-what's your biggest concern when picking your outfit in the morning?
form and function. i'll usually pick out something i want to wear and build around that.

-when shopping for everyday wear: what do you look for?
affordable quality and fit. clothes that don't look and feel noticeably cheap, even if they are.

-your 3 go-to stores for everyday wear:
uniqlo and h&m for basics. prefer unbranded clothes, but will be more brand-conscious when shopping for specific things.

-would you say you prioritize comfort and function over following trends?
yes. timeless, durable, versatile clothes that can be incorporated into different outfits.

-do you feel your style is an accurate portrayal of who you are?
yes. minimal style, muted colors, mature mind. cold, casual, confident.

-one sentence that describes your social circle (or if you have a public social media acc, that would be even better)
fun, easygoing, middle class young adults who are more concerned about what they wear, rather than who they wear, and being able to afford the lifestyle. look good out, feel good in(c).

-what's your biggest concern when picking your outfit in the morning?
Have I worn this too many times?

-when shopping for everyday wear: what do you look for?
Berms with zips and preferbly non-flamboyant colours, mostly simple polos or round neck shirts and jeans that fit me.

-your 3 go-to stores for everyday wear:
Esprit, Zara and probably H&M

-would you say you prioritize comfort and function over following trends?
I have no sense of fashion apparently.

-do you feel your style is an accurate portrayal of who you are?
I don't really believe so.

-one sentence that describes your social circle (or if you have a public social media acc, that would be even better)
Mostly nerds but a few relatively cool people whom I hang around some times.

1. Finding clothes that look good with each other
2. What looks cool on me
3. Ross, Old Navy, Costco (clothing section)
4. Totes, trends are stupid
5. Yeah
6. A bit awkward, but opening up and not caring about insecurities.

-what's your biggest concern when picking your outfit in the morning?
the weather and what i'll be doing that day

-when shopping for everyday wear: what do you look for?
versatility/timelessness

-your 3 go-to stores for everyday wear:
don't have any

-would you say you prioritize comfort and function over following trends?
yes and no. it depends on the circumstance. for example, i'd rather skate in a pair of vans for its comfort/function than a pair of janoskis (arguably the most hyped skate shoe of all time), but generally trends will have some kind of influence in my selections whether it's conscious/subconscious

-do you feel your style is an accurate portrayal of who you are?
for sure. i believe fashion is another outlet for self expression that you can't show thru other mediums

i apologize for not hitting u back, you can hate me all you want. let me know if you have any similar projects in the future

Oh, fashion? [url=https://omegathorion.wordpress.com/2013/03/24/art-theory-the-rift-between-fashion-and-character-design/]I love fashion.[/url]

-what's your biggest concern when picking your outfit in the morning?
Right now? Warmth. It's cold here in Philadelphia. I always wear a set of thermal underpants and long-sleeved shirt. Then I throw on a t-shirt. But then the thermal shirt's sleeves go out to my wrists and I look like a baseball player ([url=http://www.uniformdatabases.com/diamond/WBC/hr/2013_MEX_2.png]like this[/url]), so I put on another jacket on top.

-when shopping for everyday wear: what do you look for?
Clothes that are just like the ones that I currently own. I have favorites and I don't like straying too far from them. The only reason I buy new clothes is because my favorite ones are too worn down to keep.

-your 3 go-to stores for everyday wear:
H&M, pretty much all of the time. Macy's very occasionally. Then... Walmart, I guess.

-would you say you prioritize comfort and function over following trends?
Yes, comfort and function comes first. Rather, for me, following trends is pretty low on the list. I used to care about personal expression first, then comfort/function, then trends. Now, it's comfort/function, personal expression, then trends.

-do you feel your style is an accurate portrayal of who you are?
Right now, not really. I stopped caring about style a few years ago, when I noticed that nobody else cared about style either.

-one sentence that describes your social circle (or if you have a public social media acc, that would be even better)
Mostly fellow game developers. None of us really care about fashion either.

i guess i'll help, nothing to do here

in the morning? im never concerned of what i wear (unless im going out to a party or something important), but i guess if i have to say something then comfort.

i dont shop really, ive been using same old stuff last couple of years. i guess i look for comfort too, maybe how it looks, or the colors, but unless its comfortable i wont buy it.

none actually.

yea, i dont really care about trends unless again its a special occassion, and it that case, i still go with comfort, just trying to put on the most "trendy" of the comfortable things

to some extent

varied? idk how to describe it

and if its not obvious enough, im a guy (i guess this information is important )

That I have a combination of clean clothing that matches

Muted colors when it comes to pants. Plain v-neck tshirts, or graphic tshirts that have only like one thing shown on them.

If you're counting shoes Converse is my go to. Old Navy has some cool t-shirts and I can typically find pants in colors I like Like burgundy or a muted blue. Honestly last one would be anywhere I can get a nice plain v-neck, like banana republic.

I definitely prioritize my comfort over following trends. I look good in the way that I want to look good. I don't concern myself with what's "in" but rather with what makes me happy when I'm wearing it.

I think it is. It's typically unique and noticeable, like myself.

They're all a bunch of nerds.

PS: @fakestories how have you been, it's been forever?
