Flat broke teenager = getting new shirts/pants about once a year for X-Mas. Sadly my mom hasn't mastered the fine art of grabbing shirts that feature gaming characters as "Those Chinese and their games are crazy and suicidal." (hispanic mother = unintentionally racist idiot, while I simply facepalm in anguish.) and she doesn't have any idea as to what the hell kinds of games I like. Here's what usually happens, "What kind of shirt do you want if I were to surprise you with one?", "I dunno, I guess a Metroid one would be cool." (shows her various Metroid shirts and general pictures of Samus etc... for her to have an idea), "Well I didn't know where to look for that Metroid or whatever shirt and you know I don't like computers or the internet, but here's a Mario one they had at JC Penny.", "Mom, you 'surprised' me with that same shirt about a year ago, heck I'm wearing it right now.", "Well then, you'll just have one to replace the one you already have when it wears out, plus it was on sale!". And this cycle repeats again and again until I just lose all feeling and no longer care.

Black t-shirts and jeans have been all I've worn for the last...8 years? I used to gravitate towards funny slogans, but I'm leaning more towards film and game shirts now.

For the most part I wear band shirts, black stretch jeans and chucks or engineer boots. I do have one D&D t-shirt I got on sale for $6 and I recently bought a shirt with the four Pac-Man ghost on it. Sometimes I'll wear flannel shirts or a denim vest weather permiting.

I only wear plain, short sleeve t-shirts. (I buy them in bulk at AC Moore) If it's winter or dold in general, I wear a jacket with very long sleeves over the t-shirt. As far as pants go, I wear thin sweat pants with khaki pants over them. I like the multiple pockets. :)

My style of clothing is so dull, but in a way that somehow stands out... (I also always wear a bucket hat or fedora)

I'm a jeans and black tshirt kinda guy but work and social life prevents that. You can dress like a corporate tool cheaply and comfortably though.

I get almost everything at Kohls except suit coats those I always search amazon or thrift stores for those.

For work I get Croft & Barrow microfiber dress pants. It's like wearing pajama pants they are so soft and you never have to iron them. They look nice and work for formal and semi formal dress pants.

Haggar dress shirts and Haggar short sleeve dress shirts for the weekend. They look very dressy but are super comfortable. You can untuck the short sleeve dress shirts and be weekend ready.
