Welcome to the first What Are You Wearing thread of 2006. Seeing as it's January, you can also tell us about any bargains you've managed to snap up over the past week. Share your personal fashion concept!
Price a Fleece:
Grey trousers with thigh-length zip pockets (H&M, £10)
An old blue T-shirt
Blue hooded sweatshirt (Gap, £10) - I think people would call it a 'hoodie'.
Worn-out, cheapo sneakers
A nice new wallet with a zip (Top Mane, £3) - Kellifer calls it a 'purse'

and they're not fucking sneakers, they're fucking trainers. Also - I don't want to see the word panties, but I do want to see the word knickers.

- Red shirt (older than I am) - Black trousers (moleskin. I was disappointed to discover that this didn't mean what I thought it meant) - Fitted boxer shorts - Black wranglers (fucked. A waste of money)

Well I'm not really up on the lingo, but when I look at them, I think 'sneakers'. In my mind, 'trainers' are what I bought when I had to do fast running at school or whatev.
According to the first result on Google Images, these are sneakers:

Well, now you know. 'Sneakers' is an american word. You may as well start saying 'trunk', 'hood', and 'aluminum'

I got two nice long sleeve casual shirts in the perma-sale that is TK Max between Christmas and New Year. One is black with black embroidered roses on the upper-chest/lower-shoulder area, the other is a sort of mixed mid-blue floral design. Both are fitted and kind of western-styled in the pockets and stuff.

Ugly plain black top from NEXT. Jeans. Trainers.
What you have to understand is this: my unspeakably drab appearance today is a penance for the unpopular sartorial experiment I conducted last Friday. I wanted to find out if I could take something as bleakly, depressingly corporate as a tie and discover if it was possible to transform it into something casual, even stylish! So I wore a tie without a shirt, without any kind of collar, which gave the garment a choker effect. Unfortunately, the general consensus, I think, was: you look a tit. It was assumed, I think, that I had forgotten to wear a shirt, that I had, perhaps, in the darkness of the early hours, been incapable of discerning between casual- and professional-wear and had made a humiliating mistake. This Friday, therefore, I'm back to looking bleakly, depressingly (yet safely) corporate.

You are joking, right? Ties on boys are just wonderful.

presumably though, this is a slightly inappropriate scraggy tie, with an ill fitting shirt, rather than say, a decent roomy M&S white cotton shirt and a fat crisp silk tie in gold or metallic blue.
