Yeah, red hair does have some downsides. Most shades of pink, red, and orange clash. Pale skin doesn't look good with white, cream, or tan. (Consequently, most of my wardrobe is brown, green, blue, purple, gray, and black.) Also, I sunburn very easily - never tan - I either freckle more or burn, nothing in between.
I like red hair enough that it outweighs the downsides, though.

I dunno, I don't consider freckles a 'downside'. I've just always had them. I think I'd look weird without them.

I've also got pale skin and freckles. Brown hair, though. I usually either get strawberry blonde highlights put in or I dye the whole head red. I love the look, but it usually ends up fading to the colour of my freckles.

Same here. I like to say my freckle density increases.

Am I a freak for being a man who collects clothing? I have like twenty dress shirts (I wear them daily) of different colors. Long live TJ Maxx and Marshalls.

I have always liked shopping. Maybe it is because my mother always took me shopping when I was little. I always remember liking shiny things. From sequins to patent leather. My mother tells me I used to hide in the clothing racks in the stores.

I often wear a hat out. I have plenty of hats, my favorite two being a wide brimmed panama (damn, wish they made cheap felt fedoras with wide brims, other than the ridiculous gangsta ones with feathers) and a pecan newsboy cap. I tend to wear the newsboy cap in the winter, because I can wear earmuffs with them.

Small boobs can be addressed with padded bras, unfortunately I have no cure for making my legs anything other than skinny and shockingly pale.

I prefer skinny jeans with a t-shirt and a shirt over it.
I also wear a suit pretty well.


Actually come to think about, I wear pretty much anything with a shirt pretty well.

This is my wallet:

Though mine is a dark brown.

And I've been meaning to get a pendant of some sort, possibly with a phoenix motif.

Beside the shirt that makes up part of our mostly-obligatory school uniform, I own only two shirts: one's white and goes with my one suit; the other is blue, denim-y and I wore it once to a party.

I dislike shirts.

When it comes to hair I like my hair medium/long. Though what people consider to be long hair can vary. Here is a picture for reference.

I despise facial hair. I absolutely hate it, don't want it, wish I didn't grow it. Luckily I don't grow much, only have to use an electric shaver. But I still hate it. I like to wear clothes that are simple, comfortable and gender-neutral. So jeans, shoes, t-shirts, jumpers, hoodies, jackets. That sort of stuff.

You know what would be great. If I could wear a skirt without everyone looking at me weird.

I wish that wide brimmed, retro fedoras were more common. You only really see that style in Panamas, but you can't wear a panama in the winter.

You could fleece line the panama, make it winter friendly.

Just bought a brown fedora off Amazon. It's made by Scala. I plan to remove the feather, as it's just not my style.

Now all I hope for is that people don't think it's an Indiana Jones hat...

Oh, don't you worry. People recognise fedoras.

My 5 yr old stepson has a fedora. He looks rather dashing in it. Going to be a lady killer someday. ;)

I used to like wearing hats, but now I just let my mass of curls take center stage. Although I have one winter hat from REI fleece lined inside and itchy wool outside. If I ever lose it I'll cry. <3

I take off my hats indoors, as to show my hairstyle. This works quite well, as well as being good manners.

Hats worn on the in sun means you're somewhere close to all the fun.

Hats on while indoors means: You're carrying a gun and ready to kill some schmuck. Or: you're a schmuck who forgot to tear off his hat.
Baurus: Our job is to get the Emperor out of situations like this. Though I'll admit, things aren't going exactly to plan.

Casandra: At the moment, the deadliest weapon at my disposal is a goblin's head on a stick. I'd be worried if this was the plan.

Euphoric.

Hats aren't really my thing. Not fond of seeing them, and not fond of wearing them, either, because

I don't wear hats much. I wore baseball caps over tied-back hair when working at a restaurant, and when it gets cold I'll wear a warm winter hat, but that's really it.
