Question by Mike: How to dress like someone from Moscow?
Hello,
I’m Russian but I’m going to Moscow soon and I would just like to know what they wear in the capital. I wear alot of leather jackets and adidas and things like that, is that acceptable? Just some general pointers on what people wear in Moscow would be great.

Yes, that's deffinetly acceptable. Honestly, they wear casual things. Their style is European so i think adidas and leather jackets are pretty awesome for that look .!

I have many different leather jackets. Many Adidas and other brand track suits. I even wear large gold ring. I am not gopnik or "yo-boy" and do not look like such! You see me in real life and know what I mean. I not been in Moscow except once in life and hated it. You should go to Irkutck, Bratck, Ulan Ude, Chita, itd where people are not so self righteous and obsessed with status like in Moscow. I would not want to "fit in" at Moscow.

If you want to look like a yo-boy or gopnik in Russia you can bring your Adidas and leather jackets. If you want to look nice and let people know that you have some sense of "taste" without spending a fortune, buy yourself a couple of nice CK, DKNY, or Guess sweaters, tops, jeans, a winter jacket (if you are going in the winter), and shoes.

Depends on where you are from now in Russia.You may fit in without notice.
But if you want some advice, wear conservative styles and nothing flashy. That won't make you look like a Muscovite, but it will mean that your colours and styles won't unnecessarily put you on the radar either.
