I'm not too bothered with my appearance. However, I will occasionally wear a T-shirt and jeans, depending on the weather.

Like Aidan, I too am not too worried about my appearance, although I do wear AE and Aeropsotale quite often. I'm usually pretty laid-back in everyday wear as I usually prefer to wear whatever I feel comfortable in.

Steampunk get-togethers sound pretty fun. Man, I could put together the perfect outfit for one of those. Whenever you make it over to this side of the Pond, drop by Atlanta or Athens (Georgia, not Greece), and we'll welcome you with open arms! (Heck, you and my stepdad could probably start a whole franchise for Time Lord Chic!)

I don't know, what I wear certainly doesn't connect with what I listen to. Subcultures aren't really a thing that bothers me - I always think that subcultures are just another kind of conformity. I quite like dressing in ways that deliberately annoy or freak people out. I love fancy dress parties for that very reason - you get the weirdest looks on the walk home when you're wearing big boots, a plastic machine gun and a nurse's uniform. Slightly childish, I know, but what the hey, you only live once.

Although I think Gothic looks cool, I don't wear it.
I would say I put some effort into my appearance unless I'm visiting my parents, but I don't spend lavishly. Most of my clothes are from Op-shops and K-Mart.
I do like to have blue hair though. I don't at the moment because my hair was getting horrible from constant dying and bleaching, but I might again soon.

The great thing about London is that you've got a lot of vintage shops and clothing markets - I've had to restrict myself in my visits to Camden, because I always end up spending a ton of money on cravats.

I mostly dress in jumpers, shirts, a duffle coat and a flat cap but I ticked "gothic" because I listen to a lot of epic, black and symphonic metal. Think of me as a goth who doesnt dress like a goth. Enjoy wearing a suit when I get the excuse too.

Definately not enormously fussed about my appearance to be honest, as it would make the choice question impossible to answer otherwise. Usually, I treat myself to polo shirts and V-Neck Jerseys for use at my new work placement at Sheffield University's Health Sciences Library. These are more of a smart-casual scenario, not surprising when you consider how much dust is coughed up in a library network. Not much else to mention right off the top of my head right this minute. Although, I must admit, I'd gladly wear a suit with a top hat and kilt given the chance to do so. Top hats have always struck me as being very delightful-looking things, which does pose the question of why the Edwardians practically blasted them out of fashion. As for kilts, I'm practically related to Scotland and, although I've only worn a kilt once, I loved the experience to bits. Therefore, if I ever marry, it's one of the first things I'd consider wearing. Warm Regards As Always, MRHloco

I never was into fashion trends, and I don't have any fashion sense. And...I don't really know what most of those mean, so I voted "not bothered". I hate shopping for clothes, so I usually bring some of my female friends along with me whenever I go. I do this because one, they know what looks good on men, and two, they're amazing bargain hunters. I like to buy a lot of clothes at once so I don't have to go back any time soon. More often than not, you'll find me wearing a collar shirt and jeans. I like my clothes to be comfortable. And as far as shoes go...I like New Balance for some reason. They're just really comfortable to me. I tend to completely wear out a pair of shoes before I buy new ones. Concerning my hair, I keep it short enough so I don't have to bother with it. If it gets too long it's unmanageable. I've also been growing a beard as of late (Mainly because several girls said I look good with facial hair, but I digress. ), and I try to keep it as neat as possible. I like the way I look when I dress up for a special occasion, but I'm never very comfortable in a suit or a tux or anything "upscale" like that. Anyway, that's me. Average Joe.

I've never been interested in the way I look. Clothing has always been about 1 thing- comfort. If it's comfortable, I wear it. This comfort follows me to the point that I have clothes that I wear at home, and outside. When I'm outside, I wear khaki pants, button-down shirts (either short or long sleeve), and black sneakers (preferably all black but if not than dark colors only). I never wear short pants because they make me feel top-heavy. It's a weird thing that I have, but I can't stand the feeling that I have on more fabric above the waist. I know my casual clothes seem a bit formal, but it's just what I'm most comfortable in. At home, I only wear sweat-pants and an oversized T-shirt (short or long sleeve). Again, comfort is the word. As far as hairstyle, I started losing my hair when I was a teenager, so I've taken to buzz-cutting my hair at home at the beginning of every month. It lowers the appearance of being bald, and it's such low maintenance, too.
