I wear whatever I'm comfortable in
I always dress up
I only dress up on specific nights/for specific venues
I specifically avoid dressing up
I find people who dress up intimidating
I never take any notice of what people wear
All that matters is that they're clean and don't smell
I only dance with people if I like what they're wearing

from a psychological perspective, stay up's are better.
Just think,
ladies legs, from the waist down.....
Do you want to "stay up", or "be held up"...???
Personally, I would much prefer to refer anything in that region of anatomy as stay up rather than face a hold up......

Now I remember why I never where earrings when DJing!Originally Posted by Emma
Reading this thread almost makes me think I should smarten up my act, but then that whole wardrobe of comfortable (very) casual togs, which is almost exclusively used for dancing, would have to go. Occasionally I've even had compliments on what I wear, (I think they're just humouring me!)
The way I see it, for comfort it has to be the lighter the better to cut down the perspiration, so the DJs and tails are out, and the ideal would be just wearing a smile (except the shoes, I can't spin in bare feet.) I don't really see many partners going for that approach though.Originally Posted by Philsmove
I rarely take any notice of what people are wearing, so presumably my approach is that I hope people aren't that bothered by what I'm wearing. Yes it can look stunning when you go to an event where people have made that special effort, but usually once the dancing gets going, the guys soon change out of their finery.

Would you still do double trouble with Andy? (I've seen the move he calls 'The Slut'! )Originally Posted by Sheepman
I've learned to see beyond your pyjama bottoms and general sheepy wear and appreciate you for your inner beauty!Reading this thread almost makes me think I should smarten up my act,
Although, I do have fond memories (well before I knew you) Of this dashing man, dressed very smartly, including a rather fetching hat, competing with Mary at Hammers!

but there you go, continuing the pajamas myth! They're not! They're designed for walking up mountains!Originally Posted by Lory
Well there are times that you have to try to be noticed, and I'm pressed into conformity but it certainly wasn't comfortable!Originally Posted by Lory

I like the men to be easily identifiable and clean that's all. So sheepy's pyjama bottoms are good as are Andy's fancy shirts and Noel's shorts. I would like the men to stick to one colour for the night, I hate it when the man changes his shirt and I don't know his next colour. Tall men like Under Par and Peter are so easy to find they could wear black Bandanas are good too, but at Salsa there are so many men in black wearing bandanas.
Subconciously I expect the man to be a better dancer if he's wearing black, like I expect him to be interested in golf or Lindy if he's wearing two tone shoes. Reality often doesn't match up, but I know still think like that.....
I like to be distinctively dressed. I may change my top but try to stick to the same them for the night. I try and encourage my friends to dress distinctively too so I can point them out to other people in a crowd.
Have noticed three modes of dressing at salsa : casual grunge , sophisticated clubby, and just come from the office (I'm sure they haven't though ). A lot of the really excellent dancers look like they've just been doing a bit of garding/decorating. What's that all about?
Long live individuality that's what I say.
It seems to me that us guys changing our shirts is confusing the women. I have a suggestion, why not look at our faces
p.s. Instead of changing shirts maybe we should just swap them - before they get sweaty, obviously. Then they'd need to do DNA testing to work out which one of us was the father

Yikes! Far too radical!Originally Posted by Andy McGregor
Ever since I joined the Forum there has always been a reason for me to Dress up to the Z's, and I've really enjoyed that vulnerable feeling of being recognisable, apart from once when a guy moaned about one of my postings while we danced.Originally Posted by Andy McGregor
I will be going undercover soon, 'cos I'd hate to be type-cast.

On a class night I'm a jeans & T-shirt person - if I'm wearing blue-jeans I will wear a black T-shirt (normally printed), if I wear black jeans, it's normally a coloured or white T-shirt. Why? because black hides the sweat more, and most of my T-shirts are so old they can bearly be called "black" any more {} and two different shades of black is such a fasion faux pas
On regular party nights I will wear a shirt, poss dress trousers: It makes it more of an occasion if I dress up for it - more of a "night out". If I dressed smartly for regular nights, then there is less of a contrast; therefore less of an 'excitement' to partys.
On 'special' party nights, the kilt gets an airing.
I accosted some poor woman wearing zebra stripes at Hipsters on Tuesday, thinking that it was you. If you go under cover I'll never work out who you are!Originally Posted by Zebra Woman
That's because there should be a whole herd or Zebras: there's safety in numbers. It's easy for a lion to pick you out if you're grazing on your ownOriginally Posted by Zebra Woman
There were three of us in Northampton once, one male two females, and we did herd together , fortunately there were no leopardy ladies around to scare us....Originally Posted by Andy McGregor
Ok I won't go undercover until I've met you Rhythm King, but you must continue to accost all women wearing zebra stripes, that sounds like fun.
Suddenly all the women reading this thread find the thought of going to Hipseters wearing zebra stripes strangely appealing....Originally Posted by Zebra Woman
Hmm, perhaps I'll have to become Lion King rather than Rhythm KingOriginally Posted by Sparkles
Ooohh...Simba! Now you're talking...
Someone should organise a 'themed' evening, where everyone has to wear a item of clothing with an animal print? *ROAR*
