Ha!

I like to wear my worn out levi's (the others have all magically shrunk in the dryer) and this soled sketcher type slip on shoes.

I'm still working on a hat situation, the sun seems to get through the top of my sunglasses and the spot at the back of my head needs protection...

Semi-unrelated I am trying to get my lady to ride with me in a bikini top but I don't think it is happening...

Button up with a v neck undershirt. Button ups in white black and greys. With v necks that accent them well. Slacks or jeans. A simple solid polo works in the summer.

I have a porsche motor sport hat that I wear (usually when I don't drive) and a simple drivers cap that I wear sometimes when I do.

I have a black denim jacket for colder weather and a pair of lambskin leather driving gloves.

3 watches, a casual white face blue strap american eagle, a slate grey relic, and a black clemson watch, for whichever fits the outfit. As for shoes I stick with sperries or some simple Ralph Lauren polo shoes, (really comfortable) or a pair of boat shoes.

And aviators Incase it's sunny.

All works well, mostly subtle sleek and clean looking. Works for me.

If concentrating on driving and warm:

Ecco Cumo Shoes:

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...........

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

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.

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

Whatever I'm wearing that day.

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

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.

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.

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.

I don't have specific driving clothes, but I enjoy wearing this.
