I'm kinda partial to odd, funny t-shirts myself, like this heavy metal shirt, or perhaps something like this

I wrapped a newspaper ’round my head

"Normal clothes" on Sundays aka church attire: khakis or dressier pants with a polo T or plain button-down shirt. Our guitarists will sometimes wear sport coats, but I get way too warm for that.

My normal clothes. Mind you, 'normal' is fairly relative. :D

Me goes for formal clothing. Shirt, trousers and a tie. And a guitar around my neck is all I need.

Thank You. Where is my personal dresser now ?

Jeans and a polo shirt.

I've dressed formal or T-shirt, but casual is best.

Call me a prep, but I usually prefer shorts/jeans and an oxford with the sleeves rolled up. Just my thing.

I guess it also depends on the venue. If it is a dive with a tough crowd Eddie might make an appearance.

Mind you I haven't played in front of people that much and it has been a while, but my last official gig many years ago I believe I was wearing jeans, sneakers and a hooded sweat shirt. It was a little chilly and it was an outdoors party.

Normal clothes which for me is jeans and a tee shirt or polo shirt
sometimes a button down. If it's a somewhat special occasion I
step up the shirt a bit.I have a thing personally about not wearing
shorts on stage but if it's an outdoor gig on a very hot day I can be
known to slide on that one.

I love the "This Side Towards Audience" shirt.
I may have to order one of those.

I don't play gigs (yet (he said hopefully!!!!)) but when I'm jamming, I always wear the same things - t-shirt, jeans, trainers. If it's cold I'll wear a zip-up fleece amd probably take it off after a couple of songs.

:D :D :D

I try to dress nice, normal clothes that are clean and not worn out. I like to dress in black especially, I always liked that look that Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison had going. Black suits me anyway. You can see in my avatar I am wearing all black.

I will wear a cowboy hat on occasion. I think it looks kinda fun. :D

A few years back I was in a band that played real heavy downtuned music, our crowd was younger people. We wore makeup a few times, a very strange experience for me. I am not into makeup, tattoos, earrings, etc... One gig our singer wanted us to wear makeup, I just stuck my hands in this black makeup and drew straight lines down my face. I probably looked like a zebra. :roll:

I would wear a cool band T shirt for sure, like AC/DC. :twisted:

I always leaned towards T-Shirts and jeans myself. However, the venue and the music may call for something a little less formal than a T-Shirt :lol:

I have a lot of favorite t-shirts most of which I can't post here but one of the top ones was something like

"I am the one your mother warned you about"

Oh yeah, and like Wes I prefer black.

Now that is something we NEED pictures of!!!

For me it's usually a sleeveless t-shirt with a vest and pair of jeans boots and a silk bandana instead of a cotton one

Immature? Of course I'm immature Einstein, I'm 50 and in a Rock and ROll band.
