Daily, I tend towards jeans, lower rise Gap or Levi's, a mid to thicker belt, sometimes grommets (buckle matters, not tiny or delicate), tees or graphic tees, long sleeve or short. Boot's mostly, ankle boots, hikers, but sometimes my fav pair of suede black vans (like 10 years old lol).
I hate the "new" graphics- swirly, sculls and guitars trend, I way not big on trends, I won't wear a graphic that I wouldn't have believed in or said myself... in other words I wouldn't wear a Bob Marley T shirt unless I loved Bob Marley's music. If it says something it has to mean something to me, like Triumph motorcycles, my MN Vikings jersey or something I enjoy real-life. No souvenir shirts.
I like leather jackets, motorcycle styles but not really the classic 50's "biker jacket" (though I've owned more than one in my early life) but more hybrids.... I love a half classic half euro style. Some more dress.
I like my watches in a black leather cuff style, no tiny faces... I always wear a big ass ring with a spectrolite gemstone that has some significant meaning to me. Um, body jewelery, a labret piercing and sm. (6g) ear grommet.
I don't wear button-ups a lot, sometimes going out on the town or to a party but for the most part I'm not crazy about them- most of mine are black or have some additional "something" to add. Not crazy about polo's either... and no flannel what-so ever.... don't do loafers, Khaki's, shorts, sweat shirts and I hate frumpy or conservative (for myself).
Really my daily styles been built around my activities and enjoyment, though a definite preference it's been as functional as anything else.
I rarely wear suits unless absolutely called for, then pure black with a white shirt, light quality material, modern with a thinner black ties. I have my tux to wear where necessary.
I do hats, not ball caps (except maybe fishing) but fedoras and I don't wear then with suits but w/ jeans most likely (though I do have an gray engineer cap I'm pretty fond of).
I like good materials, and it's important that my clothes to fit properly, don't wear really loose or over-sized anything (or too tight).
All in all though it may not look like it I'm extremely picky, my gf sometimes hates to shop with me because of it... lol.
Wow I can ramble on about clothes...
*clothes whore and I don't care *S*

ETA: My worst nightmare realized... 2008 Oakland B-F thingy, one of my suitcases didn't arrive and I had to go over a by a bunch of clothes at the local Goodwill... my heart died a little that day (lol).
