I bought a Parka cause it made me look like Scott Pilgrim.
A few people have commented on this actually.
Sadly it isn't blue

Guys, LISTEN TO THIS GIRL, wear suits more often
I have this Iron Man t-shirt a friend got me, it has all the different iron man armours running down it, which totals about about 75 different ones, I love wearing it under a zip up jacket and when people see like the top few and go ''Nice Iron Man shirt'' I slowly unzip the jacket and see their jaws drop, it's highly satisfying

I have:
A full Max Payne outfit, which to most people just looks like a leather jacket over a white T and Haiwain(I can't spell it) shirt. Which is what it was when I bought it but hey.
Captain Jack Harkness of Torchwood fame. Including the most awesome blue military great coat
Tenth Doctor brown jacket and variety of suits (I wore this look twice a week for a whole term of high school and no one noticed)
Plus others, including Indiana Jones (complete with hat) and a suit/hat combo much like the descriptions of Skulduggery Pleasant.
I buy clothes mostly at random, but every so often I'll see soemthing and think 'If I wore that with this jacket I already have, I'd look like...' and buy it.
And I Everyday Cosplay as often as I can, mainly because a lot of fictional characters dress really nicely, so you have two positives:
1. People think you dress very well
2. You can identify a nerd immediatly because they recognise that you're dressed like an obscure videogame character.

You know i've never thought of the casual cosplay 'till now, but i'm more into JRPGs ...although I am a hairdresser.
I think i'm going to have fun at work tomorrow.
Update: It was Awesome

I've got a replica of the tenth Doctor's overcoat and I love wearing that thing, even though no one recognizes it.
LARPing is right what my mind jumped to also. I dated a girl who was a LARPer some years ago and I remember the incredible levels of detail she would go to in order to add subtle layers to whatever she was wearing to one of the games.The_root_of_all_evil said:
I always was pretty amused by it, for a while she was playing as a Nosferatu(sneaky vampire but really unskilled socially) who was disguised as a Ventrue(high society vampire) so she could infiltrate the local leaders. She'd get ready as if she were going somewhere formal, evening dress, hair and makeup done, all that, but then she'd put on something like tennis shoes with oddly colored miss-matched socks to give that small undercurrent that she didn't know what she was doing.
Small touches that I'm sure most people didn't notice but added a lot to the character.
Oh, I could tell you exactly what shirts most of my Vampires would wear. And why Norman(Nosferatu) always wore that hideous 70s shirt.Tarlane said:
Jason(Malkavian) was pretty normal, apart from that T-shirt that read "So many trees, so little napalm", and the fact he'd never look you in the eyes.
Or Rolento's(Giovanni) neatly pressed jeans. And his blood stained handkerchief (That wasn't real blood, I promise)
A great one is Captain Hammer from Dr Horrible's Sing-along Blog. I already wear boots and combat trousers so just add a Hammer T-Shirt, and BAM! I'm not as good looking as Nathan Fillion, but it's close enough that the ladies just can't help but swoon. And if they lucky they get to see my hammerThe Hammer is my penis.
