UNMETAL IN APPEARANCE

who here (myself included) doesn't dress like a metalhead?

and why have you chosen such a route?

dumbest thread ever award goes to............

I'm wearing a turtle neck sweater right now. How un-metal can you get??

lol but i bet you've got an IRON MAIDEN patch on it right?

I wear metal shirts a lot, but I have short hair. metal's in the heart.

When im not in my work uniform, i dress metal.


I keep my chain in my work uniform tho, so I win.

My job won't allow some of the traditional metal stylings and I only have a few band t-shirts so I'm very un-metal in appearance. I do have a Die Happy tattoo with smiley face and cross bones!

i stopped dressing Metal when i was about 20. I just go for a casual look but occasionally find myself in Jnco shorts with a Metal hoodie on. I think i go the casual way because i look so much more mature and ppl tend to take me more seriously.

When i used to dress metal right away i was a pothead and ppl tended to be very stereotypical of me..

I cut my hair in college strictly because it was a horrible curly mess. As I mentioned in another thread, I looked like Fred Coury from Cinderella. I wish my hair was straighter so it would grow long instead of out like an afro. As for my clothing, at home, I'm a jeans & t-shirt kinda guy. For work, it's black pants and either a black sweater or a black 3-button shirt. Aside from my bluejeans, the majority of my wardrobe is black, with a few gray or dark purple dress shirts for formal occasions.

Black leather sports coat and some highly-shined combat boots or a pair of Sketchers complete the ensemble.

As I got older, I realized that it's more about my attitude than how I dress, but I guess my outward appearance still gives off a "metal" look.

I look so un-metal nowadays that when people look through the CDs on my desk the reaction is often "You listen to THIS stuff?"

Even better, my musical tastes make my co-workers fear me. FEAR ME I SAY!!!

i look like a total death metal head, tatooed, bearded, long haired, lots of leather & even a bullet belt. it would be funnier if i listened to Jewel or something though.

You ought to do that.....grab an old boom box and rock some Tiffany or something while decked out in your deathiest!!

I have never looked the part. I mean, I've never donned the jean jacket with patches and whatnot, no bullet belts for me either. And I hate tight jeans to this day! I grew up in a ghetto, had a lot of black friends, so I think my style of dress is more urban than anything. Big t-shirts, baggy jean...with a belt, always! Never have I had to hold my pants up when I walked. I can't believe morons do that. And my hat has never been worn skewed to the side. Nor do I talk like I'm from the ghetto. But my style is baggy jeans and t-shirts mostly. But I've been known to bust out the button-down shirts, too. Totally unmetal.

In Korea me and my roommate started wearing these flashy button-down shirts on Friday nights. It quickly became known as PDS Friday, which stood for Pimp Daddy Shirt Friday, and a ton of dudes wore them. It was pretty funny. It never caught on in England, though, and I looked like a fag, so that ended.

For instance:



Me (in a PDS) with a Russian juicy girl.

that was what i looked like two years ago. i have longer hair though now so ignore the mop you see there

I don't really dress "metal", I just dress comfortable. For me that is jeans, a t-shirt and the occasional leather vest. I have tons of metal tees, and that's what I usually wear, though sometimes I wear body building cloths. I have long hair which I almost always wear down, except at the gym when I wear it in a ponytail.

i want to get a denim jacket to patch up as i have loads of patches and nothing to sow them on to

I wear band t's but i wear i sweatshirt jacket most of the time. A lot of other metalheads at my school wear the denim/leather jacket. I don't. I also don't wear jeans, never owned them, I wear the cargo shorts. I have really long hair, so I usually wear it in a pony tail.

I don't really wear all that metal clothing. Admittedly, trousers wise I tend to stick to jeans (unless it's summer - then it's shorts, sandals and a general hobo look), but when it comes to t-shirts and jumpers and what not, I seem to wear band t-shirts less and less. Really, the most metal thing about my personal style is the long hair. And that's not really a metal thing - I'm just a weirdo who likes long hair. Oh actually, I wear a leather jacket quite a lot. That's vaguely metal.

Me too, bro. That is why I can't live somewhere cold.

I try not to wear anything at all.

Me and my brother and Dodger stadium a couple of years ago. I'm on the left.

The pictures of me I've shown on HOM is how I am. I wear metal/rock t-shirts, jeans, and boots. Occasionally I will wear my leather pants or my gothic dress shirt but I just feel most comfortable in jeans & t-shirt. I almost always have a beard of some sort because I hate the way I look clean shaved and I hate shaving. As for my hair, I like the way I look with long hair and hate the way I look with short hair so I try to keep it longer (although once I start looking for a career I may have to cut it again-I hope not). I do wear shorts but don't wear any tank tops anymore unless I'm outside in the summer heat for long periods of time (which I'm usually not) and even then I might just wear a light colored t-shirt with the sleeves cut off. When it's cold I am never seen w/o one of my leather jackets (unless it's freezing, then I wear my old letterman jacket from high school).
