I thought about this thread topic months ago, but after reading some new posts in WAYWT I was reminded of it....

Rye replied: For me music and fashion go hand in hand. I post what's playing on my computer whilst I'm uploading my photo's, it's as important a criteria as the shoes or belt I'm wearing when it comes to presenting my aesthetic. PG has his car and pens and cologne which makes sense in his contributions, musicical taste is no different.
How much (if any) does the music you listen to relate to the clothes you wear?
And do you dress differently on days you listen to certain styles of music? (for example, put on a more "indie rock" style on days you listen to Indie rock vs dressing more "goth" on days you listen to that)
It's obvious music and style go hand in hand for me, one wouldnt exist without the other. I'd also say that my clothes mirror whatever style of music I am listening to more of at that time. For example, if I'm listening to a lot of soul/60s RnB I will dress a bit sharper.....if I'm listening to a lot of oi/punk then I tend to dress more down. Same goes for copious amounts of indie rock vs rockabilly. It probably looks the same to the casual viewer but it feels completely different to me.
