Title should say it all. Gamers have a style all our own. If your embaressad of this you wear this.

Stealth Gamer: Jeans, tees, jackets, sneakers,. You walk through your school/ work place. Quiet, unassuming. Someone who doesn't rattle the cage. You get home..... and throw on your bolter tee, sweats that you had a space marine printed on and begin to paint your new Ork Gretchin plastic box set.

If you are slightly insecure you wear this
Middle Gamer: You wear too wear jeans. Everything else...... different for each person. But still you don't rattle the cage. Much. Occasionally you wear some things that warrant a few jokes, but only rarely. You go home, and you glue you guardsmen together.

And if your like me (ie you don't give two sh**s on a rat a$$ what people think)
Proud Gamer: Tony Hawk shoes, Shaun White jeans, comic book character tees, Tsoalr tees. And of course, every one's favorite accesory.

FEDORA!!!!!

Yeah. I wore my Fedora today. Coulda been worse, coulda been better.

Post what YOU think a gamer wears. Thanks.

haha what a well timed thread. I bought a 500 hundred quid suit today. However, that is the most expensive item of clothing I have ever bought. But I do like a bit of high fashion, I think the problem is i get paid too much for someone my age. granted I don't dress like the average gamer.

edit: noticed that doesn't really add much to the thread so i'll add this...

I used to be the "you don't give two sh**s on a rat a$$ what people think" kinda guy like you say, until I found out that dressing well helps you get prospective females immensely. So now I just dress with that in mind but with my own eccentricity to boot, much like your fedora (nice choice btw, not too good at rockin' hats myself), got a few pairs of winkle pickers, have been known to carry a financial times in one hand with no intension of reading it. That sorta thing.

As for the average gamer in my area, it's usually either a gothic/emo twist or just the general casual jeans/'sneakers'/t-shirt combo. Btw I absolutely despise 40k/superhero/comic book/ general novelty t-shirts myself, but a lot of that goes on.

I buy all my clothes at either wal-mart or big and tall stores. From seeing the people who come into my FLGS, I can't say that there is a 'gamer' style. I got a t-shirt for christmas that has a fairly snappy and slightly insulting saying on it, but it's 2 sizes too small. The funny thing is that I got it from my nephew, who is bigger than me.

I personally don't think being a gamer really has anything to do with what you wear (unless you really like to rep your love for Warhammer 40k, or some other game, on your T-Shirt).

Generally, all I see gamers at my FLGS wear is simply a T-Shirt, Jeans, and some sneakers.

Personally? On an off day, where I don't feel like putting any extra effort into my wardrobe, I'll just wear some black jeans (I don't own any blue ones), a band T-shirt (I've got plenty of them), and some skate shoes (I have flat feet). Though I am very partial to leather and knee-highs, it's way more work than it's worth if I'm just gonna be sitting on my arse all day.

I just wear a shirt (usually red), shorts (because it's hot, usually black) and thongs.

You know, in the United States, this means a completely different thing from what you mean.

edit: WRONG! ...me that is. sry. I had no idea ausies called footwear that.

I have to admit that I laughed my arse off when I first saw !?'s post.

And then I realized that "sandals" can also be called "thongs".

Still pretty funny though.

"Coz every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man."

can you get GW Tshirts, other than the harry the hammer anniversary one?

Ive often fantasised about having 'wargamers do it on the tabletop' or 'toy soldiers for REAL men' on a shirt under the GW logo.

on another note, it tends to be jeans & a band Tshirt for me, unless Im feeling trendy & Ill go with jeans & a casual shirt.

I wear normal clothing because my life dosen't revolve around gaming. Gaming is fun, but it is a hobby that I enjoy.

Of course, this is influenced by the fact I used to be a massive fatty early in high school. I was 370lbs with a whopping 60% body fat, and I only wore nerdy, "sarcastic" shirts, and all I did was game and watch anime. I finally got my ass into gear, and brought by self down to 190 with a 9% body fat. After that came the realization that everything is far better in moderation, and keeping a wide variety of interests is far more entertaining then just doing one thing only. I still have some nerdy shirts (like the ork glyph shirts I silk screened myself one boring day) but hey, not all my friends are into gaming, so there is no reason to push it on others by saying, "I'm here! My Ork List and Level 20 Psion could totally wreck your ! Get used to it!" I feel a lot better about myself now that I have reached a happy medium in my life (not to say anything of being able to enter the navy.)

Also, voicing the opinion of one of the posters above me, I'd rather not have to explain that I play with miniature toy soldiers when I'm meeting some lady on a first date; for some reason, they don't find my five-battlewagon list sexy.

That "gamers do it on the tabletop" shirt sound really awesome, though.

Well i'm 16
so I wear whatever the Ladies Like
haha.... it works
gaming doesnt have much of an impact on my atire

I made a "Harry does it with his Hammer" shirt. Got punched. Very hard.

Details? Story?

My trousers are usually either jeans, camos or cargo pants and my t-shirts consist of mostly band t shirts, a couple of comic and game ones, and a fair few just plain ol' ones.

"smart" consists of shirt and 'proper' trousers and a tie for interviews heh.

My "smart clothes" (he heh, oxymoron in my case.) Khakis, dress shirt, and of course



FEDORA!!!

I still want to hear about you getting punched in the face. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Yeah...... Didn't actually happen. Almost did. But not quite. Didn't have any screen printing thing todo it on so couldn't make it. I was sad.

But some d*ck stole my Fedora. I took it back and ignored him. He'll rot for stealing, which is a sin.

I usually wear this because I like to pretend I'm a time traveler, but if I don't have time to don that gay apparel, I go with some chic stripes or rock the sweats and boots.

I usually wear suits or red button up shirts and ties. That way when i walk Through the mall with my suitcase, people think I'm somebody important. Plus I love wearing suits.

I think game related clothing are pretty lame/nerdy. I am definetly a ultra stealth gamer!

Same clothes I wear to work- combats (non camo my gf threw them out...for the better I might), band/geek tshirt/hoodies/jumpers

I like my clothes plain and boring

Jeans/collared shirt (not polo or 'popped collar').

Sneakers because I have flat feet and my sneaks fit like a glove.

not that I can't wear a suit, it's just way too hot here most days to bother with one.

On the subject of clothing, I grabbed these in China!!!

T-shirt, pants/jeans, sometimes underwear. For work I wear 'casual businesswear', which involves collared shirt of some sort, slacks (I got five identical pairs that were commissioned for a Subaru dealership)... and I don't give a rat's about shoes, exceptt that I take them off as soon as possible.

Typically I wear khakis, cargo pants or jeans (roughly in that order) with either a T-shirt or a plain button down shirt & sneakers. Except on NFL Sundays, when I'll be wearing Jeans, a Redskins Jersey and a Redskins baseball cap.

Usually jeans, t-shirt (often an EMS shirt), and low-cut hiking boots

(I'm a bit of an outdoorsman)

I've seen people wear "Gaming" themed clothes and whatnot at the FLGS, but Warhammer is strictly a fun, casual hobby for me (One which I enjoy immensely), so I never felt the desire to dress the part.

Every man should own at least one good suit. You never know when you are going to need to dress up, and there are plenty of occasions that occur in a person's life to warrant owning one (Weddings, funerals, etc..).

On the subject of footware:

Anything warm during the cold/ deadly winters of Nowhere aka P.A.

Socks are immediately stripped off once inside, then washed, cause they always end up smellinh bad even if I've washed my feet and only worn them fro a few hours and done nothing but sit.
