What's your 'uniform'?

[Blue Velvet]

A friend of mine and I are always joking about each others 'uniforms' i.e. the clothes we're almost always seen in.

If I knocked on your door at any time during the day, would you be most likely to be wearing?

Do you have any signature items like certain sneakers, Tshirts, hats, shades, etc?

I'm usually wearing black... or dark colours like grey or dark red, almost always in black trousers and black heels or sandals. I always tend to gravitate towards the same kind of clothes... You'd never see me in a floral print skirt... :D

[skunk]

Sarong and flip-flops, if that. :p

[PlaceofDis]

at home? shirtless and shorts usually.
out n about? tshirt and jeans. dark colors. dark jeans. black shirts. sometimes red. grey.

[Turkish]

Jeans and a t-shirt - even at work.

If I'm out, probably a pair of Birkenstocks or Keens.

[Blue Velvet]

Sarong and flip-flops, if that. :p

What sarong with that? :D
Hope we'll see a fab one in a few weeks time. :)

[psycoswimmer]

Well during the summer, khaki cargo shorts and a t-shirt from somewhere like A&F. Nike sneakers, except I'm getting K-Swiss ones soon. My Nike's are destroyed. :o

[annk]

Something pretty neutral as far as color goes, and often as not purchased second hand.

[mcarnes]

Nude most of the time, with an occasional thong if I'm feeling vulnerable.

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

<-- Guess...

;)

[MLeepson]

I'm almost always wearing or carrying around my Pratt Institute black hoodie. That and my slip-on Vans.

[dcv]

Almost always in boots of some sort, unless it's really hot.

[devilot]

A hooded sweatshirt. :o I've easily got 15 pullover hoodies. If you include zip-ups, I've got quite a few more than that. :D

[Dagless]

mostly earthy colours, dull green, dull brown :D with a pair of 501's

And a hat of some sort when my hairs too long :(

[iSaint]

t-shirt and shorts. My birks have blown out, however. I've been wearing boat shoes (Sperry's)

[Queso]

Checked shirt and jeans mostly, but at least it beats a dressing gown :)

[puckhead193]

something abercrombie or hollister :cool:

[leekohler]

T-shirt and jeans- almost always H&M. I'm cheap when it comes to clothes.

[TheAnswer]

Usually jeans and a black or grey t-shirt outside, sweats and a t-shirt inside. Boardshorts on the occasion that it's hot enough.

[Killyp]

Zipped cream & blue hoody, black jeans & vans. And the understuff but we won't go into that :o

[Cassie]

Jeans and a spaghetti strap shirt.

[AdeFowler]

Jeans and teeshirt in the summer
Jeans and big wooly jumpers in the winter.

[nickster9224]

when its warm almost alway boardshorts flipflops anda tshirt BTW almost all my clothes are from zumiez and or pacsun

[mikemodena]

khaki shorts
american eagle hat
black puma shoes
aero/ae type tshirt

[Jasonbot]

Black jeans, Korn shirt, converse shoes.

[yg17]

shorts and a polo or button down shirt, I'm not a huge fan of t-shirts. If it's early in the morning or late at night, I might just have a white undershirt on. I'm barefoot unless I'm going somewhere. I hate wearing shoes.

[mrkramer]

either jeans or khaki shorts and a t-shirt, unless it is cold, when I will have some sort of jacket on.

[gauchogolfer]

I'd say you're likely to see me in something from Banana Republic or Express. I usually dress pretty nicely, in pants and a long sleeve button-up shirt. I guess my time in France modified my habits. ;)

[xsedrinam]

Knock on door at Home: Caribbean slacks or jeans, Sette Ponti or Crazy Horse T-shirts on warm days, J. Ferrar or Island Republic sweaters on cold days, and Rockports.

Knock on door at Work: I'm a suit.....and I'd rather take a whoopin' than to have to put them on.

