I love tight clothes. it makes me feel like my body is there and I'm much more efficient with it there. Loose clothes make me feel weird and gives me a weird sensation. its like I can feel something on me and it bothers me. With tight clothes it makes it feel like me and my body are one if that makes any sense. I can feel like my legs are there my body is there and it just feels great. You can definitely tell the difference when I'm doing activities like skating or anything like that. With tight clothes I can perform all my tricks and my skills are up to par. if I'm wearing baggy clothes i can't really land any tricks and I just skate awkwardly. reason being is that I really can't feel my legs or how my body is position. tight clothes just lets me know my body is there pretty much and gives me much more control

I can't wear tight clothes, they feel really uncomfortable, almost to the point where I feel like I'm being suffocated. I definatly prefer loose clothing.

Yeah, that's why I have a very strong preference for baggy clothes as well.

Tight pants also makes it harder to breathe. My asthma needs no help with that.

I prefer form-fitting clothing. I don't like having any spare cloth floating around me. I find that it makes it harder for me to navigate and I get caught on things. I like to keep my movement as fluid as I can, and clothes are a hindrance. I don't want anything hanging or dangling around outside my body. I don't like bracelets, rings, or necklaces. I also avoid having sleeves that go down to my wrists. I always push them up my forearms. Usually I just wear a pair of jeans and a graphic tee or something. I used to sleep in big t-shirts as a kid, but oftentimes I would wake up in the night all tangled up.
