What do you wear?(Non-cycling)

[Voodoo Sally]

Grayson, your style sounds a lot like mine, and I like it. I'm like you minus the ball cap, and with girls jeans, and in summer tight-ish t-shirts, the brighter the colors the better. I like long cargo shorts and Vans. Some small-ish earrings every day. And I'm lucky because I get to dress like this at work. And I commute to work on my bike wearing said outfits, too.

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Usually a very short swingy type skirt over black leggings or black stretch capris.
A simple pullover top (wool in winter).
Hiking shoes/boots of some type, depending on weather.

Colder.... I add a heavy wool vest, more leggings and pullover wool tops, a wool earflap hat, neck gaiter, gloves.

My every day clothes are very bike-friendly, so I don't need to change much to jump on my bike in the middle of the day to do an errand. I like that aspect.

[Kimmyt]

Most of my clothes are solids, I go for classic lines, subdued colors, etc. Not much a one for prints. Mostly blacks/gray/earth tones/dk red/burnt orange/ the occasional blue and green (which is also pretty much the colors I have in my house too).

Work: Wide leg trousers or the occasional knee length skirt. Fitted cotton shirts (hate anything that comes up too high on my neck) or thin fitted wool sweaters. The occasional fun shirt, usually tunic-length or my one white silk blouse I have and love (most of the time I don't do blouses at all), usually leather euro-style flats (like born) or the occasional small-heeled mary jane . i do have a pair of high heeled boots I like to wear with skirts.

Home and running errands, etc.: boot cut jeans, tend to be darker wash, fitted tee shirts or tank tops, whatever shoes i can find but usually slip on flats or sandals if it's cooler out

slobby slobby me: knee length hiking shorts, tevas/flops, tank tops or whatev.

No jewelry except the rare artisan piece with big funky stones. and my e-ring. Don't usually carry a purse, but when I do it's usually large enough to carry lots of stuff including a book/camera or more

No makeup, no shaved legs

Except when I get dressed up. I can glam it up for realz. For my New Years party last year I wore a Elie Tahari LBD with silver rhinestone stilletos. Mrowr!

I guess basically I am multiple people in one closet??

[arielmoon]

Work: Casual pants or jeans. Knit tops, I dont do blouses or anything that needs ironing. Sandals in summer, dansko's in winter.

Play: Jeans (low rise flare or boot cut) or neutral color shorts, Fitted T-s and tank tops, flip flops almost all year round.

Party: I own some really cute dresses and I do love to put on some heels for a few hours just for fun

Makeup: Minimal. Eye liner, mascara, foundation and powder.

Colors: Black, brown, burgandy, purple, white, some pink. I have exactly one item of clothing that is red- a dress I got for a Christmas party.

Jewelry: Cubic Z studs and a cheap silver watch from Target. Some shiny earings for dress up.

Hair: Scrunched and down for work, pony tail or bun for the barn.

I'm not a style chick as you'll tell by what I wear outside of work..

I'm normally in shorts & a t-shirt (even when it's a bit coolish outside) or jeans. Ball cap!

I like sports shorts & comfy shirts in black, blue or white. I don't do brands..

I have a pair of running shoes, sandals, birkies for work & some sort of heel type shoe for outings.

For work..Ok, I discovered Eddie Bauer's short sleeved blouses when we visted Canuckland earlier this year. A couple of skirts but no particular brand.

I don't do makeup.

I definitely do enjoy fashion. I'm a student so I wear a lot of sweats and lululemon stuff. I love hoodies, but I do have a couple of jeans that I love. I also like some vintage sweater pieces (Preloved, which is made in Toronto). Id say that I have a casual style but I do like dressing up too.

[malkin]

Work: jeans and a shirt: washable (art supplies and body fluids may fly)
a handy sweatshirt (HVAC at school is random)
ugly and indestructable glasses (I want really ugly ones--horn rims a la 1965, but can't find them, so for now I have generic wire ugly sturdy ones)
shoes: must be soft: trying to be eye-to-eye with small people sometimes I kneel. My knees and ankles protest this behavior. *alas*

I wonder how long until black stirrup pants are fashionable again.

[Kvixen23]

I wear sweatpants, a t-shirt and tennis shoes to work. At home I change into a tanktop and flops but keep the sweats. Some of my sweats are cute b/c they show off my hiney the others are just plain cozy and I don't care to impress anyone while I'm playing in the floor with snot nosed, gooey eyed, slobbering infants and toddlers (I love being payed to play all day!!).

Colors: gray, black, brown, blue (for sweats & tanks)
Shoes: Oh I have soooo many....tennis shoes, open back clogs, carpet bag shoes (f/sketchers, they look like a carpet bag on my feet ), and boots in winter
T-shirts: the free one's I get when I sign up in time for a sponsored bike ride

If I'm dressing up, I put on jeans, Levis, loose and comfy but they still show off my hiney!! I only wear makeup on halloween and some days I comb my hair.

