Hi BS, you...look...unsually...good. Very nice bow tie, but don't you think it would go better together with a tuxedo rather than that baggy old T-shirt?
| Sigh....I tried anyway.   Next time I'll just use the puppy dog eyes

| | Since I never go outside I dont know what kind of clothing people wear here, but I trust CE on the matter.
What apeales to me on the oposite sex is shirts and ties, There are simply no competition there... Other than possibly girls in top-hats and tails.

The Swedish ethnic costumes are supposed to be reconstruced replicas of the kind of clothes people wore for celebrations in the old Swedish agricultural society. And take a look at this, in case you believe the male versions are better.
| *Gasp* They look just like those gnomes in the bank in the harry potter movie!
No, as I live in Denmark I was already familiar with those costumes (no, not in the way you might think  ) but people don´t really wear them for parties anymore... totally last year!
In Denmark, french brands like Chanel and Dior are really in, and small tops and tight jeans...
Any of you been to Scotland recently? Seems that everybody likes slipknot and korn all of a sudden, and wanted to dress up in all the baggy clothes available, not mentioning colouring their hair black and being pierced just about everywhere in the face...

Well, unfortunately, you can still see it on elderly people out in the countryside when Midsummer is celebrated. Quote: posted by Dottricia

Cheers | *Sigh* And when I was over there they seemed llike such a sensible people, too... 
@CE-Those costumes were decidedly horrible.
In terms of what clothes I consider to be attractive, the obvious answer is none, but just an oversized T-shirt can be surprisingly attractive, esp. if it's one of mine that has been filched.
I'm such a dag...

@Ode: All straight men seem to find it attractive that women wear oversized men's clothes like T-shirts, shirts and boxers (even jeans, I have heard), but only if it is their clothes. It is obviously not at all as sexy if the woman has gone and bought these clothes in a shop, or if she has borrowed them from somebody else. So it seems this has nothing to do with clothes, rather with associations...

| Hmm... thought you knew this already... guess your just trolling me to tell anyway for some sinister purpose...
Well, AFAIK its the synth oriented. There shirt&Tie + Baggy pants or miniskirt and DMs or similar shoe wear is quite common. Common colour themes are black&white or Red&black and in rare cases brown&black for upper body, and almost always black for the rest. Also most of this is unisex more or less, but imo looks better on woman... hrm.. I so wonder why I think that way...

It signifies an easy familiarity and comfort, or something...

I am like 10 years older than you = old fart = didn't now this fashion still existed, it sounds very similar to the 80's. In my time *puts on Fable voice, there were different subgroups of synth people, one groups were called "raw synths", they liked Kraftwerk, DAF, Einsturze NB and such. They dressed in highly unusual, baggy clothes with assymetrical cuts and often torn pieces of cloth here and there. They had hairstyles that looked like futuristic mushrooms.
Then you had the "synthpopers" who looked like you describe (they had the kind of hairstyle you have also) and listened to Depeche Mode, Ultravox, and other synthpop bands that were despised by the raw synths.
Personally, I didn't find any of these clothing styles especially attractive visually, since baggy clothes hide too much of the body shape IMO. On the other hand, baggy clothes often give very good access  Quote: | Also most of this is unisex more or less, but imo looks better on woman... hrm.. I so wonder why I think that way... | Because you are a straight guy?

| | Black rimmed glasses, the one's that are trendy at the moment, not sure what it is, it just does something for me
Personally it is difficult to say, i don't find seedy fashion particularly exciting, it just looks either awkward or un-natural, there isn't a specific form of clothing that does something for me...the person inside the clothing is important...wow i sound like a cliché

I agree with sleep on this one. It's what's underneath the clothes that's important. (uh-oh that didn't sound right )
