And the answer to that qu. could simply be
Clothes 
Pssst By the way this is a thread, not a blog.
No need to get your panties in a twist.

I've got a pair of Gap cords that came off the clearance rack for 7 dollars that are great for chilling weather, but as for something climbing specific my favorites are the Patagonia Sender pants and Scrambler shorts, both awesome, with a great cut and super durable. THe Scramblers are tough as bricks, and now, after their 3rd season of getting beat on, they still look almost new. I normally wear the Prana Mojo shorts in the gym, their light and it's always balls-ass hot in the gym,so they work out.

I like my blue Spandex.
I'm also looking for a pair of lycra with a Canadian flag on the ass part.

usually i climb in whatever I was wearing before I decided to go climbing.
This is also how I choose my runnng outfit, which my girlfriend thinks is ridiculous. She says it always looks like im running from someone.

I know what you mean. I wear my Dickies work pants for work and play, and sometimes I even wear them while working out in the gym. I'm sure I look like a total tool, but then again, I probably look like a tool no matter what I'm wearing.

For everything but winter, Prana Zion Pants are awesome. They're my favorite. I also like the Arc'tyrex capris, they' pretty comfy too, but the zion pants are amazing.

i'll second the prana zion pants- got them in black from rei-
they're really light and comfortable and they have snaps on the bottom so you can roll it up w/o having to worry about them unrolling-
waist is a solid fit however the pants don't come in varying lengths like some jeans, i'm 5'8" but i have to roll up the pants and snap them every time i wear them or else they'll drag-

I normally get mine from clearance racks so they aren't normally available later on.
Most of mine are Prana because they are cut well for climbing.

I really like arborwear pants for climbing. They are as burly as carharts, but have a gusseted crotch and double knees!

Be nice to at least have something bit more climbing specific, cut so you can stem fully for example, and a waist that doesn't interfere with the harness. Also a fly of some type any favorites out there or fave companies. Just poking around not seeing a lot. thanks
Jeans & a thrift store tee.
