Thread: What do you wear?

From the Drying Clothes thread, a couple of simple questions.
1) What are you wearing?
2) What odd thing do you like to wear?
My current outfit is a t-shirt I wrote on at Sunday School which declares that Love Never Fails and a pair of zipped-off zip-offs. It's covered in bits of garden.
I like to wear my ankle-length blue hoodie from Morocco. It's comfortable in any weather, and gets attention.
Cattyish.

Seriously! I already regret my impulse to bare all in the laundry thread, no way I'm going to talk about my shameful clothing.

Right now, I'm wearing my work stuff: A T-shirt advertising my bar, cut-off jeans and sensible waitress shoes. Pretty much, that's my wardrobe most of the time, but when I'm loafing around the house, I love wearing my husbands old beat up Carhartt shirts. He wears the heck out of the, and they are so full of holes I can't wear them in public, but they are soft and roomy and comfy (kind of like him ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) )

It's all on me and I won't tell it.

Shorts and sleeveless top. That's pretty much all that's comfortable to wear for 6 months of the year in Texas, with slight variations into airy skirts and summer dresses for posher occasions.
I love wearing big snuggly sweaters but the season for those here is sadly short. Back in the UK in my student days I would wear 3 layers and my beloved camp blanket over the top, for working at my desk.

I live in my jammies. They're the first thing I put on when I come into the house and I wear them pretty much all the time. Apart from that jeans and a tshirt when I'm going out and a stupid uniform when I'm at work. But basically jammies rule.

I'm wearing a pair of black seersucker capris with a scoop neck, red tee. I have a mess of seersucker slacks for summer because they are as cool and comfy as shorts. More so, since shorts and I don't get along.
Not actually all that quirky, but I also like casual jersey dresses just to wear around in warm weather. There aren't too many dresses sashaying in the stores and streets around here, but to me they are like wearing lengthened tee-shirts that you don't have to worry about wearing with trousers or shorts. Airy! ![[Cool]](cool.gif)

Blue shirt, yellow neck tie with blue butterflies, dark grey coloured pants and Blundstones. Also wearing my heart on my sleeve.
What do I want to wear? I want a Star Trek uniform, and a tricorder, and some Klingon friends to play holodeck adventures with. But how come Star Fleet personnel never wear hats? I want to wear a hat too.

Me too! Although my "jammies" are what most people would consider yoga or exercise pants, plus an old t-shirt and/or sweatshirt (when it's cold).
When I go out, it's jeans and a t-shirt (or sweatshirt when it's cold - never gets too cold around here). Generally black and/or grey, I just feel more comfortable in those (non)colors.
My quirk is that a vast majority of my t-shirts say "Detroit" or something about Detroit. What can I say, I'm homesick.

As I see it, with threads like this I have three options.
1) move right along, nothing to see here. no compulsion to post. No one needs to know.
2) stretch the truth and tell people either a) what you would be wearing if you weren't a sleep deprived fashion accident or b) tell them what you would like them to think you're wearing.
3) be honest and give people a chance to laugh at your own expense.
so, seeing as the first two options are not any fun...
keep in mind I'm a bar tender at a very busy, live music venue and that it's a mere six hours since I got home from one of our busiest nights of the year. and I was tired, folks. I worked hard. so not surprisingly, I fell into bed in my work clothes.
I'm currently drinking my first cup of coffee in a blue wide-necked and baggy long tee with a black fringed scarf still somewhat haphazardly attached to my neck, a black satin bra (the kind it's okay for parts of it to show from under your shirt) a spiked leather bracelet, and fake leather pants. I managed to get the white feather earrings out and the tevas off before I went to bed. I suspect I have a trainwreck of last night's make-up on my face. No doubt I have an excellent example of bed head going on. on the bed side table next to me is my coffee, my phone, a bottle of cold medicine, cough drops, and a messy pile of cash that is my as-yet uncounted tips from last night.
oh, and a stuffed dragon.
now close your eyes and picture that for a moment. yes. you're welcome.
(In my defense - I'd normally be wearing some boring variation on a tee and running shorts for my morning coffee)

