Default Style thread....yours?

Ok people. I am who I am, but sometimes feel that my style is too damn casual. Mainly, I like to wear my checkered shorts, bright t-shirts, and skate shoes for like school and when Im not impressing anyone. But then when I go out somewhere relatively nice, I still find that most of my "better" gear is still semi-casual...with the Oneil button up long sleeved shirts and nice Quiksilver jeans.

I want to buy some nice clothes and look good, but I cant justify paying loads of money for that expensive gear (even though some of my Oneil shirts are like $60 bones each). The point is, what do I do about this? Maintain my casual trend for my entire life, or splurge here and there and actually buy some nice shit?

Dizkhus.

Gap/express for men/department stores...I just got a bunch of $60 dress shirts from express for $30 each cuz they had a sale. I too would like to dress nicer and I have startedh: I use to be the plain t-shirt and jeans type. I also got some nice sneaker/shoes from Jcpenney for like $60, forget the brand but they're earth toned and match well with a lot of my outfits.

60bucks isnt a lot for a "nice shirt".

having casual surfer/skater clothes is cool if thats your "style"...no need to change it up for other people. however, i personally think it is still a good idea to have at least one or two "nice" outfits to wear when going out that might be better suited for semi-formal places. and "nice" meaning like a clean well tailored/fitted dress shirt and some clean slacks and/or jeans (not baggy, torn up, or sagging).
