Your Clothes

Be honest, and post what types of clothes you wear the most... not just what you show us.
I wear jeans, cargo pants, T's & western shirts, blazers.
Doc's, cowboy boots (ostrich) and a lot of flip-flops. I wear a lot of different hats, driving caps, cowboy hats & fedoras.

Blue jeans, long sleeve cotton shirt, wool blend socks, casual shoes. Carhartt's jacket, logo ball cap (DaughterofV's college). Leatherman, Buck Crosslock, Winchester Stockman, Zippo, BlackBerry, Casio, keys. Pen, paper, USB drives, a little folding money.

Accessories are key.

I wear the same to work as I do the rest of the time. I am lucky that way I guess. Sometimes I dress up: skirt, nice shirt, jewelry, lipstick etc. to totally dressed down: running pants and a comfortable worn race T or sweatshirt, ponytail, no makeup. Depends on my mood. Usually I am dressed in-between in jeans/shorts and a nice T-shirt or sweater though.

When shopping, before I even look in the mirror when I try something on, if I'm not comfortable in it, it's not going in my closet. If it's comfy and cute on, then I check the pricetag. If I can afford it, and it fits the first 2 criteria, it be mine. I currently have multiples of items I really like in different colors.

I never ever ever buy or wear uncomfortable shoes, no matter how cute they are. I am on my feet way too much.

Jeans and t's. I don't want to have sex with people for whom clothes is an important factor. Unless they're buying.

In warm weather, cropped pants or sometimes a knee-length skirt, leather sandals, and a blouse of some sort. Only time I wear t-shirts and sneakers is when I'm moving stuff or painting.

In cool weather, long pants or jeans, and a long-sleeved shirt and/or sweater. Mules or clogs with trouser socks if it's not too cold; boots with thick socks if it is. On Sundays, my Eagles sweatshirt, jeans, and sneakers.

In the summer I wear a lot of skirts and casual dresses for comfort, and they look nice. This summer, my neighbor gave me some of her outgrown scrubs and I LOVE the scrub pants with a tee. VERY comfortable.
Love sandals.
Winter fare is jeans and button up shirts or pullover sweaters.

I don't work, so clothing is strictly utilitarian or comfort.
I have a houseful of kitties (cat hair) so we don't dress up until just before we go out. I also have a horse, so most horse activities include boots, jeans and horse-snot-tops. (those are tops I don't mind getting a horse sneeze on)

Cargo pants, never shorts... tight as I can get them and still be cargo pants. I need the pocketroom. And band shirts. Every day. Currently, it's Queen.

A proper shirt, but always blue.

when visiting clients sometimes a tie and usually a pair of grey slacks and a blazer.

Otherwise, cargos' and a cord or grey-denim blouse-jacket.

But, NEVER, blue denims...

One advantage of being a software engineer is that I have an indoor job that doesn't require suit and tie.

Work: In winter it's a long sleeve colored or patterned dress shirt and jeans, sweatshirt or sweater as necessary. In summer it's polo and jeans. I could wear shorts, but they keep the air turned up.

Home: Pretty much the same except with shorts in the summer.

I can't answer the question honestly as the lines are blurred. If I'm going out I can dress to look and feel my best in clothes I hope will get me laid

Or at least suggest to an intelligent and witty man that I'd be worth talking to - the rest is down to personality.

Also depends on (fluctuating) weight as to what parts of me need to be casually draped and which parts can bear closer scrutiny!

My favourite clothing would probably be a wrap over dress - kind on the stomach, shows curves and calves and reveals a wicked cleavage. But you'd be more likely to find me in whatever was clean on a given day!