Blue shorts and blue sleeveless T-shirt. Boring but all I'm interested in is trying to stay cool in this weather. Unfortunately it would not be seemly for me to walk down the street here in Tunisia so shamefully undressed so if I go out I have to put on something more respectable ie cover my knees and preferably my shoulders too...
Unusual stuff I like to wear...most of my clothes are pretty boring really. I need a wardrobe makeover... I look longingly at the beautiful, colourful, sparkly traditional jebbas I see in the souk here and wonder if I as a foreigner would be considered very strange if I wore one. Probably...but I love the look of them. I have a secret love of sparkly bling which you would never guess by looking at what I normally wear.

Please explain -- you cannot be wearing what I (and Wikipedia) consider a sloppy joe!
(Not unless you spilled it on the cotton drill trousers.)

Thickish fleece or knit material as an outer layer. Possibly with a hood. Possibly fleecy backed. Occasionally called a windcheater but that's fairly old. Usually not open down the front but more like a jumper (sweater style) as in sense used down here.
Lots of pond differences here in terms. Fleecy backed where I've used it means brushed and fluffy, not fleece garments.
Your use of sloppy joe, which I do understand, would be met with very blank looks here.

I'm currently wearing frayed olive green shorts and one of my favorite T-shirts, a locally made random thing which has a silkscreened image of a narwhal getting abducted by an alien spaceship, captioned, "Narwhals are real." It baffles and delights me, so of course I had to have it.

Since it is technically summer, I am currently in the embroidered Chinese silk number - but I could switch back to the fleece at any moment. Which brings me to my central grievance - I want to be wearing summer clothes and my lovely new lime green Dutch sandals. But instead it will be another day of cardigans and socks and insulating trousers. Bah.

I am shortly off to the gym, so I am wearing my off white trainers with a bright gloss white streak of paint along one side of one shoe.
Black tracksuit bottoms with a white gloss paint streak down one side, and a light and dark grey T shirt with fuzzy white gloss paint on one side.
Have no idea where this paint job came from but acquired it on the first visit to the gym about one year ago.

I love original attire. This makes me a proper Parisienne (one who has her own look).
I luurrrrrve 80s retro. But you can't wear that all the time (my favouritest bit of 80s retro in my wardrobe is a hot fuschia taffeta and sequin party dress, short in the front, long in the back, with poofy great net underskirt - can't really walk down the street in it though). I also love 50s retro. It's not easy to get hold of, but when I motivate myself to make my own clothes I love 50s patterns. They are so elegant and flattering.
I actually do have jeans on today (the figure-hugging skinny kind), because it's Friday, also a pair of spangly sequin Converse sneakers and a tunic top with long sleeve black t-shirt underneath (in July! For goodness sakes!). Most of the time I have to wear more formal clothes, but the original styling remains up to a point - funky shoes, funky mittens in the winter which I keep on all day long… bit of retro. Fortunately I'm one of those people who enjoys formalwear and feels sexy and sophisticated in it. I also am a big fan of hats and would never go out without one in the winter. It's all about the styling.
My hairdresser made a comment to me about myself that I'd never really thought of, but he's right. He was trying to persuade me to get a very modern assymetric cut and I told him I wanted something more conservative (because I work in a formal environment). He said "it's funny - your clothes are really original but you never let me do anything outrageous with your hair".
Oh - and red lipstick. I also luurrrve red lipstick. Like really in your face scarlet. Actually "rouge" can be short for "rouge à lèvres" = lipstick so one possible translation of my username would be "life in lipstick" which is not entirely inappropriate.

