Well, I dress in pretty plain nice clothes.
I have the best pair of shorts ever made. They are A&F (actually a pretty unknown brand down here), and are navy blue with cream stripes down the side, and they're made out of weird material thats water proof and crease proof. They come with mesh undies built in, and it has large pockets. They are the most comfortable shorts in the world, and I where them everywhere. I where them to bed as PJ's, To school (They pass as uniform! :D ), at home, and in the pool. I truly love them!
I want more of them so I have a set for when they're in the wash.
On the average... pants of the raver variety. I'm not much of a raver in the farthest stretch of the imagination, but some of these Kikwear pants and jeans are just oo damn comfy. Plus I have big ass feet, so the large ankles make my feet look smaller. Size 13 if anyone wants to know. Its not too big, but when you have skinny ass chicken legs such as mine, you look a bit like a clown when wearing shorts.
Shirts are almost always long sleeve. Bannana Republic and Kenneth Cole. They both have shirts that are long sleeve, comfy and plain. And I usually can find them on clearance.
Boxers. Always Boxers.
Long black sox, cotton.
Belt, a seat belt from a GM car.
Shoes, usually my black etnies low cut.
Nail polish. Currently silver, with blue on one finger.
I guess that about it. I do stray from that basic formula, but thats par for the course.

Besides the Gap, I have never been in a Banana Republic, J Crew, or similar store, except for the time I walked into a Structure in the mall. I am not up on what kind of merchandise they sell, and I am certainly not conscious of what the differences between them are.
I wear 100%-cotton, long-sleeved shirts with a straight or spread collar in one of the following colors (never, ever white): light green, light brown, gray, pink/lilac, yellow, and, sometimes, blue. I wear a matching necktie with a modern conservative pattern of no more than three colors. I do not wear loud or funny ties (e.g., chili peppers, comic book characters), but I do have some brightly colored ties that are monochrome or have small patterns.
My pants are gray, blue, brown, or green, with a dress-cut, pleated front, and cuffs. With my gray or blue slacks, I wear a black shoe/belt combo. With brown or green pants, I wear brown shoes and a brown belt.
I do not change out of my clothes until I go to bed, but I do dress a bit more casually on the weekends, only to avoid conversations about why I am wearing a tie.
I do not wear T-shirts with logos. I do not own shorts or sneakers. Yes, I wore dressy shoes to E3.
I do not recommend my mode of dress to those who hate ironing and polishing - unless you have a valet.
Here's what I'm wearing right now:
- T-shirt (GI Joe Cobra logo)
- Tan long-sleeve button up shirt
- Cutoff-at-the-shin khaki cargo 'shants'
- One black bracelet on left wrist; three brown bracelets on right wrist
Footwear: Either black Vans with floppy tongues, or brown Rockport boots.
That's basically the style I usually wear.
I used to wear hats all the time when I was younger. Maybe I'll start again if I can find an old school Detroit Tigers 'gothic D' logo hat.
Well, since it's summer, I like Lacoste polos. I wear those, a lot. I have a few good Paul Stuart shirts that are similar, but slightly different, zip-up fronts, things like that, and they're usually made out of better summer materials like sea island cotton. I've got a good linen button-down, some other sea island button-downs, mostly Paul Stuart.
Almost always khakis, Bills Khakis (these are so much better than the average khaki you can get, and they're not that much more expensive, really, try a pair, if you can). As far as trousers go, it's a mix of Oxxford and Paul Stuart, navy tropical wool. Shorts, too, are good, but it's not often hot enough to merit wearing them.
The shirts get tucked in. I hate socks. I circulate wearing a pair of black driving shoes and a pair of white driving shoes (the whites I wear a little less often), with rubber soles, from Tod's. Hrm. I've got some clothes that I like to wear because they're funny, at times, like a belt with ducks on it or these brick red/salmon colored canvas pants.
The problem with dressing like this, I dunno, high-end preppy (?), is that I feel like sometimes I make my friends uncomfortable, since we never look like we're going to the same place. But, eh, unavoidable.
If I've actually got business to do in town, I'll throw on a suit, but, it's a pain in the ass, you know. I give the valet summers off, and all the ironing and polishing is such a bother.
Poorly.
*rimshot*
I had to think about it for a second... but I finally got it.
Great joke.
I have many Shawn Kemp(Sonics only) and Gary Payton Jerseys which I wear every single day(ask Master). I sometimes wear shorts but usually some sort of cargo pants with my Nike flipflops. I fucking hate shoes and only wear them when it rains. You might catch me with a T-shirt on that relates to one of my friends' businesses or bands over my Kemp jersey. I was recently seen spending 3 dollars on some Abercrombie cargo pants. Other than finding new kickass Payton or Kemp jerseys that I don't have I refuse to spend money on clothes. I'll have to break down when the rain hits for real because my Nike boots just expired after four years of service. I've been half covered in tattoos since '93 but I find piercings to be sort of nasty(no offense to those that have them) so I only have my ears pierced one hole on each lobe with tiny 24k hoops which have been in place for almost ten years. My look has not changed significantly since I started being fascinated by the Seattle Supersonics in about 1995. I doubt it will change significantly ever again since everything works and is most definitely "me". OH! and Ruhztee reminded me that before I cut my hair off I would wear a Detroit hat every day. Because it has a big capital D on it and I am of course, Big Dee. :)
I'll have someone photograph me right now and post it up since I am in the traditional green Kemp jersey and geen cargos.

Here in sunny Tucson, AZ, it's all about comfort. When I'm not on duty (i.e. working) I wear jeans, cargo pants, guayaberas, Hawaiian shirts, and other loose-fitting button-down T-shirts. I never wear shorts, and usually wear sandals during summer.
Occasionally I throw an amusingly-sloganed or logoed T-shirt into the mix, like a Decepticons shirt or Jenny Holzer shirt. My favorite T-shirt of all time is a dark blue number with the word "Chutzpah" emblazeoned on it. I've had it since the sixth grade, when a couple friends and I started a Dixieland jazz band to play at Jewish rest homes. The name of our band was "Chutzpah" (I chose the name), and we all wore matching shirts. Ah, those were the days.
