So I always have boring haircuts. Standard businessman cut type. Cause I'm lazy and hate having to do anything with it in the morning. And this morning I realized it is now at the point where it needs to be cut as it's looking, well, like it needs to be cut. (How it looks right now:
me1,
me2,
me3, though for some reason in the pics it looks a lot less in need of cleanup than it does in real life.)
So I'd like to do something a bit more interesting, a bit more daring. Not much, but a little. I'm kind of in a turning myself around mentally state, and it's passing over into things like this. And you know what style (roughly) I like? David Tennant-ish messy. Seen

here....

My favorite styles of clothing and accessories tend to be whimsical, cute, and generally suited to children or teenagers... but I’m in my late twenties. I obviously need to outgrow this eventually, but I’m not sure when or how.

I know you've seen this style of illustration (

Looking for a style, it includes sleeveless sweater vest over a white shirt with black trousers or tight jeans and I think a studded belt. Im looking for the name if one exists or some pics that will help me find the clothes to buy. We recently had swedish exchange students here and one of them had it and I remember seeing a swedish band clothed like that too so I think its a swedish trend

I'm finding myself liking punkish/gothic/emo type clothes (I never have before), such as Criminal Damage's "Hook Trench" and "Military Jacket" coats. Is this acceptable for wearing-around clothes, or just too "weird" for most people? I'd like input on this, since it's all rather new to me.

I bought the suit ostensibly for a wedding but, frankly, I liked the idea of posessing a suit again not having owned one for at least ten years. I enjoyed wearing it. I felt good in it and was told I looked good in it, and that was nice. Having spent so much money on an item of clothing which also made me feel good, I'd like to wear it more often. But the question is to where? I'm rarely invited to weddings. Occassionaly I attend church. Once or twice a year I attend an awards dinner. What else can I do socially to give me more opportunities to wear my suit? This is a man posting, just to clarify.