It's Friday and the boss is away so I am wearing flared summerweight jeans, a thin rusty orange sleeveless jersey dress and a little oatmeal cardigan. After walking the dog this morning I was warm enough to plump for sandals and leave my jacket at home, how wise that decision was remains to be seen.
I am surrently in the slightly odd clothing situation of house-sitting until the beginning of August. This means I have a rather limited wardrobe available to me. Interestingly, the selection I have chosen includes a number of dresses as work outfits (including three with polka dots) and a couple of pairs of jeans for the weekends. The house-sitting with dog-walking means that I get changed when I come home (or after dinner) these days and I rather like that approach. I remember my dad coming home after work and getting changed but mostly I've just would up wearing my work clothes all evening.
I like wearing colours. To the extent that I own precisely one black dress (for funerals and graduations) but a much larger number of red ones (I think if you include the red ball dresses it gets into double figures). I can wear orange and take full advantage of this fact. I like wearing skirts and dresses and in particular full skirts with a bit of 'swoosh' - this means that work clothes can cross over into Scottish Country Dance clothes. Even my winter coat has a full skirt. I also like good structure and tailoring. In the winter I really enjoy a collared long-sleeve shirt (especially if it has cufflinks) with a jumper or waistcoat and I spent many years practically living in my great-uncle's brown velvet jacket (it's now too big, but I roll it out on occasion. I enjoy hats, headbands and hairpieces but find them difficult to style and some of them interact badly with my glasses behind my ears, leaving me with headaches. I am rarely seen without my earmuffs in the winter.
I also find that I get bored of my clothes easily and like to have a number of items in rotation. Things crop up as favourites for a little while then take a bit of a rest before I rediscover them again. Of course the reason that I fill half a wardrobe with ball dresses is partially to have a bit of variety - I prefer not to wear the same one to two dances in a row, or to the same dance two years running - but also to lend out to visiting students who didn't think to pack one when coming to Scotland for six months or a year.

I'm wearing what I wore to work yesterday (it's my day off today), blue silk shirt, purple cord trousers, and a sort of smock top/fisherman's top with big pockets that came from Nepal Bazaar (local Fairtrade clothes shop), in shades of purple.
I have worn some quite outrageous stuff - including Star Trek original series mini dress with a blue body stocking underneath, white wig and antennae (I was being an Andorian).
Next week I will be going to Hereford Historical Day, on the bus, wearing full medieval dress and carrying a basket of spinning and weaving supplies.

I couldn't be more boring, fashion-wise. it's either casual slacks or shorts and a standard, short or long sleeve button-down shirt for me, pretty much all the time. In winter, flannel shirts and blue jeans, but all pretty much the same deal. It's "casual Friday" at work today, so instead of slacks, it's shorts.

Orchid seersucker pants along with an orchid t-shirt clothes are chosen for comfort. My quirky clothes are sweat pants worn with a t-shirt well chewed by my parrot. That shirt is not worn in public. Since I'm no longer working for the Dress Code Nazis I aim for comfort.

Wonderful! We're off to Tewkesbury Medieval Festival next weekend - maybe see you en route...
Alas, I can't get into my medieval dresses anymore ![[Waterworks]](graemlins/bawling.gif) ... but at least at Tewkesbury we can pick up a dagger or three for the wall .
Most days I'm just in jeans and t-shirt, which I suppose is boring but comfy.

I am wearing what I wore to my weight-loss club: black Adidas trousers from a track suit, a navy blue t-shirt with a silk-screen graphic about a fake rowing club ( that I got at M&S in Oxford Circus the last time I was in London and BA lost one of my suitcases ), dirty white Nikes and short socks. I did take off my shoes and my heavy Seiko self-winding watch before weighing in with empty pockets.

Often just boxers - given the climate here. Or less, but I won't mention that ![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif) *. However if anyone is around, even kuruman, I am far too prudish, and go for shorts and a tee. Come the wet season tee shirts are too clinging so I go for shorts and a cotton dress-shirt - usually getting through three or four a day.
If the temperatures drop below about 25°C I swop the shorts for dress trousers. I have not ever had the need for a second layer.
*I go for air drying under a fan. Towels don't do much here. Not, repeat not a pretty sight.
