| I know there is a similar topic: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=38369&show=0 But it's not descriptive or wide enough, so i made a new one. So, do you care about your clothes, hair, shoes etc? what is most important to you and why? Why or why not do you think fashion is important to you as a person? |

| Couldn't care less about fashion. Fashion =/= vanity |
 "Sanity is overrated." |
| yes not in the sense i need high fashion clothing but i wear clothes that compliment me and I like to dress a certain way |
| ~May you continue being the Messiah.... |
| Seeing there isn't a between choice. I would say I care about fashion but more in the way of looking nice enough to go outside without looking bleh. I don't need the latest fashion or the most expensive clothes/shoes, even with cheaper clothes you can look nice. I love to wear whatever fits comfortable, you won't see me with super tight jeans or shirts or super short skirts. Maybe it would look nice, but I wouldn't feel one inch of comfortable in it. |
 |
| Clothes I don't know any of the hot brand names... Half my clothes came from the outdoor store, Bass Pro Shop. RedHead jeans and shirts ftw! The other clothes I have are either dressy or deal with working out. I don't worry about shoes. I either wear my Vans, running shoes, or dress shoes. Hair My hair is in that horrible stage right before being long. So it looks stupid no matter what I do. I'm just ignoring it until it's grown some more. |
 |
| There should be another choice for "Sort of". *grins* I care in that when I go to work I don't want to look like a slob, so I pick clothes that look good and are complimentary. But when I'm out and about outside of the job all I need are jeans, a t-shirt and sandals. However, on the other end of the spectrum, I find fashion itself a fascinating art form and would jump at the chance to attend a high-end fashion show. :D |
| I don't follow fashion trends. I just wear the shoes and clothes I like, regardless which brand it is. As long as I like something, I just wear it, that's all. Regarding my hair, it is always a total mess. I like it the most when it looks messy so I leave it be. |
| Not particularly. I'm not into name brands and usually like to divert my money to other things I enjoy more, like manga. Once I make more money, I'll probably dedicate a bit more to clothes. For now, my job basically expects me to look like a slob, so I just look casual and comfortable and wear what I like. I usually care more about summer clothes, since I don't have to worry about freezing my butt off. I like my nice two suits though. I'd like to wear nicer stuff more often if I could (without destroying it with chemicals) or could afford to. My hair is long and straight, like it always has been. Styling is pretty futile. It shakes off most styling pretty quickly with a reasonable amount of product, so I don't bother. |
| t shirt and jeans work for me. the more time a guy takes to dress up, the more he gets douche-er. anyways i am a guy who sometimes take his time. depending on the situation. but you will not see me gelling, spraying my hair. it's just too time consuming. i could simply do something else with my time. |
| Generally, no. Heck, I don't even know how to use make-up. As for my hair, I just... brush the knots out of it and I leave it at that. I've never used a straightener or a curler before. -horrible excuse for a female- Normally T-shirt + jeans is fine for me. As long as I don't look like a slob/hobo, I don't really care what I wear. The only exceptions to be putting in effort is when I'm dressing up, be it formal wear or for cosplay. Then I take a while, but am still make-up incompetent lol. ): |
    There is nothing in this world more ugly than imperfection |
| No, I don't care at all about fashion. I care only about what's comfortable. There is far, FAR to much emphasis on appearance around me and it makes me sick. [: And disappointed. Although, I should probably say I don't care about fashion in terms of my public appearance. I'm interested in clothes in fiction or other circumstances that I won't mention here (too off topic). Hopefully I didn't interpret the question wrong. :J |
| I care about my hair, since i choose to have long hair. It's like an obligation to keep it in order. My shoes were like $14.99 lol. And generally yeah, T-shirt and jeans is fine (though i usually avoid colors like green, teal, orange, yellow, and pink, and prefer wearing black, white, grey, red, purple, or dark blue) |
| I don't care about it that much. Looking decent and human is just enough for me. |
| i just slap on whatever. but thats only if im going somewhere |

| I like people with a cool style, not the boring, old, damn ugly Abercrombie etcetc prep style you see worn EVERYWHERE. People who make their own style, props. I, myself, could care less about how I am presented. Im too lazy. |
| h8 weeaboos that don't know how to dress themselves that is all. |

