I don't wear collared shirts as much as I did because the headphones ruin the collar

Depends on the venue, I suppose. But I feel you on the headphones vs. collared shirts thing.

Depends on the venue and the weather. If it's hot (and it gets really hot here in Cali) and I'm DJing outside, I will wear shorts.
I once DJ'ed an outdoor wedding in 112+ weather. I almost passed out. hahaha

Depends on the venue. If its a normal gig or out of town event, Baggy Jeans, A Nice T-Shirt and sneaks is the norm. Fuck a Dress code, Im the DJ. If its a Dress Code venue, Maybe a button up shirt... otherwise, I just dress casual to my gigs.

Depends on the location. I play at this one club where the booth is very secluded. It's usually just me and the occaisional waitstaff dropping in for a smoke break. There, I wear whatever. When it's a spot where I'm openly accesible to the crowd I try to look decent. I usually wear what I would expect the customers to wear. Formal gigs get a suit, and I'm thinking about getting a tux if I start to do more weddings.

4:52 PM - 10 July, 2009
to be honest it does depend on the venue.if im at a spot where people are eating and the vibe is older.im dressing for that occasion.if its a college club.im wearing a polo shirt with shorts or pants with a hat.
i feel that a dj should dress to the venue.trust the owner pays attention to everything." he should" lol!

caught a last minute gig at a club that i was not told was a all white affair ( as in clothes not people. lol) had on fitted jeans dunks and a ill graphic tee. no white on and got called out by the person who the party was for and in several pictures of the event i was in. so yeah what the dj wears is looked at but..... when u look at pics of big djs in clubs they usualy just have on a a tshirt and jeans . thats the norm.
if its a upscale spot tho i throw on some pradas and a button down or polo and fitted (not skinny or tight) jeans. or sometimes just a black v neck t and jeans wit some black acg's or black uptowns. keep it simple.

My brother-in-law bought me a light-up Batman shirt that reacts with the music. It's pretty pimp.
Have to wear a suit at weddings though.
Tried wearing my birthday suit once, but that didn't work out so well at the Kid's Fun Fair!

I tend to go for the sexy DJ look. I wear tight leather pants and a button up t-shirt but don't do up the buttons. And I usually have a bottle of lotion handy to get the party started. :)

Glasses, Cool T-shirt (or long sleeve tee if its cold), hoodie jacket(zip-able),skinny jeans and cool trainers! (My recommended trainers are those black Vans trainers with red LED shoelaces). To top off, cool headphones!
If you want, (for turntable DVS DJs) throw on some colored vinyl on your turntables when you do your set, it looks cool!!!!!!

it really depends on where you are, your city and even your country. For example the collared shirt rule in Australia is non existent. You can get away with wearing fresh kicks and a nice t shirt, as long as youre clean and presentable. Its a lot more casual here. We're not exactly hawaians but we're definately more laid back

For formal and corporate shows, we recommend coming dressed as if you were a guest. For example, if a suit is required of guests, the least you should have on is a suit as well. In other words, don’t come in khakis and a button down polo – dress up to meet the requirement.
