How to dress as an aspie.

Post Reply New Topic

Any ideas for alternative ways to dress.

Starting to think developing my own style might be a good idea.

I don't understand the bitterness or disdain against anyone wanting to dress or present themselves to the world in a way that's conforming or stylish when both of these are universally considered to be positive and socially desirable traits. Dressing in away that's utilitarian or functional with no interest in aesthetics can come across as naive and arrogant; it kind of sends the message to society that you don't give a hoot about others' perceptions of you or in general.

I have wondered about that question myself.

With all due respect to Sheldon Cooper, my own everyday dress is usually a black T-shirt with denim jeans and court shoes. Not too creative or original, I know. After years of getting hundreds of free T-shirts from movie theatres and political campaigns, I now avoid clothing with snark or advertising printed on it.

Would typical Aspie clothing have: 1) no labels or other tags, 2) no cuffs, 3) all-cotton fabric, 4) probably Velcro fasteners, not laces, ties or buttons, and 5) some kind of bag for stuff and things.

For casualwear I normally wear a no-logo blank shirt or collared shirt with shorts or thin pants
I avoid jeans and sweatpants like the plague

Also something I see aspies do a lot is to bring there socks like halfway up there leg. Seriously nobody likes how that looks, it's something that makes me want to strangle someone when I see them doing, Just wear you're socks around you're ankles like most people

I got my own style - red, comfortable tops, dark jeans and red/black sneakers. So far I never had any problems because of it. Only my parents tell me I should wear less red things and use more girly clothes but I don't care. I am happy with what I wear.

I like to by cheapest comfy black cotton basics and then buy 2nd hand to try out new looks. I like bright colours and different textures. I have quite eclectic tastes but comfort is the real litmus test.

To be pragmatic about it people often aren't favored when they come across as willfully unappealing, it's almost treated at best as something akin to a weakness or at worst something like a personal failing rather than just a difference in taste since it probably comes across as not being concerned about social status.

99% of the time I'm either in my birthday suit or in scrub bottoms and bathrobe.

I just dress for comfort really shorts and tshirts and jeans when it's colder. Every now and then I will wear a skort or a skirt especially if it is warmer. They seem to be more comfy when it's hot. I also wear crocs and Keen sandals a lot.

Jeans, t-shirt and beige Fjällräven shirt.....for years.
