I'm a solo folk-song act. My main approach (although I'm not always, for practical reasons, able to do it) is to wear dark pants, a white or colored but not patterned shirt, either short sleeved or with the sleeves rolled up, and WIDE red suspenders (braces, to you UKers). Playing outdoors, but sometimes indoors too, I wear a somewhat floppy cloth hat that I have. Shoes? Well, I guess anything except dress shoes.
