So what do you guys wear?

Me and my buddies were talking about how in the military, everyone you first meet and befriend are all done without any sort of visual prejudice.  Everyone has short hair and the same clothes, so you only relate by personality which is pretty cool, but the first time you go out together in civilians it's hilarious to see the prep, emo, slacker, surfer, and political guy all walking in a group.

So it brings me to wonder what everyone here wears.  If your not into brands, just say your not into brands or stay out of the thread.  Even in your brands target, I'm certain nobody will hate on you for what your comfortable in.

If I had to classify myself, I'd say I dress preppy.  Ralph Lauren, J Crew, Vineyard Vines, Lacoste, and Brooks Brothers is the vast majority of what I wear.  I own 3 or 4 pairs of sperry's with that, or some flipflops (its hawaii man) most of the time.

So how bout you guys?

I guess I would classify the majority of my stuff as preppy. I really don't pay a whole lot of attention to brands, I just wear stuff that I like. I wear a lot of Ralph Lauren, Hollister, and Hurley. For shoes, It's usually a pair of Nikes, Adidas, or Tims. I used to always wear a hat but since I got my hair cut, I haven't worn one. 

I've found myself liking Ralph Lauren stuff a lot, as far as shirts go. The cut of their dress shirts is a little more comfortable in the shoulders than others I have found, and I can either get the standard stuff or some different patterns in their "Chaps" line they sell at Khols and such. Also, really not that expensive, I think that paying about $3-$4 more for a button up shirt is worth it to not feel snug in the shoulders all the time.

I'm also a fan of Penguin by Munsingwear clothing. I have a few "The Earl" polos and button ups from them, all very comfy.

I never really put too much thought into pants. I have a lot of Dockers brand chinos, because they are really comfortable and a little more dressy than khakis, so I can wear them to work.

My belt is Fossil I think. I've had it for years.

As for shoes, I've yet to actually wear dress shoes to work. I've been wearing solid black Vans slip-ons, and so far nobody has noticed or said anything.

Also, I have a quite large collection of paisley neckties, which I am a big fan of. I wear them to work all the time. As a matter of fact I actually own more paisley ties than I own non-paisley ties.

I don't know what you'd call the style, but I prefer black jeans, black tennis shoes and over-sized t-shirts with smart ass sayings on them.

bullhead jeans for sure... i think they fit and look great on me.  as for shirts, threadless and other random Ts dominate my drawers.

Darkwash jeans and a polo or t-shirt. Skate shoes, or "city shoes"

Shirt: Band Tshirts, sports teams shirts, paintball company shirts. Occasionally a polo shirt.

Pants:  Cargo shorts or cargo pants. Jeans.

Shoes: DC is pretty much all I have worn for the last couple of years.

Always have a hat on my head.

I don't know what my first impression is, but I don't care.

Most of my clothes come from Kohls.  I mostly wear Bullhead jeans because I like them and Pacsun has them for a decent price.  I don't own any khakis or polos or plaid shorts.  i usually wear my vibram 5 fingers or brooks or flippy floppies on my feet. 

Beer logo t-shirts, cutoff cargo shorts, sandals, and a ball cap.
