I wear a black jumper and jeans. If I'm feeling like wearing something different, I wear a blue jumper.

I dress like most of the other NT girls. But I was told that I'm a high-functioning Aspie, so that might be the case.

I'm one of those aspies who don't wear the same clothes. I have different clothes and I wear them but I have so many other clothes I don't even wear or hardly wear. I like to make my clothes match and I think some of them are worn but I don't care. They don't have holes in them. When clothing is very thin, it's a sign of being worn out. I even still have clothes from high school.

I wear the same clothes every day. I have terrible tactile sensory issues, so I must tailor every article of clothing to my sensory issues. I wear elastic jeans (I can't wear pants with zippers) and a baggy T-shirt (anything tight aggravates me) 99% of the time. I, too, wear my clothes until they are rags and must be thrown out. I have several T-shirts I bought about nine years ago that I still frequently wear. For shoes, I wear tennis shoes that are flat on the ground and don't have arch support. I can't stand that sole-arch thing that normal tennis shoes/sneakers have. I never wear socks. They are pointless, in my opinion, and they just add extra sensory info. I take off my shoes whenever I can, because they, too, are extra sensory info.

I'm interested in fashion from the 1920s to early 1960s because I think it's very pretty. But I couldn't care less about being fashionable myself. I dress for comfort. That's my only objective. And even in my ideal clothing, I still often have sensory issue problems. I never stop "feeling" my clothes. I have never been able to habituate to it.

Like Cayce from "Pattern Recognition"? :lol: (I don't have that specific problem, with me it's really just the textures. But I always thought Cayce was showing some traits associated with the spectrum...)

I hope you wash them regularly. (The clothes, not the people.)

I'm wearing always the same type of clothing: jeans, T-shirt and pull-over. Most of the time they are just plain and certainly not in a screamy please-look-at-me way. I like neutral clothes that aren't drawing attention to me.

There are some things I don't wear: shirts and suits (it doesn't feel comfortable and I feel silly in it), neck-ties (i'm very sensible at my neck and throat) and woollen clothes. In the past I was also sensible for the labels in clothing, but nowadays I can bear them.

There aren't too many fabrics in themselves I have issues with. Wool and wool mixes make me constantly itch. I cannot bear to touch the stretchy nylon that standard women's nylons are made of; even just looking at it for too long and imagining what it feels like makes me feel sick. Mostly, though, it is the fit of clothes that I'm very particular about. I can't say, "I prefer a loose fit, period," or, "I prefer a tight fit, period," because it can vary depending on the item and where on the body it is tight or loose.

I can't wear ordinary full-length trousers, only cropped styles, because the feel of fabric flapping around and trailing on my feet is no good. Basically anything around my feet and ankles, shoes, socks, needs to be tight-laced/tight-fitting. Any excess material or movement is intolerable. I don't like long sleeves (coats are the only exception for some reason) because material either flapping around or constricting my wrists is similarly intolerable. Too high in the neck is also no good. Any kind of seam or fastening that I'm conscious of is no good. I cannot walk in any kind of shoe with a heel.

That something is comfortable for me is far more important than how it looks, which seems to be the opposite of most NTs. Perhaps if I were trying to impress a specific person I might choose a little more carefully, but I'm afraid that if I found something uncomfortable, it would be out of the question no matter how 'good' it looked. I would simply be taking more care to look for items that were both comfortable and pleasing to me and visually acceptable to them.


I agree completely, that's why I can't wear normal T-shirts, the collar on them sits at just the right spot to be completely annoying, and I'm always pulling it away from my neck. Strange thing is, I have absolutely no problems wearning a shirt and tie when I need to (like a job interview, or for the short time I was actually working in the court). I need more snug fitting clothes around my um, parts, that's why I wear things that aren't normal for guys. Ever since I started wearing boots, I actually like them, as long as I can keep them snug on my feet and ankles. This makes it easier when I go on deployment, because my boots are already broken in. And, I agree, my socks need to fit right, too. I can't stand the way jeans feel on my legs. For some reason, a collared shirt pulls it away, and is much more comfy.

If I went for style, I'd look very eccentric indeed from what I'd choose, so I can't help with integration. But my "work" clothes (as a mommy/writer/painter) are jeans and a t-shirt with sneakers and a ponytail. I don't even wear the popular mommy clothes because they are SO ugly right now. I am also heavier than I want, enough so that combined with my height it makes it hard to find clothes that look great. I can find my size, just not flattering styles. So I keep it simple. I'm constantly tugging my clothes into the right place anyway, so it has to be simple. Even one extra layer can drive me crazy.

I do dress up a little more on Sundays, church after all, but even then I have a simple wardrobe, a clean blouse, skirt, pantyhose (ugh) and dress shoes, almost the same every week. I don't go to church to look fancy, after all.

I mostly wear t-shirts with regular jeans. They're mostly small because I have a small waist size and body. I try to get pants that are more form fitting, at the same time buying pants that are more loose just in case my parents decide to visit.

I work in a somewhat conservative professional environment, but I was relatively lucky that my daily attire qualified as business casual anyhow. I usually wear khaki trousers and an oxford cloth or pinpoint button-down collar dress shirt in white, french blue, or pink. And then I wear argyle socks and a pair of loafers (they're brown today). Today I'm also wearing a green and navy striped tie and a navy blazer (meetings/presentations).
