Discovering Vinted has been a game changer for me, able to get more of a branded wardrobe for next to nothing (Joules, FatFace, White Stuff, usually under a tenner).
But always been retro in styling - will never give my up Pop Swatches for anyone  |

I'm more of a City Series guy myself. Tho some of the reissues bear little resemblance to the originals. I have a couple of pairs of London and Torino that I'm proud of. |

I notice what's becoming more popular but prefer my own choices on what I think looks good in me. I don't do branded items of clothing as I don't like the idea of being a walking billboard for numerous companies. |

I love fashion. I like looking at the really high end nice stuff more than considering ever wearing it. And I dress fashionably as much as my salary but more importantly my body shape allows. I just love people that explore different things with their fashion and are really expressive.
As said above though, retro/ vintage stuff is always in (if worn right). I like a mix of second hand/ retro looks and current new bits. But do still avoid cash fashion. I like to mix up my style. I was gonna say check my pictures but remembered this is a sex site- no space for fully clothed pics on here.  |

Pretty much this.
If x colour is on trend I can get more of it. If y cut is in style it'll be easier to find, which is good or bad depending on what suits me. I mix, match, and flirt with or borrow from prevailing trends. |

I know what’s in fashion but I prefer to be a little more quirky in my style .I prefer clothes that stand out a little and people will remember rather than ones that just blend into the background . |

Not in the slightest.
While I’m fat, I’ll carry on with my gym wear. When I get my body to where I want it, I’ll add a couple of pairs of jeans to that.
Simplest wardrobe ever. |

I unintentionally buy brands as I buy clothes for their look not the designer. Ebay is my favourite for being girly clothes 
Weekday functional wear is generally shorts and T-shirt from asda and go outdoors
As regards to fashion, No. I don't follow trends, I make my own |

"Current fashion is what looks good on you, fits the curves in and then add on a few nice branded accessories and shoes "
That is good and yes, you are right there as well, it should be a good fit too |

We both are, it gets quite expensive but those clothes and trainers get looked after very well  mostly casuals brands, but breaking the “3 stripes only” protocol and pissing off all the traditionalists with a pair of Nike is lots of fun |

Yes, I'm into fashion. But it's MY fashion, in a nonconformist way. Mostly contemporary but with a twist, sometimes retro and occasionally old school, but never 'left field' so that it's too obvious. |

"I like to follow current fashion but I don't always wear it. The current trend in dresses for instance just wouldn't suit me so I won't wear them. I do enjoy fashion and find it interesting. "
That sounds also good to do that |

I like the creative, fun side of clothing as an outlet for self-expression. But 'fashion' as a concept is lame. People being told what to like by multinational corporations and convinced they need to spend money they barely have replacing half of it every season. Fast fashion is a hideous concept and so damaging for the planet. |

Honestly, I don't follow fashion at all.
I stick with what suits me, and have been pretty steady over the last few years.
Stick with the classics, the occasional drop of flair here and there. |

Not all that North of North London |
I own a few pairs of cargo shorts, tops that I've either been given after a run or brought at a gig and hoodies that I've either brought at a gig or at a run. Except for work wear and outfits fir fetish events I've no idea whenni last brought any clothes!
I guess I'm not all that fashionable |

"I wouldn't say that I am, having said that I do get things from Nike and Adidas now and again, but not that often. I also get things from less-known brands, what is the current fashion?
"
Fashion, style and trends are different things.
Magazines and Catwalk shows determine fashion.
Style is how you chose to dress over your life time.
Trends are short-lived usually a year to 6 months.
Day to day I have an eclectic style as to be expected by a maverick. I do not want to dress like everyone else when given a choice.
I have a few timeless classic style pieces which I wear on repeat...sadly usually to funerals. A black wrap dress and a black broad-rimmed hat. More eclectic of me- blue suede shoes.
I think I'm a bit too old for trends but I work many in my twenties and Primark is great for a cheap and cheerful trend piece.
Fashion isn't always about branded items. As you can be fashionable and make your own clothes or pick up vintage unbranded items from markets and charity shops. |

But I just wear what I think suits me and I'm comfortable in.