[Alt10]

Low hanging jeans,
t-shirt with funny text (example: Hairy Pornstar in the font of Harry Potter), hooded sweather,
Osiris shoes
and always a backpack... :)

[Jaffa Cake]

Jeans and a t-shirt are my 'civvies' – my feet are either shod in a pair of Doc Martens boots, or a pair of plimmies if it's a bit on the warmer side. I tend to wear darker colours, too – I look a bit odd if I've got too much bright stuff on. :o

[LethalWolfe]

Black concert t-shirt, black jeans, black boots. Or. Black concert t-shirt, blue jeans, Sambas (http://www.karstadt.de/dbimages/sp/067/06782/0678200023_d.jpg).


-Lethal

[iBookG4user]

Blue t-shirt and grey shorts most of the time.

[rockthecasbah]

For shirts usually sport a polo collar not "popped" and semi-tightly to snugly fitting from American Eagle (though I have one for H&M), collared shirt (from H&M or sometimes Gap), or a tee shirt i generally bought online from a store like bustedtees.com.

For bottoms i am almost always in tightish jeans (not hard to get into or too exposing, just ones more tapered and "slim fitting").

With footwear I have two options: when it is cool I wear sneakers (black adidas sambas or Brown Asics Onizuka Tigers). When it basically 50 and above i'll usually throw on my pair of leather flip flops from AE.

That's about it. I guess I could add that I wear glasses :p

[mattscott306]

During the summer my shirt and pants/shorts selections very greatly. During the winter months though I'm almost always in a button down shirt and jeans.

However, no matter what the weather outside is I'm always wearing a pair of flipflops, or birkenstocks.

[edesignuk]

Plain coloured t-shirt and jeans or combats, failing that, nothing.

[mattscott306]

or combats

That British for Camouflage?

[edesignuk]

That British for Camouflage?I've consulted the yank of the house (wifey), they go by "cargo pants" ;)

[steamboat26]

quiksilver or yankees t shirt
mesh or cargo shorts almost year round
nike shoes, rarely sandles

[biturbomunkie]

wife beater + jeans/shorts, a light-weight jacket w/ hoodie or a causal sports coat if it get a little chilly.

[EricNau]

Winter = Jeans & Sweatshirt or Jacket.

Summer = Jeans or Shorts & T-Shirt (or sometimes a button-down, collared shirt if the occasion calls for it).

...and always a shoe of some type: never sandals/flipflops.

[Blue Velvet]

wife beater

What's that? In the UK, that's slang for Stella Artois — the beer.

[mattscott306]

What's that? In the UK, that's slang for Stella Artois — the beer.

It's a male tank top
http://www.truthaboutduke.com/shav_wife.jpg

Slang for what you'd see a far drunk guy who hits his wife and lays on the couch when he's not beating her, weaing.

[FrankBlack]

I've got some Levi's that I think might be older than some of the members here.

At home: New Balance 991's, T-shirt or sport jersey, the aforementioned Levi's. Summer brings out the cargo type shorts.

On the job: pretty much the same thing. My place of biz is pretty informal. Some of the old timers who have been there since the 60's and 70's still do the "white shirt and tie every day" thing though. Alas, their numbers are dwindling a little more each year. Time always wins.

[Mord]

These days:

I'm generally seen in a pair of vans, 38" leg long tall sally jeans, black tshirt/black medium cut top and a half denim black jacket.

[mpw]

...If I knocked on your door at any time during the day, would you be most likely to be wearing?...

I have a shocking wardrobe, so all I can guarantee I'll be wearing is a welcoming smile. Good timing btw as I was going to post a wardrobe related thread this evening too (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=3773194#post3773194).

[puckhead193]

However, no matter what the weather outside is I'm always wearing a pair of flipflops, or birkenstocks.

I <3 my birks :D

[Legolamb]

In the summer, black or white spaghetti strap dresses from Banana Republic and a sweater (a/c is freezing); in the winter, jeans and either a T, camisole and shirt, and hoodie (mostly my Emily Strange black one, or assorted grey ones).

[joepunk]

You will never see me wearing jeans. Haven't since elementary school.

Usually I wear a t-shirt and those zip-off pants/shorts combo. My shirts comprise of independent/local bands, disney, themed design, etc.

