Buying clothes: Style or Comfort?

So when you buy new clothes, do you buy for style or comfort?

I buy clothes mainly for comfort. I like my clothes to look decent, but I really don't care about style much. Actually, I think it's pretty ridiculous when people spend $200 on a pair of jeans. What does that pair of jeans do that a cheap pair of jeans doesn't?

For the most part I go for comfort. Although I don't get certain styles of clothing just because they do look horrible on me. It's a nice mix of the both of them.

Actually I've outgrown the days of needing to fit in and usually go for comfort.

being comfortable is everything I don't care nearly as much about looks, it can't look really bad though it has to look decent or else I'll find some other comfortable clothes to buy.

"Ohh! OOOhhh!!!-Oh and again! I made it. I know it. I can't see it but I know I made it. Oh my God I made it. Alright, don't give up. This is for everything. This is when I don't have to do it. This one right here is when I don't have to do it, which leaves nothing else but the one. No I don't think so. Not there. God I wish I could turn the volume-OH **** Aahhh son of a **** I talk too much. ****." - 00vega -

I guess I would tend to go for comfort. I don't know jack in regards to "style" so I just buy stuff that I like and that fits me. The trendy expensive stuff isn't for me.

I buy cloths for practicality. If I'm going to be in the woods for a weekend playing paintball then I'll be wearing either all camo or a guille suit. Comfort has a huge part it in as well I suppose.. would not want crotch huggers in the woods.

Comfort. I can't afford to splash out on big brands. As long as I look alright and feel alright then I'll buy it.
I don't shop to impress other people, I shop for me.

Mom told me never to talk to strangers, and you're pretty strange.

Definately comfort, though there are styles that don't suit me and though they might be comfortable I'd choose not to buy it if it doesn't sit well on my body.

Bored out of my mind.

Comfort.

Although I'll obviously go for a balance if I can achieve it.

Necessity.

I don't buy clothes that much anymore. If I buy them, it's because I need to.

I like to mix style with comfort. While I may buy something comfortable which is not very fashionable, I wouldn't buy something fashionable if they're uncomfy. It's such a waste of money because I probably won't use it.
