Move to Eureka. We already do that — and many other “alternative” wardrobe options. I myself have been known to go out in what are ostensibly sleep garments, accessorized by tasteful scarves or jackets. I frequently forget to put on “real” shoes and go out in slippers. (I don’t have any with bunny ears, but perhaps I should get some.)

Be yourself. Wear whatever makes you happy/comfortable. It’s Eureka. Nobody cares. Did I mention that I love it here?

And lest anyone think that we are all barbarians, I have also seen: a man in a lime green velvet suit, superbly tailored, with a 3'x4' matching “Mad Hatter” top hat; Captain America doing the walk of shame after the 4th of July celebrations (the things he does for his country…); a man walking a turkey (whose name is Jack Lincoln; the turkey, not the man. His name is Nick.). (Truth! See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk5cvt-7ssI )

We have hipsters and old hippies; ethereal elvish maidens, stalwart and manly men with manly beards; steampunk, goth and lawyers (in their suits, poor sods). We have a veritable buffet of fashion styles, some of it seen nowhere else. The only fashion comments I have ever heard are along the lines of “Great outfit!”.

Can you image the haute couture houses doing their seasonal shows of bathrobes? (With real people modeling, not mutant 7 feet tall women who weight 80 pounds.) Sounds like paradise to me!
