What to wear at the Manchester show(s)?

    We had a bit of a chat about this on Facebook.

    Some liked the idea of wearing masks again (as per the GMBers-at-a-Bat-for-Lashes-gig last year). It was fun, and we got quite a few photo requests. If people want to rock the mask idea, I do think it'd be good to keep it dark and semi-formal, to fit with the 'Tales' vibe/look. "Half-masks" are good as they can be quickly removed and don't obscure other people's view, LOL.

    Here are some mask ideas/pics. As Joe/mothwings mentioned, you can easily customise them...

    Any other ideas?

    If I were going, I'd definitely wear my VW shoes and Rick Owens black top.

    I'd look like a diva. LOL

    I was thinking gloves, to follow the teaser video "one for each character" theme?

    That's very clever. I'd do that too.

    Gloves sounds good! Also easy to take on/off.

    I thought about wearing my Felt Mountain T-shirt - it's the best way to being recognize by other fans.

    But according to Halloween_Jack's idea, maybe simple black T-shirt with your favorite  song title/ only Tales Of Us title/ tracklist? (hand-written, obviously) Although we don't know any new songs, it could be interesting get into character about which we know nothing (beside stories mentioned in press release).

    Yeah, I was thinking we wear just black & white as much as possible.

    That and the glove thing gives a starting point.

    Wouldn't it be a little weird if everyone wore gloves? hehe

    No, it would simple, cheap, easily spottable and quite good fun.

    You're all talking about gloves but I think you're missing the fundamentals here. Namely, underwear.

    As I've been reminded by so many people, apparently it's something of a faux pas to be naked in public.

    Well, obviously, I'd have my underwear on.

    Trusty old Supernature t-shirt it is! Unless there's a particularly lovely t shirt on sale at the gig in which case ill do a costume change there and then!
