Nah. I’ve never even looked at a men’s fashion magazine. I have no idea what’s trendy and have no need to look like I do. Jeans and a polo shirt or T-shirt, or occasionally a long-sleeve shirt work for me, and have for decades. Nobody’s pointed or laughed at me for wearing those, so it must be working.
Yes, I follow fashion, pretty constantly, in both men’s and women’s wear. I don’t subscribe to Vogue yet, but I’ve been considering it. 
I am both interested in it (I have quite a few books on fashion, both historical and modern) and pursue it (i.e. I try to dress well).
I’m not gay, but I’m probably a metrosexual. I guess.
Not that I was motivated by a fashion trend, but I found myself looking for just such a necklace the other day in a beach shop. You know the kind- the touristy “shell shop” on the beach with pouka shell and sharktooth necklaces galore. I just like the look of earthy, naturalistic, jewelry and I’m kind of into baubles for artistic and I guess “talismanic” reasons, so I thought I might find something there, more as a memory, than a fashion accessory. But don’t get me wrong, I also wanted something that would look good on me. But nothing really fit me, so I didn’t get anything at that particular shop.
(I used to wear and make love beads in the nineties, too. And have even made a cool, primitive, leather and silver wire necklace/choker featuring a big triangular piece of hematite. So, that motivates my fashion sense as well to some degree.)
It’s really easy to make these kind of necklaces and bracelets you’re talking about and it makes the jewelry that much more meaningful and personal when you make it yourself. Not to mention you can craft something that you like and fits your personal style and is entirely unique. And I think that’s what fashion is, it’s something internal made external. Something to consider.
I start new fashions, I never follow them
What is this fash-un word of which you speak?
Mind you, I can dress well when the occasion warrants. But my clothes will be just as fashionable (or unfashionable) ten years from now as they are today.
I have a large collection of ties. None of which I now wear since I haven’t worked in an office in almost ten years. I wear uniforms at work. At home I wear t-shirt and jeans. I own one suit (dark conservative, good for funerals or weddings). No I don’t follow fashion.
I can’t believe we’re 27 posts into the thread and nobody has said it yet:
I’m a Dedicated Follower of Fashion.
Damn!
I don’t follow fashions.
That’d be a joke.
You know I’m gonna set them,
Set them,
So everyone can take note,
Take note.
(apologies to Adam Ant)
I have a timeless look. Jeans, nice shirt in a good solid color, belt and shoes go together. When feeling particularly jaunty add a cool tie - that’s just the only thing that I happen to have the ability to pick a nice color of.
(As compared to the interior of my house which is decorated in a wild assortment of beige)
One suit for job interviews, formal dinner party stuff (once in a great many years), weddings (performed two for my friends) and funerals (none in recent memory). Noticed recently that suit has been attacked by moths so time for a new one, haven’t needed to wear it in a long time which is fine by me although it’s nice to make the ladies swoon by looking all dashing.
I define it.
Tie and lapel width are of prime importance with me.
Some of the less important stuff includes:
Cuffs on pants
Collarless shirts (those jobbies that just button all the way up)
Single vs. double-breasted jackets on suits or blazers (sometimes okay on suits, varies on the blazers-unless you’re a commodore 
)
Lederhosen: Don’t wear them- EVER- especially in Georgia.
I find that even if I don’t order from them (and I do, regularly) LL Bean and Land’s End are a fine reference for a guy my age (56).

I don’t follow trends at all. One of my friends recently told me my cargo pants were out of style. I replied, “So?” I like my cargo pants. They make up most of my collection of pants, along with the camouflage. My shirts are either one solid color, a speckled color (hard to explain), or have a message, usually a humorous one. I have some hats but rarely wear them.
If I could find a good cape at the store, I would buy ten of them and wear them everywhere. Capes are awesome.
Fashion can burn in hell. I used to have a collection of extravagantly loud shirts, but my wife made me get rid of those a while back. I wear jeans and t-shirts as often as I can get away with, which is most of the time. I’m told I look good in suits and tuxes, but I would be perfectly happy if they were banished from the universe.
NO! NO CAPES!
Only if button tab braces come back in style. I can’t wear a belt, it pinches a nerve in my hip and causes a numb spot on my thigh, so I wear suspenders for comfort. Screw fashion.
I follow fashion…only I’m stuck around 1940 or so (double-breasted suits, fedoras, and wide ties). I like dressing retro-50’s shirts (a la “Kramer”) are my style too!
I have a friend who works at LL Bean. You’re their target demographic.
Guys do not “follow fashion”. We do not read up on the trends or anticipate what colors will be “hot” come fall. We don’t say “cargo pants are out this season” or “that shirt is so last year”. I go to one of half a dozen potential stores and buy a shirt based on whether the current trend is bright solids, plaids, dark solids or vertical stripes.
There are a few guidlines like no leather pants, avoid horizontal stripes and wear a belt.
I have no idea about fashion. I don’t really buy my own clothes; my mom and sisters buy them for me. I don’t care what’s hip, I just wear what I feel like wearing, and most of the time it’s really not that unusual, though I have dressed in one color and not noticed it several times. Once I put on shoes from two different pairs and didn’t notice until I got to school.
I probably dress fashionably occasionally, but only by accident.
According to those around me who care about such things (all of whom seem to lack a Y chromosome), I follow fashion by about thirty years.