I do wear some nice dressy shirts and pants once and a while

My signature thing to have on are pins or badges as a friend calls them. They are mostly on my backpack/messenanger bags and on my light black jacket and Sasquatch track jacket.

[ibook30]

Knock on my door and find me in "My Uniform" -
Button down shirt that's not buttoned well
Jeans or ruffled slacks
Sometimes shoes and socks
Confused look on face
Copy of an old Irvine Welsh novel in my hand

Also a fan of Andrea Zittel (http://www.pbs.org/art21/artists/zittel/card2.html)'s take on uniforms. Even Better Zittel - link (http://www.zittel.org/)

[TequilaBoobs]

in the summer when im not in school i teach jujitsu, so i wear a gi which is a jujitsu uniform. sometimes i add 10 lbs of sweat to the uniform. i know, what a tasty image...
when i was playing judo competitively i used to go through gi's every other year. the uniform is one of the best ways to choke your opponent, by pulling it tight over an exposed neck. at the very least, you will give your opponent a nasty red mark on the neck.

[wmmk]

I never wear name brand stuff, very often am seen in long sleeve shirts, wear jeans or khaki shorts if it's hot, beaten up Asics running shoes.
Occasionally a suit for Orchestra or Debate stuff. Lol.

Its too late for gramar, btw. to bed with my tired brain.

[latergator116]

You will never see me wearing jeans. Haven't since elementary school.

Me neither. For some reason I find them to be very uncomfortable - even in the winter. I usually wear light cotton pants or cargo pants.

[OutThere]

summertime: shorts and a tshirt or polo, red sox hat, leather flip flops

winter: khakis or jeans, fleece and a knit winter hat

I'll sometimes wear an oxford instead of a polo or tshirt, when I'm feeling fancy.

[kretzy]

I pretty much live in jeans unless I'm at work or at something formal. In summer I just wear a t-shirt/polo with them, in winter usually some kind of jumper (which lately are all stripey).

[iris_failsafe]

jeans, black snickers and a white shirt plus a dark jacket (either blue, grsy or black)

[iBlue]

I'm not that interesting of a dresser but I can't seem to pin down only one or two things to answer this with. I replied in the other™ thread but only because the answer was absolute.

I don't know whether to feel pity or envy for those who can so effortlessly narrow this down. This explains why I stare into the closet for so long. :o

[XIII]

If its not too warm I'll almost always wear a v neck black jumper. :o With whatever I am wearing usually.

[mad jew]

Thongs. I love thongs (flip flops).

[ErikCLDR]

Almost always a Polo Shirt. Infact my friend jokes I can't go a day without wearing a collared shirt.

I also always wear flip flops when I can. Who wants to have sweaty disgusting feet all day, especially in the summer?

I am not a huge fan of jeans, but I do own them.

[ezzie]

spring/summer:
usually you'll find me in my giant black sandals from Target. i bought them 3 years ago off their clearance rack for $12, and i've been wearing them ever since. i am 3.5 inches taller when i'm wearing them. since i wear them pretty much every day when it's warm out, they're starting to fall apart...and that makes me sad.
aside from the sandals, i'm usually in a crazy skirt and a black tee. yeah, it's a little boring, but i spice things up with accessories. ;)

fall/winter:
you'll find me in jeans, a printed tee, a black cardigan, and my fuzzy black velcro Rocket Dog shoes. again, very boring, but usually the tees are pretty odd/interesting.

[siurpeeman]

slacks and a t-shirt. footwear alternates from flip flops to vans to dressy shoes. i like black pants with a blue shirt.

[GroundLoop]

All I ever wear is my "Free Hugs" sign.

;)

[Edandlindz28]

You can always find me in a quicksilver T-shirt and cargo pants or shorts and reefs.

