Do people with aspergers have a certain dress sense?

Grunge-inspired, but appropriate to the venue and cleaned regularly.

I have gotten in trouble, for wearing sandals on a very-hot tractor, but what difference does it make, if you run into a tree. Naturally-tan, and minimally clothed, when I can.

Comfortable, mid rise skinnys, slim fit bootleg. Anything cotton, and things I think match both my inward thinking persona. I have mild extrovert taste too. That doesn't mean I'll go out dressed in a bikini but I might hide it under a T.

I like open collars completely away from my neck, and low-cut socks and shoes (below the ankle), even if I'm not wearing shorts. I'm too self-conscious to wear any sort of print, but I like to have at least a vague sense of being out of the mainstream.

I like what I like; if I love a shirt I'll buy 7 of them in different colors. Currently I like flashy stuff, creative stuff, stimulating stuff, but not certain materials. I like stuff that doesn't have to be ironed, but I do spend some time putting together some crazy but matching outfits. Right now I'm wearing 6 or 7 different patterns but the colors all match.

I've noticed a lot of AS people dress for comfort. Clothing that could trigger a sensory overload (usually harsher material such as jeans or cords) is out of the question.

But that isn't always the case of course, I used to dress for comfort as a kid, then I got a preference for dressing smart (suit, tie, the works), then I favoured dressing casual and now I'm back to dressing for comfort. Harem trousers are a lifesaver in hot weather.

I wear lots of green, especially pea green. I also have a self-made German helmet that I like to wear that's field blue. It was either that, or dye my hair blue. I keep the real helmet at home for decoration. Green gives me that Sweet Pea feeling of calmness.

I don't like long sleeves, or long pants. I'm most comfortable in shorts and a tank. If I get into a situation where I can't get away with my preferred choice of clothing, I can tolerate short sleeves as long as the shirt fits me properly and the sleeves end a little above mid-bicep, and either dress slacks or track pants. Short length can be anywhere above the knee. I also like my clothes to be in good condition.

The well dressed aspie male always wears a plaid shirt with a pair of plaid pants. And always has one shirt tail tucked in, and one shirt tail hanging out untucked.

Everything else is optional.

Crossdressing

Loose fitting

Sagging pants make ghetto lil riffraff try to buy drugs from me

Basketball shorts

Within the past three years or so, started to prefer long pants and sleeves at all times, except sleeping

Sports bra

Compression vest uncomfortable and expensive

Hi.
I like wearing fitted clothes in a jersey stretchy style. I'm not keen on blouses or shirts. They annoy me. Fitted t-shirts and tube skirts are great. I'm an hourglass shape so I feel tidier with this style. I love my dresses. I wear a lot of black. When I'm calm I like wearing red. Anything around my neck is sometimes uncomfortable. I wear heels, as flats make me walk on tip toe. I like the classic pencil dress Fifties style.
