Do we dress differently to others ?

even in the army in full battle rattle, i still stood out like a sore thumb.

I am pretty repetitive on what I wear, I have to have the same type of T-shirt and jeans. For me, its Wrangler relaxed fit Jeans from Walmart and Fruit of the loom Pocket t-shirt from WM as well. All my T-shirts are plain black or dark blue. I hate logo stuff, although I do like Columbia Fleece Jackets and Carhartt sweat shirts when it's cold out. I wear a ball hat a lot but I am not at all a sports guy, so I like ones that are plain with no logs on them.

I have very little idea of how colours "go" together, and have ended up wearing muted colours despite a secret love of bold primaries. I dress a bit more formally than most people around me- almost always collared shirts and chinos, rather than the T-shirt and tracksuit bottoms standard for men in this neighbourhood. It was only recently I stopped wearing long-sleeved shirts all year round. Kind of unfortunate that I can never be bothered to iron, though. So I'm similtaneously smarter AND sloppier. I don't wear jeans and avoid artificial fabrics, because of the texture.
