does anyone adopt the U2 style? Like wear something the way they do or wear a certain pattern? I wear my RED jeans jacket the way Bono wore his at Live 8 and i've come to having a thing with light colored shades (not all the time though) I also wear black Converses ala Edge and shiny black shirts and fun designs that he wore on the Vertigo tour (ex. I like wearing anything with Eagles or Wings spread across)
 
:drool: I've been waiting for a thread like this!

I've mainly adopted Edge style...I tend to wear a lot more black shirts w/ shiny designs. I also wear jeans w/ rips and designs. I only wear a beanie when I'm having a bad hair day! For sunglasses, I adopt the Adam-style and wear the white plastic-rimmed ones. For Bono-style, I have a camo monstrosity cap and usually wear a ragged Edun-ish hoodie, complete with Bono-sleves. I wear my ONE wristband every day and also have a Bo(Red) shirt from Gap.

Atm, I am wearing a black shirt with an owl on it. :shifty:

Oh...if anyone knows where I can find a black hoodie with angel wings on the back, I would :heart: them forever!!!
 
I found 2 t shirts with angel wings on the back last week.....HAD to buy them....so happy..... :drool:

:ohmy: omg where did you find those?

I wear an edun hoody (with major Bonosleeves cuz it is a wee bit too big :giggle: ), tshirts like Edge... I have a Monstrosity, but I don't wear it most of the time....
I have these earrings, been having them for ages, and I lately found out they look a lot like Bono's diamond hoops :p but I guess mine are a few hundred quid cheaper!

I want (RED) converse's, but that damn site won't restock :grumpy:

So long as no-one wears the shoes with lifts in them. I find these so offputting, just embrace your height issues.

I do. I have these hot-tastic black creepers with red hearts all over them. Yes, it was because of Bono that I first learned of creepers. But to be honest, it isn't about height issues with me at all. Normally I wear flats (I absolutely hate heels for feminist reasons), but I saw these and when I read that they were of manmade materials I couldn't resist.

By the way, wearing creepers doesn't mean someone isn't embracing height issues, I take offense to that. Normal high-heeled shoes increase height, and are commonly worn by many. Would you say they need to embrace their height issues and wear flats? Do you wear high heeled shoes?

nope, it's flats all the way for me.
 
I spent a couple of years wearing a LOT of black for the B-man .
no hats or shades for me I look horrid in hats and I can't see without my glasses so shades are out .
when I found a shirt this I had to have it & on sale

I nearly squealed out loud in the middle of the shop when I saw them......got a couple of funny looks as I was frantically going through the sizes and then rushed out of the dressing room to get the other colour!!!

me too, though honestly they don't really have anything to do with Edge. My dad's always worn Converse so I grew up thinking they were cool.

I bought a plain black beanie because I needed a hat for winter, waiting on the bus... I wear it on days I don't wear hoodies.

I had a pair of Bono-esque shades but they broke :( now I've got a different pair of shades, they're bigger, kind of hip hop, but they remind me of The Fly.

I have a pair of black almost gothic boots that are creepers I guess you call them, partially inspired by Bono I guess.

I have a taste for Bono-esque jackets as well.

I guess U2 fans can be rather strange lot out in public , when I found my shirt I kept saying to my daughter Bono ruffels . :giggle:
 
I have to say that U2 and especially Bono, has been dictating my dress sense more than I care to admit! :shifty: It was especially so when I first got into U2 back in the late eighties, I was wearing slim black jeans, patterned long sleeved shirts, waist coats, a long black overcoat and the closest thing I could find to a black cowboy hat!! :wink: Oh and a red bandanner!!! :p

Although I eventually found my own style, I still have my 'fly' shades and wear a lot of black and I similar sort of fitted shirts as Bono does. Still looking for a purple shirt! I bought a lovely purple shirt for my brother last year for his birthday. :love:

Oh and I'd love to find a pair of creepers. They'd be great for my foot condition, bought on by wearing flats too much! Although thanks to treatment, the pain in my heel that almost crippled me last summer, has cleared up but also using high heeled shoes and thick soled shoes, both of which support the arch of my feet, have helped to keep the condition at bay. So be warned, flats are the worst possible type of shoe anyone can wear, especially if the shoe has no arch support. :nerd:

I mean, before Bono started to wear his creepers he wore high heeled boots and I never heard any one ever complaining about them!?! :huh: So to anyone who doesn't like Bono's creepers, you're the one with the problem matey not Bono!! :rolleyes:

Yes, I am always holding my jacket closed and cover my belly with my arm, just like Bono. :giggle:

The truth is, I have been doing this for years, so Bono actually copied that from me. :madwife:

Oh that Bono is such a copy cat isn't he?!? :giggle:

And I forgot to mention, just a couple of months ago I bought my own version of the green monstrosity and I'm also into beanies, which is almost a must here in Finland with winter temps of -15 to -35 degree centigrade!! :lol:
 
i dress like larry considering my love for Harley Davidsons..alot of their shirts & black jeans but i do love hoodies & caps/hats not beanies[sorry edge] Larry has influenced my style soooo much
 
Yes, I dress alot like Larry too... black shirts and jeans. I have earrings that are similar to Larry's earrings.

I wear bracelets just like Larry does :flirt:
