Favorite driving attire
What are your favorite things to wear when driving your Boxster? On the track, on long road trips, with the top down when it's chilly / when it's hot? Do you have a favorite driving jacket, gloves, sweater? Pictures and make / model of the items would be good if possible. I might be expanding my driving clothes closet.
On your feet:
On your hands:
On your head:
On your neck:
Pants:
Jacket / sweater:

Wasn't it Essex Pete that posted the topless woman driving a Boxster?

Linky?! 
Seriously though, my Boxster is a summer only car, so it's usually t-shirt & shorts.
Ball cap and sun block for the bald head and a jacket stashed in the frunk for when it gets chilly.

For a leisurely drive in my wife's Tiptronic it's fleece lined comfort mocs:
For the '99 my driving shoes have a thinner soft sole, like these:

Just like any Porsche, less is more!
Snug fitting T-shirt, denim shorts & lite-weight thin sole tennis shoes.

Sperry's. I always like wearing hats, but then they fly off - gusty Texas wind tips it, speed lifts it. End up reaching up to catch it every mile on the freeway.

Great idea! I never considered wearing slippers. I typically drive barefoot most of the year, Van's when shoes are required (because of the thin sole and pedal feel) but slippers sound like a great alternative.
p.s. - Nice to hear from another Mainer. My wife, mother, and sister have all done the L.L. Bean CSR thing for a bit too.

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.

"Driving Attire" ??? Wear what's comfortable. I'm heading out now for a 3 hour drive and will be wearing what I tossed on this morning. Sweat pants, a Columbia polo, and running shoes. I'll have a ball cap with me to control my freshly driven hair look.
