Rover tees :smiley: I get them cheap from work :wink:

I have been wearing Levi’s 501 jeans daily since I was a child - that’s at least 68 years. I have never owned/worn a pair of Levi’s with a zipper. I started wearing inexpensive black turtle necks before I started my business in 1983 because I needed durable inexpensive clothing that would hold up to a designer constantly in a shop. My wardrobe hasn’t changed, 501’s and a black t-neck. So, Steve Jobs copied me. I can also get dressed in the dark :slight_smile:

In general, I rarely wear black. I completely understand its classic nature and the “it goes with everything” mindset, but I for whatever reason I just have to have color. That’s not to say I’m running around in Lisa Frank all day, but I’m almost always going to have some kind of non-black pop,even if it’s as toned down as a nice olive green or charcoal heather. I’m always looking for what I would call “subtle uniquity” - not trying to stand out in a crowd, but always trying to instill a touch of personality to my look.

Also these days it’s pretty much always sweatpants, shorts, or a suit (on the rare occasions when a suit is appropriate in California.) Jeans are so finicky I’ve given up on them consistently fitting in a way I like while giving me enough mobility to, you know, sit down comfortably.

I once heard the wisdom-

“never hire a designer in khakis”

I’ve worn jeans and the same Red Wing 9016 boots for about 7 years (resoled them once). Never a tucked shirt, ever. Used to be solid color t-shirt guy, but moved to untucked button downs. Building a nice collection of flannels (Twin Six, Topo Designs,etc) for the winter months.

Oh, and exclusively cycling socks. Any time I’m wearing socks, I’m wearing cycling socks.

@engelhjs that reminds me of the scene in Ted Lasso where Roy Kent explains his black t shirt is actually very dark heathered grey :rofl:

I remembered seeing @_YO school pics :P. The 90s were a different time.

@_YO Hahaha. I’m not quite at Roy Kent levels of cynicism and surliness…yet.