| I don't care much about brand names, and think it's stupid to spend $$$$$$ on something with a brand name (like purses with the designer logo all over them) just so you can walk around and be a billboard for the company. I am too overweight to care about designer fashion anyway, since none of them make clothes that would fit me in the first place. I generally just try to be comfortable, wear things that FIT (no, I will not try to squeeze myself into those low rise jeans, thankyouverymuch, that would be SUCH a BAD IDEA), dress appropriately for the situation and not look like a slob. I prefer darker colors. There are some styles I would like to try, but know I would not be able to pull it off without looking stupid ^_^ I also know better than to cosplay :) |
| Like Shoujo? Visit: Emily's Random Shoujo Manga Page |
| Yes. I like to look good, and love putting on makeup, and playing with my hair. I know what's in, and what's out, partly because I'm a fashion(and clothing production..) student. ; D But my personal style isn't particularly fashionable. I'm mostly inspired by (mainly French and Japanese)street fashion. :3 |
| Cross my heart and hope to die I promise that I will never lie and if my promise ever does go I give to you my eternal soul! |
| I just wear what looks decent enough. No need for brands or anything. |
| I care when it matters. Not really about brands, but about the clothing and how it looks on me. If I'm going out or I have something to go to where there's a dress code of sorts. I'm not going to care about fashion when I'm sitting on front of my computer. And on regular days/occasions I dress regularly. Edit: I like to look good around other people. I admit that I'm pretty girly. I like nice clothes but I don't really care about brands. I like to paint my nails and do my make up. My hair is pretty much just blow-dry and go because it's short. When I'm lazy I wear my hair in a ponytail. Sometimes I do something interesting with it, but since it's so short... |

| Fasshun? Wuts dat? I'm seriously planning on using my M77 boots for the rest of my days, and as for clothes, I only need comfortable black pants of whatever kind, some black/gray/brown jacket of whatever material that I find to look alright, or usually a black coat, and then throw on some random t shirt with a snazzy punchline or something awesome on. As long as I think it looks cool or clever, I'll have it. Couldn't be arsed to care about brands or whatnot, clothes are utility items at heart, no point wasting too much money on them. |
| Yes. I care. Alot. I hate feeling like a bum, and like to look turned out well most of the time. I enjoy dressing up, doing my hair, make up etc etc, Just a bit of a girlie girl i suppose. |
<img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e297/kitsu_ayame/Untitled-6.png" /> |
| I enjoy looking and feeling good, but I don't really care about fashion all that much. I dress nice for fancy occasions, weddings, etc, but don't try too hard on a day to day basis. |
 |
| I don't care for having a latest or popular fashion, just prefer having clothes and shoes I like which fit my mood and personality. Hair...same, but hair care products, I am more likely to try some new shampoo or conditioners or buy something more expensive. I generally just wear jeans or trousers, t-shirt and pullover for winter/autumn, in summer just t-shirts and shorts, sandals, and if doing some crossing...whatever catches my eye and feels good. I almost always shop at 2nd hand stores and not retail, unless I see something that really catches my eye in a department store. As far as price goes, of course its less at 2nd hand shops, because I just believe there is no reason to pay super inflated prices for something you can get less somewhere else. |
 |
| I'm so very vain... so yes. Yes it is. I'm not into brands or anything like that, I just find things I really like that fit my style and they have to fit perfectly. =/ |
   |
| I voted for occasion I dont really care too much about fashion, but i do really love good looking clothes and hair. Im no fashion snob though, i hate them =p |
| I'm still wearing the same shirts I've had for several years. I have at least one from 2000 (when I was 12) that still fits me because of its size. So I won't have to keep changing pants, I wear the same pair for 2-3 weeks. Although, in high school, I used to change pants every 2-3 days. Also, many of my pants are actually kind of short. You can see my socks when I sit (might be why I change less nowadays, since I haven't had any new ones in a long time). As for my hair, I've only ever had one hair "style" ever since my first hair cut. A short buzz cut. So I've never had to take care of my hair. Although, before this last weekend, I hadn't cut my hair in about seven months. In cases like that where my hair gets long, I just make sure that it's flat and not sticking out in every which way. That's what my jacket's hood is for (I don't wear caps). If there's anything that requires formal wear, then I will wear something a little nicer. Otherwise, whatever is at the top of my stack of clean and folded clothes is what I'll be wearing that day. |
| I want to be a fashion journalist. So...yeah. |

| I don't think of myself as vain, but I like to follow fashion to an extent. Generally, I take local trends and expand upon those ideas. I live in the pacific northwest, and there is very much a sense of fashion here, but not quite what you would expect. Hair I design my own styles with drawings and take them in to my fave. stylist and talk them over with her. Currently I have a mix of retro-inspired-boy-cut and "scene" look. Clothing I don't really focus on brands so much, rather I focus on a look or a "theme" that I am going for. I shop second-hand almost exclusively, sometimes making exceptions for american-made clothing or closeout racks. Favorite brands include American Apparel, Wax, and volcom. Underwear has to be Victoria's Secret; I have never found anything else that fits me as well, with the exception of the main brand Urban Outfitters sells (Smack? I think it's called).

