Aspies and clothing

Post Reply New Topic

I'm fairl normal when it comes to clothing. I just find stuff I like at normal stores. I wear jeans and hoodies(non-identical of course).

If it was entirely up to me I would live in dark blue or black jeans anda loose hoody for my entire life. I can't stand tight clothes, when I have any clothes that stick close to my body all I can think about is how badly I want to take them off. I love hoodies because they are comfortable, soft and baggy.
Even in the summer I tend to wear a hoody and jeans.

I always have to wear mainly black.

I love, even crave, heavy materials or strong materials that palpably cling to me. I hate wearing light clothes with no weight.

I dress for comfort and fungtion and though I have some sense of what is fashionable at the age I am now, I didn't always. I don't dress in things I don't like just to appease some one else's sense of fashion! If they don't like what I wear or don't wear, it's thier problem! I don't care what they think!
What is most comfortable to me is cotton, cotton mixutes with some synthetics that feel like cotton. I can't stand to wear bright colors! Some colors I will not wear! I can't stand wearing dirty clothing and if I have gotten some work done and gotten dirty, I get changed and cleaned up as soon as I am done!

Jeans
Cardigan:
- if jeans are blue, cardy either black, grey or blue
- if jeans are brown, cardy is brown, shirt that is mostly black
Shirt:
- if cardy is black or grey, shirt that is mostly black or white (probably with video games related motif)
- if cardy is blue, shirt that is mostly blue (probably with video games related motif)
- if cardy is brown, shirt is brown.
Shoes are black slip-ons/loafers

I personally am a slob and have no fashion sense, but I've had plenty of jobs where I had to look nice... and I did.

This quote comes to mind: Eat to please thyself, but dress to please others. -- Franklin, Benjamin

I have a very comfortable uniform. Jeans, a dark or mildly colored t-shirt, and a sweater or hoodie if possible. Depending on the shirt and how feminine it looks and my hair, I may or may not look very presentable, but I don't look too bad. I don't know what other people think of my dress, but I have gotten a few comments about how I wear the same hoodie every day. It is clean, really...

I am always confused by the clothes issue... in this way I must be an opposite aspie. I really like snug fitting clothes. Actually, I cant wear clothes that are as snug as I like becuase I think people would get the wrong idea (I'm male... think about it).

My favorite jeans are levi 501s, which fit snug and nicely. I think its becuase I can't stand the feeling of clothes pulling and sliding and flopping and bunching... I hate that !

Right now I am wearing a polo, and it is driving me nuts because it doesn't feel symmetrically placed on my torso... it eases to the left, then to the right; I don't have that problem with a tight shirt.

Anyone else like this... I'm feeling kind of alone on this one.

i am hardcore into fashion. i am very picky about what i wear : / i like plain shirts and cargo shorts

i also like tight clothes. (i'm female) feel uncomfortable in even vaguely loose underwear, and prefer skivvies and leggings rather than floaty stuff of any sort. however will also wear cargo pants because they have some weight to them, as long as they are not scratchy and most importantly IT IS NOT A HOT DAY.

my clothing sense is primarily determined by how hot/cold it will make me. i have such difficulties with regulating temperature that my idea of "generic outfit" is a very thin sleeveless or strapped top, plus a thin outer jacket, plus a big polarfleece jacket - means i can take off and put things on depending on temperature. bottoms are on the light side (have recently discovered i like leggings with a skirt, but before that, also liked close-fitting, stretchy light-material jeans. cargos are cool but you can't take them off if it gets too hot!! (i've done so anyway, haha, thank goodness there was no one in the room at the time)

i think colour must be a stim for me too, especially my favourite colour, green. so my version of "dressing to impress" is to wear clothing where the colours are beautiful, or entirely green. but doesn't matter how hard i try, there is no pattern to whether the style actually matches (eg office look, uni look, etc.). will often try and memorise others' styles to copy, but it's so hard to remember as nothing seems very salient about their style anyway.

finally, my material preferences are thin wool or cotton. this is because of....the sound! the sound of nylon is very stressful, lol.

i also have clothing from high school... and middle school... i'm a very short person, i didn't grow much haha, until last year i still had stuff from primary (elementary) school too...

think am different from most others here because the texture is a reason, but not as big a reason compared with other things: temperature, colour and sound.

Hehehe, I wear the same thing until it's worn out too. D:
But I've kind of put together a really all-purpose outfit.
The pants are good for city, forest and even job interviews. I got them at REI. They're sort of close-fitting and stretchy so they look tight but they're easy to move in. For pants, you really have to pay attention to how they fit and how high the waist goes, how long the legs are, etc. It's easy, if you're ever in the city, to just look at people and see what is the most common fit/etc.

Then I just change my tee shirt every day (er.. almost..) so it's hardly noticeable that I'm wearing the same pants. And I have ONE fancier shirt for job interviews. XD; It's kind of well-fitting and a bit stretchy.. clothes that fit well are important. All my clothes used to be too loose.

Then I just wear a hoodie. It also fits well, so I look pretty "nice", but it's comfortable and I wear it everywhere including, like, the woods. So I went to the thrift store and found a clone hoodie in case I mess this one up, LOL.

Shoes, uhh... yeah, that's where I fail at normality. I gave up shoes completely a while ago. (I was bored and found a barefoot-propaganda site. Instant conversion, LOL.) And if I have to wear shoes, it's sandals all the way. Tevas, man. You can't beat them. (Even before I went shoeless.)

For colors: I just base it on my favorite and most constant article of clothing. My pants are brown and my hoodie is dark red, so I've got a sort of dark warm thing going on right now. No blue/green/lavender for me until the pants or hoodie changes.

My wardrobe is not too disasterous, mainly because my best/only friend regularly orders me to buy a particular item for myself or donates me some of her clothes (she doesn't wear particularly female clothes!). I think independently I've bought a t-shirt and a pair of jeans in the last three years.

I can sometimes make myself look okay but it takes effort, which is lacking if I feel bad. I have two looks. One is green cargo pants with a plain dark t-shirt (such as me on the right). The other is some descent jeans (with some shape built in so follows your legs and have an attractive texture) with a plain dark t-shirt or a shirt (such as me drunk).

If its not too warm I'll wear a jacket from a suit, as in my profile pick (the scarf was one night only).

I would be quite happy if everyone was "garden of eden" style, just leaves. As Most the clothes I own I never ware as they develop and itch in the neck, and it drives me insane!! What's more is that my mother insists on buying me hoodies with massive logos saying something along the lines of "I stalk the streets of manchester knifing people and killing kittens" However these hoodies are usually very comfortable and practical (what I value in my clothes) But latest fashions nowadays state that all clothes must ripped and women should ware massive belts? I apologies in advance if I offend anybody, but these fashions are rather stupid, and could of been designed by a four old. And yes, I am a fashion hater! I am comfortable wearing some cotton trouser with deep pocket and an elastic waist, a tee shirt and a jumper without a hood or stupid logo.

Like most aspies I wouldnt know what was fasionable I just wear what is comfortable for me.
