Cargo shorts, polo or short-sleeve button-down, and either Birkenstock sandals or my NB running shoes. With Ray-Bans. :cool:

I also agree. Since we are the New Yorkers we should be the DH's :cool:

If it's warm, comfortable fitting t-shirt and cargo shorts, no shoes. If its chilly, cargo shorts, sneakers, tshirt tucked in, and a hoodie over it. Top down, windows up, heater on. I've driven in 32 degree temps like that, and it really isn't bad unless its windy. I'd imagine heated seats help too.

Hats
What kinda hats work for sunny driving top down
Regular billed hats just want to blow off
I'm 6-2 so maybe my head is more exposed
Lanyard on hat is that best option

I've never had a problem with a ball cap, as long as it's snug fitting, and I keep the bill pulled down. Do you have a windscreen ? It also helps to put up the passenger window at 70+ MPH.

$20 walmart tennis shoes, jeans that have shrunk only around the waist for some reason, t-shirt that has shrunk around the belly for possibly the same reason (I think it might be my detergent), ball cap. Usually if I'm moving I don't wear the cap, but if I get stuck at a long light or a train, a cap becomes necessary.

Carlisabadman986 03-09-2015 06:46 AM

Because of my long hair I absolutely need to wear a hat or sunglasses if I am putting the top down or my bangs blind me.

But as we all know the most important driving accessory is a blonde in the passenger seat.

Have wind screens
Snug fitting
Its the puffs that do it
Most of time all is well but little puffs come randomly and unexpectedly
Maybe i have an odd shaped head My parents probably dropped me alot as a baby
I'm thinking simple lanyard is my solution

I second the importance of a beautiful gal in the passenger seat.

Hey Jake the windows look fogged up. Good job sir :cheers:

Whatever I'm wearing that day. ;)

If you have driving attire, you have far too much free time :D

Fact! Seriously people have attire for driving? Might as well break out he fire suit and helmet to get some gas :). I guess if the car isn't your daily driver it would warrant driving clothes. I think I have a scarf and fingerless driving gloves somewhere, throw on my Ray ban aviators and I think I am set.

Ecco Cumo Shoes:

Cutter & Buck Golf Shirt or Half Zip Sweater if Cool

Bob Timberlake Cargo Shorts

After 30 years of cruising the above is the best combo I've come across.......:cheers:

Those shoes look really nice but WOW a bit pricy.

You can occasionally snag them off of ebay for ~ $80 delivered, that is where I bought and paid for the last couple of pair.

Ecco shoes are the only brand I purchase if not an athletic type shoe, Incredibly comfortable and wear like iron...........:cheers:

RedTele58 03-09-2015 03:23 PM

Way to go Jake! :cheers:

I actually had a custom pair of Nike shoes made to match my car that I drive in. They are speed yellow and grey and have 986 on the heel.

I think you're kidding? But I hope you're not...

My official Boxster driving attire:
1. Short brimmed, low crown hat I got when I bought a VW GTI. This hat is perfect.
2. Medium weight jacket, loose around the shoulders and arms. Perfect for top down in 40-60 degree weather.
3. $10 Pashima scarf to look appropriately pretentious (functional as well).
4. Driving gloves. These aren't great. I'm looking for some better options here.
5. Old beat up Vans. The best driving shoe I've found. Thin sole and loads of comfort.
