Err... Normal and normal. I couldn't care less what's normal.
Sure, if Victorian garb was normal it would be cool, since more other people would wear it, but when it comes to what I wear, I couldn't care less what's considered normal or not. If I want to wear a suit, I will, if I want to wear a hat, a trenchcoat, a sashed mandarian gown, a suit of chainmail and hoses, I will. And I have.
The one thing I could consider annoying is that it's illegal to wear things that obscure your face (tell that to the religious people and see how it blows over). I'd love to wear a plain white mask, or a gasmask. Both because it's practical, because it looks cool, and because I like how it feels (a mask, not a gasmask, those are hot and very uncomfy).
On a somewhat related topic, I saw a girl/woman/whatever walking around without pants today. I at least think she was without pants, she wore a t-shirt that went down to about the start of her thighs, and I don't see how something would fit under there. It got me wondering wether that was socially acceptable garb. No one seemed to react, apart from me, who of course immediately started gauging people's reactions, and comparing her clothing to other examples I'd seen during the day, and probably would have started taking notes if I wasn't eating at the time.
I don't know, is that acceptable? Would it be acceptable if a man/boy/guy/whatever wore the same? I'd suspect not, but then, if it was someone walking without a shirt, then it'd be okay for the guy, but not the gal, even if she wore a bra, right?
I suspect I'm the only one here to find something like this interesting, but there you have it.