[nbs2]

At work? Black slacks, my 9 year old Doc Martens and:
Monday: light blue shirt with crossing pinstripes
Tuesday: medium blue checkered shirt
Wednesday: light blue shirt
Thursday: dark blue shirt

For Friday, in the summer I wear jeans and my brown polo, while in the winter I wear jeans and a black waffle knit T (http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=24887&pid=484940) from the Gap (which is funny, since generally I detest the store)

For outside, in the summer I wear pretty much anything with short sleeves. Jeans, shorts, shoes, flip-flops are all dependant on the weather. In the winter, I wear what I would wear to work on Fridays. The only variation I have in the winter is that I have that waffle T in orange, red, black, blue, yellow, black, green, and black. The wife made me get the variety of colors.

[iKwick7]

Since I work everyday, that's what you will usually see me in. Although it's not required, I always dress up for work- dress pants and a nice shirt, nice shoes, and one of my many watches.

Once I get home it's jeans and a t-shirt, even in the summer - I'm not big on shorts.

[Henri Gaudier]

Daytime. SS Officer's Uniform & a cat-o-nine-tail.

After 6 pm - just the hat and a big glass of iced Pastis. :)

[Lunja]

Never see me without my Adidas Superstars. <Issac Hayes> Ahhh yeeeaaah </Issac Hayes> :cool:

You know exactly what you're gonna wear every day of the week?

Wow...

[nbs2]

You know exactly what you're gonna wear every day of the week?

Wow...

I really like my routine. It makes the week go by a bit quicker, it helps me remember what day of the week it is, and I never have to think about what I'm wearing. And, it really minimizes my closet space, since I don't have much that I wear.

The wife says I'm too particular, I say I'm too lazy to care. :)

[cycocelica]

Khaki shorts and a shirt from Digital Gravel (www.digitalgravel.com). Reef sandals or Nike Dunks usually accompany.

this actually made me laugh. it's funny; you could be looking at photos of yourself and instantly know what day of the week it was.

[2nyRiggz]

Dark blue all around(plain T and jeans) and a NYC hat.

[takao]

tshirts: mostly black or red/orange colored but some ohers as well but nearly all hame some sort written on it so hardly no uni colored ones
trousers: jeans / khaki shorts at home
shoes: grey globes or green-brown/black vans, at home only socks
black or dark blue socks

[Cindynjgirl79]

black t-shirts all the time, jeans and the best sneakers in the world chuck's

now in the winter time shoes change to dr. martin's and a hoddie is added.

[BoyBach]

Flip flops and boardies/jeans.

[Blue Velvet]

Speaking of uniforms, we all know here that Steve Jobs also has a uniform...

...but here's your chance to change all of that.

[jknight8907]

Wed-Thur: T-shirt, jeans, boxers, steel toe boots, hard hat, tool belt, safety harness, socks, safety glasses, earplugs, sometimes gloves if we're doing steel

Mon & Tues: Shorts, tshirt, flipflops

I laughed ridiculously loud when I tried to change Steve's shirt, and saw what was beneath his mock turtleneck.

As far as my uniform, I have two:

Work:
Suit and tie.
Watch.

Home/Hanging out
American Apparel 2001 - Black 75% of the time.
Levi 527 jeans, super dark denim.
Some pair of Pumas.
Watch.

[Poeben]

Black jeans, black tee shirt 95% of the time. Every now and then I might throw a grey shirt on instead. When I go to the beach I leave the black at home.

[nickster9224]

Khaki shorts and a shirt from Digital Gravel (www.digitalgravel.com). Reef sandals or Nike Dunks usually accompany.

what reef sandals do you have, i got the ones you can put drinks in

[mactastic]

Well lets see... When I'm not at work I'm usually found in shorts and a tee shirt, unless I'm going out somewhere. Then I'll throw a shirt over a white tee. Flip flops, my Merrells, or my Docs depending. Sometimes even my hiking boots if I'm gonna be on a trail all day.

For work it varies drastically depending. Slacks, shoes, shirt, tie, jacket -- the whole nine yards if I'm meeting with a client or potential client. Jeans and a halfway decent shirt and Docs or Merrells if I'm going to be walking a job site with a Contractor. I learned the hard way not to wear black slacks to a job site.

