Fashion: Where Do You Fit In?

Have you ever wondered what the rest of the world thinks about you when you walk down the street in your three-piece Armani suit or your tie-dye T-shirt and low-rider jeans? While clothes may not make the man, they certainly can make an impression.

So, take a look at our fashion formulas to see what you might be saying to the world.

• Scholasticus Academicus. You're still wearing blue jeans and T-shirts on a daily basis. Your favorite choice of footwear is sneakers or flip-flops. There's nothing too funky about your style, except the pizza and beer stains permanently soaked into your clothing. You're typically characterized by the glazed-over look in your reddened eyes.

• Serious Corporatus. Key items in your wardrobe consist of black, gray, and navy-blue blazers. To spice things up, you wear a red and yellow striped tie or scarf. Wow! You dare devil you! Better be careful, or you might get fired for violating your office's dress code. Other accessories include a cell phone, laptop bag, and spit-shined shoes.

MTVius Employus. You still dress like you're in college, but your boss is OK with that. Not only do you get to wear the latest fashion trends, but a halter top is never too risque for the office.

• Countrius Clubus. Anything emblazoned with a horse and jockey or alligator logo is perfect attire for you. Dockers and golf shirts are standard uniform. Obnoxious shades of salmon and kelly green plague your attire. You also tend to stick to plaids.

• Eccentricus Overboardus.
You're usually under the age of 30, with an unnatural hair color, at least 10 piercings, and a knack for vintage clothing, again in shades of salmon and kelly green. You probably work at the local "underground" music store and have more tattoos than your tattoo artist. People tend to give you plenty of room on the sidewalk, fearing you may have an eccentric personality to go with your look. Think the Osbournes.