| I basically just wear whatever I happen to grab first; most of my clothes are the same, anyway. |
 NOTE: I am a legitimate (meaning usually on-topic and polite) hit-and-run poster. Do not expect me to reply to your reply to my reply. |
| Nope not important to me, but I like to have a clean pair of shoes if possible, and I rarely go clothes shopping and if I do I try to stay away from expensive brands. All my clothes are gifts lol. Just wash the same night and go out with it again the next day inside out yo. |
 |
| Hm. If fashion is meant by keeping up with current fads, then no, but if it just means dressing in the way you like, then yeah, sure, sometimes. |
 |
| I don't care at all. Most people who actually truly care are vain. |
| Not particularly, no. |
| I like what looks good to me. Unfortunately, that often seems to fall into the label of what people call "emo scene trendy". Which lord knows, wouldn't want to fall into a that label everyone hates and applies to almost EVERYTHING nowadays. There's also a bunch of idiot metalheads in this world that think caring anything about fashion means you're not focusing enough on what's important and that's making music. Not to mention fitting their often hypermasculine, heterosexist viewpoint, despite the fact they have long hair. Um....fashion has never been the main thing I spend money on. But it's fun too, if it's fashion I like again. I like wearing skate shoes and could just collect and collect those things. If I had loads of money to blow, I'd probably have several thousand pairs. Also I don't understand the whole dichotomy of if you wear skinny girl pants you're an emo, but if you wear those huge hot topic style trip pants and jncos, you're also and emo/goth. I like both extremes to a degree and the in betweens as well. Candykids wear interesting fashion in general and that's really more of a candykid thing than goth, that big pants thing. I sort o like on my fashion similar to I like on my anime. Big old bright Kandi bracelets, pastel colored clothing. Candy kid is basically the same decora in Japan, which is kind of nice, and seems to have some overlappings with the moe otaku culture. When I have to actually have real real tennis shoes and not skate shoes, I prefer to wear Adidas. I really do not care for Nike or Reebok. As far as skate shoes go, I really like my mainstream Vans. I don't care much for DC shoes. So I never buy them. I have a pair of element skate shoes that I care for dearly. Emerica is just okay, there are quite a few brands I prefer more. Fallen is pretty up there, they often make some really cool shoes and often times it's more fun to have a pair of fallen than Vans because they're more obscure. C1RCA is sort of around like DC to me, not that terribly interesting. Crocs are really not my thing, even as someone who likes bright fashion. I just kind of find them ugly and unappealing. I always thought Kangaroos made a great pair of tennis shoes, and have been saddened that they hadn't done better. JNCO used to be kind of cool, when they used to be more candykid and less hip-hop. I didn't like all the lame attempts at "tough" looking fashion, either. I haven't worn that sort of fashion in years, with the kandi and big pants, but out of nostalgia, I want to go back. And learn to make me some big old pants like that for myself, complete with pink, yellow and blue stars patched all along. Abercrombie, Aeropostal, and American Eagle are by far not my favorite brands of any kind. But they make a few really good outfits from time to time, and fit the sort of 'loose', 'sloppy' fashion I like. So I own a couple, hoodies at least, from Abercrombie and Aeropostal. I hate Eckō. I will never wear anything of theirs. Or any of those other "urban" clothings like Fubu, or Southpole. I am not a hip-hop person and I find their clothing to be ugly. Delving back into the realm of what someone will label emo, or indie for that matter. I think threadless makes great shirts and I want to own a whole lot of them. There are quite a few other online shops with a similar appeal and apparel. Who I would also like to buy from. Volcom, in general, has good stuff. I enjoy their clothing. Getting back onto skate clothing. Definitely one of my favorite brands along with Fallen. I have a few Zoo York items, though I don't care to much for or respect a few of their skate team members. Etnies is another great brand that I love. I have several etnies paires of shoes I've bought throughout the years and other things. Well you decide if I like fashion from that. I've made enough wall of text for now. |

| Yes I do. I like to go with the flow and not stand out and everyone here cares about appearance. Looking good makes me feel good and helps boosting my confidence. I do believe in brands because the quality of the materials used to make designer cloths and accessoiries differ from cheap ones as I like to have durable and timeless items. |