I used to be a "jeans and tee shirt" kind of guy pretty much exclusively, but the wife has encouraged me to expand my wardrobe, and work has required some nicer dress. I guess I don't really have a "uniform" anymore.

[Counterfit]

I call this (http://www.megagear.com/product_p/mt%2001-1012.htm) my Monday shirt.

[Silencio]

I think it was almost ten years ago that I coined the phrase "The Uniform" to denote the standard male business casual dress of light blue oxford shirt and tan khakis. (See the Steve Ballmer videos for the most appalling example thereof.)

Me? Well, I try to change it up a lot. However, my go-to casual mode of dress is:

Baby blue t-shirt, either a plain l/s or s/s with interesting print
Dark blue jeans
Black suede Adidas Gazelles or brown casual shoes (Kenneth Cole Reaction or Unlisted, usually)

For the dress casual look:
Nice dress shirt or v-neck sweater, either a good solid color or interesting striped pattern
Grey slacks
Black dress shoes

I used to just wear black, black, and more black. Now I typically reserve the black for my jacket, shoes, or occasional t-shirt. Wouldn't mind finding a good pair of black jeans again, or some slim-fitting black trousers.

My feelings on jeans are conflicted: I love how comfortable and versatile they are, but it drives me nuts when I go out and notice that everyone else is wearing blue jeans as well! Seeing row upon row of semi-faded blue legs on the bus is kind of... depressing, actually.

[wongulous]

I have to wear a grey security shirt with a big logo emblazoning the arm, security badge, security-logo-emblazoned belt, and black baggy cargo pants (technical pants), and then black shoes. I'm supposed to wear black combat boots, but that's retarded. I just wear some comfortable Borns. But that's M-F.

[jayb2000]

SHOES:
Summer - Reef flip-flops (thongs). These have a bottle opener built into the sole, very handy for parties.

Winter - Something like this from Lowa
http://www.aliceswonderland.com/images/LowaRenegMid06.gif

Some form of non-denim shorts and either a t-shirt or short sleeve button down shirt.
Somethign like this:

Fridays I wear this shirt:

What is RTFM?

RTFM is not having to say you are sorry. RTFM is a big chromatic dragon with bloodshot beady eyes and fangs the size of oars. RTFM is me screaming at you as fireballs come out of my mouth to get off your precious no-good tush, march down to the local bookstore or MAN page repository, and get the eff off my back because I'm trying very hard to get some freakin' work done. Jeez.

[Cassie]

Me neither. For some reason I find them to be very uncomfortable - even in the winter. I usually wear light cotton pants or cargo pants.

I refuse to weat anything other then jeans. Shorts make me feel too exposed, and anything else is just too flimsy or "flashy"

[Bogan Dude]

I live in this basically:

http://www.justjeans.com.au/Images/Catalog/ProductImages/019523_d.jpg

I live in tight black Levis, or blue Levis. But jeans have to be Levis.

http://www.teamworkapparel.com.au/images/jackets/jackets-01JO_figure.JPG

Black bomber jacket.

http://www.charmandising.com/images/_PRODUCT/MET0608.jpg

And a black metal shirt. Normally either Metallica or Pantera.

I like black.

[esco]

My clothes revolve around Hollister shorts, Banana Republic T-Shirts (plain white, plain black, or a dark gray), adidas socks, and pumas

[tyranna]

wow, as embarrassing as it might be, i'm going to publically admit that my favorite (and most heavily worn) uniform has got to be..........

I have been wearing the exact same thing since 8th grade and i am now a freshman in college. :rolleyes: khakis with these solid colored shirts i bought 5 years ago. it's kind of sad, but i really dont give a damn. i just wear a different color everyday. hahaha.

[synth3tik]

A short sleeve button down with generic Asian Characters on them, Black jeans (some times blue) and my ratty shoes. (have to wear building shoes at work so I never care about shoes).

In the winter you can find me rocking that look with a hoodie thrown over it.

Rolex watch but it's fake
Gold gazelle glasses and a platinum chain
