How do you dress?

Edwardian clothes were cool!

Haha, that is fantastic



Yes, I think I'm similar. It's not about wanting other people to view me as different; I don't think about other people when I pick my outfits. It's about how I want to dress for myself, and psychologically I think it's also a way of coping with my difference. I am different anyway, I am separate, so I just dress for myself. That way I don't mind stares if I get them - I'm not above taking a compliment though



Hey, just embrace it. I feel pretty cool in mine plus they form a kind of barrier between you and social interactions should you ever need one.

In the UK there is a menswear shop called Greenwoods. If you are middle aged or older, you can go in there and all your taste decisions have been made for you, and you can come out looking like a Geography Master.

I'd prefer (cash permitting) to look like a latex Mozart or Durand Durand, or perhaps sport a Class War t shirt, but it is much easier to settle for a conservatively casual look in earth and weather colours and stroll along ignored by all and unthreatening to no one.

Some of the worst persecutors from the fashion police are teenagers, but interestingly, if you look like a Geography Master even they leave you alone.

Soft loose fitting stuff. Usually just t-shirt and jeans and always a hoddie unless it's blazing hot.

Geography Master? I Google image searched that and didn't find any examples.

I like the Oxford Don look, too.....maybe this has something to do with the fact that my name is Don.

What about this Don?

Nah....I want to live to be a ripe old age LOL

At least, at Oxford, I could live to be a ripe old age in the Ivory Tower.

I only shop in the men's section nowadays because it's the only place where clothes are designed to be practical - pockets, comfort and actually cover everything. I got so fed up with women's clothes that just make everything tight and uncomfortable and seem only to cater to the male gaze.
I'll usually wear chinos (the pockets are big enough to fit both hands!!) with a t-shirt and a knitted jumper. I don't tend to wear bright colours but that's more so that things don't clash and look ridiculous.

I dress for comfort and fit:

Usually skinny jeans, or jean shorts/cargo shorts
flannelette or other cotton button up shirt (must be cotton)
Cotton singlet underneath.
Sometimes wear t-shirts, but they've got to be soft, well worn ones that I've owned forever
Hoodies - either long-sleeved or vest types.
I have a few cotton jackets that I like.
I rarely buy new clothes.

I'm a 60 year old Englishman and it's obvious to me - didn't stop to think I might be being out of date.

Walter White from Breaking Bad before he went badass sort of thing, respectable but not too formal. Hope I'm not being out of date again, which is entirely possible.

I like to wear XXXL sized men's T-shirts because they're the only shirts that fit me and they're comfortable. I usually like to wear pea green and military colours. I also like certain shades of blue as well. I also like to wear Schultz, my helmet when I'm out and about during my free time.

I usually wear jeans and a Windcheater or when its hot a t shirt with jeans, especially Purple t shirts.

I wear what I like, generally. Sometimes what I like looks weird and makes me stand out, and sometimes it doesn't.

Black skinny jeans, black hoodies, black sneakers, black big back pack.
I'm too lazy to choose other colors or styles..at this point of my life.

Long skirts or trousers with pockets, shirt type varying according to weather, and often (especially at work) a blazer or cardigan sweater for additional warmth and pockets. I wear nearly any color but most of my favorite clothing is black or dark colors.

Typically just a basic t-shirt and sweatpants for me. I find clothing styles and all that to be very boring, so I tend to just not care at all and will just wear those two things and that's about it.

So that isnt what people notice. What they notice is instead the 2-foot long epic keychain that's wrapped around my arm/wrist whenever I'm out of the house. I suppose in a way, that thing is part of my outfit too. If my hands are full I'll often just have it draped around my neck, though I prefer not to do this because my hair can get caught in the blasted thing. This is as ridiculous as it sounds.

Amusingly, the huge keychain only has 2 actual keys on it. One of which goes to a lock that no longer exists.