If having no style means I'm comfy, I love my 'no style'!!!!!

[Zen]

ETA: Most of my clothes these days are covered with a thin layer of yellow dog hair.

I wear that designer too

ugly and indestructable glasses (I want really ugly ones--horn rims a la 1965, but can't find them, so for now I have generic wire ugly sturdy ones)

Maybe flea market or antique store?

They're always good when you're wearing boots. But with flats? No.
I'm waiting for saddle shoes to come back

[malkin]

Saddle shoes are so far out they're in.


I checked secondary market for horn rims...they're kinda fragile-like. I have to write fan mail to the Mythbuster Adam and get glasses like his. They have to be impact resistant!

[indysteel]

I have several different clothes personalities. For work, I have to get dressed up to some degree but I generally hate suits. I prefer knee-length skirts. In summer, I wear them with sleeveless tops and sandles. In winter, with sweaters, tights and high heel boots. I have some nice pants as well, but it's rare that I find pants that fit really well I also like scarves and chunky bracelets. I have a few necklaces but otherwise don't wear much jewelry.

Outside of work, I wear shorts and tees in summer (think Columbia Sportwear meets Life is Good). Flip flops or Keen Mary Janes. In winter, it's Gap jeans and J. Crew sweaters or LL Bean fleece. Dansko clogs or Keen sandles with wool socks.

Almost everything I own is solid colored. I don't like most prints. I wear my hair long it's kind of high maintenance. I like makeup and a bit of perfume. I'm not a total girly girl but I'm close.

[Meaux]

Work: I've started doing sort of a feminine menswear kind of thing lately. I started a new job seven months ago that requires me to dress up so I am having fun with it. (My last job was t-shirt and jeans.) I always wear heels to work too. I am looking forward to wearing a chef's coat and stretchy pants every day someday soon.

Home: T-shirt or cute top and jeans (flared or bootcut). I'm pretty low maintenance at home and outside of work. Reef flip flops or my bright orange Bistro Crocs.

I wear makeup VERY rarely. I have a couple of rings that I wear on a regular basis and I wear my nose ring when I'm not at work.

[jobob]

Question, what is a mary jane type sandal?

These - I probably didn't describe them well:

They are soooo comfy.

[Crankin]

I have many clothing personalities. I mostly wore skirts and sweaters or some type of t shirt/ fitted blouse to work. Tailored, preppy wool pants in solids (think J Crew or Banana Republic). I wear a lot of black and grey, with brights on the top once in awhile. I like dresses, too, but right now the styles don't thrill me. My skirts are shorter, above the knee; I stopped wearing long skirts about 5 years ago. I like pants to be "tasteful" low rise... can't stand anything on my waist anymore. I used to wear suits to work in the eighties, when I taught high school. I have a couple of suits now, but they are more "unconstructed" and I wear them more for social things/holidays.
At home, when I go to class now, I wear jeans or cords with same above tops. I also wear my "work" clothes to class sometimes. In the summer I live in capri pants and long shorts and t shirts, with a few mini skirts.
As far as shoes go, I love heels, but I can't wear really high ones anymore. I have some really funky flat, sneaker alternatives I wear with some jeans and capris and some Danskos, which I can't believe I have (not really my style, but I am walking in the city more now). My dress shoes are all low heeled variations of Nyots, some mary janes, classic pumps. I have a pair of heeled boots which are short, which I wear a lot at this time of year.
When I am going to work or somewhere where I need to look "dressed" and it's snowy out, I wear my Merrell Mocs and take a pair of shoes to change into. I know people wear these all day, but they look like snow boots to me and they are not that comfortable, either, after 8 hours.
I wear make up. Yes,it's true. Blush, eye shadow, lipstick, and mascara. Although, as long as my dark circles are covered, I go out with just lipstick on. I feel absolutely naked without lipstick.
I love to get dressed up, but although I go out a lot, I only get really dressed up a few times a year.

[ridebikeme]

Grayson, you described my clothing tastes exactly! Although the 501's have now changed to 550's HA! I do wear sweats and nylon warm up pants quite a bit while I'm home, and I will wear Carharts along with the Levi's and cargo pants.When it's cool outside, I'll also often wear a fleece vest.

When I need to dress up abit, I'll add a sweater or change the type of shirt that I'm wearing. I really dislike button up shirts, so I own a few but not very many.

AS for jewelry, a silver Native American bracelet, earrings, and a watch.

And lots of ball caps... anything related to bikes, and of course the Tennessee Lady Vols hat as well

Fun post!!
