I alternate my clothes a lot. I'll switch between about 5 or 6 pairs of pants (sometimes a skirt, sometimes spandex) with a lot of different shirts. I can't wear the same pants 2 days in a row or the same shirt until a few weeks later. I will wear the same sweater a few times a week though, I have a few button up sweaters and cardigans that I love.

Apart from some of the shirts, my clothes are pretty well fitted. I alter my pants a lot because I love the way skinny pants look but I don't have the money to spend on them - also most pants are too long for me, so this works out perfectly. It gives me nice control over the way my clothes fit.

I love colors, proportion, and patterns too. I have a lot of sheer shirts that I will layer patterns over and under and it looks pretty cool. Love playing around with them. I love scarves, heels and hats. Anything fashion related I am in love with.

mostly jeans and tshirts and tanktops.... cotton. I rarely wear any other kind of fabric. I have enough jeans that will last about two weeks. Most of my shirts are a primary color, or pink . On a chilly day, throw on a hooded jacket, comfy socks, some Dr martens and we are good to go. Of course, on a hot day, you will most likely see me in a cotton sundress and some Docs sandals. I love a good summer breeze blowing on my knees.

I wear mainly navy blue and black, always rugby type shorts with and elastic waste, about 2-3 sizes too big for me. I wear tshirts or long sleeve type tshirts, in black or navy blue. Everything has to be cotton, I can deal with it being 90% but no less. When I find these items in the store I usually buy large quantities, because it often takes awhile to find ones that feel right. I only wear my clothes one day before they have to be washed, however with age I am relenting on that a little, and if under duress (laundry wasn't done because we were too busy), then I'll give in and possibly wear my shorts for one more day, but not my shirts (I have issues with the smell of body odours, even my own, I generally shower 2-3 times a day). I wear really thick soled socks, and I change those at least three times a day. Absolutely no tags, however with age I have managed to control myself, I don't go totally ballistic like I did when I was younger.
When I was younger was a totally different story, and unfortunately my youngest daughter is very similar.

Except for work, where I have to wear what everyone else wears, of course, I've started to wear only white cotton T-shirts (short or long-sleeved, depending on the weather) and jeans or training pants. Trainer shoes or sandals. That's what feels good to me, and since I have nobody to meet outside work, then why wear what others like.

I've also noticed that I can wear some things I like for 15 years and still counting.

What about you?


Yep. Cotton t-shirts if it's warm, a hoodie over a t-shirt if it is cold. Adidas or Nike pants if it is cold, shorts if it is warm. Flip flops when warm, sneakers when cool. I hate the bulk of boots and winter coats so I pretty much dress the same whether it's 20 or 50 outside. When it's 60 or above, count on finding me in shorts.

I'm either wearing jeans or my black pants for work. Nothing I wear is too big or too tight, because I'm very picky and I can't stand either. I basically wear two pairs of shoes. I have several jackets I trade out depending on the weather. Trading out my jackets is sometimes irritating because I always put my pens in my jacket pockets so I sometimes don't have a pen.

Buildings are usually cold, so you'll find me in a jacket even during the summer (though it will be a thin jacket).

In winter I go from one pair of clean pyjamas to another since my health is often at its worst in the colder months.

When I am dressed it is in comfortable clothing in the preferred colour of the season. I can get really stuck on wearing the same outfit every day. I like the clothes I have had for years - it takes a while to get used to new clothing, its kind of distracting.

I have a handfull of favorite t-shirts, pants, and shorts. I won't get too detailed about underwear, but buy only for comfort. Don't get why other girls are so interested in wearing thongs all the time. I'd just as soon shove toothpicks into my fingernails. I usually have to buy expensive socks in athletic stores. Ordinary socks for women usually have that seam, or are just made poorly.

I just ordered my favorite pair of shoes off the internet a second time because the heels were wearing down in my other ones. They're blue/grey Teva Gammas, so they're a little bit expensive for ordinary athletic shoes, but they're my favorite. I like how they look, and especially like how they feel. I should've ordered a couple more pairs because it looks like they've become discontinued.

I am of those that likely dresses too young for my age(30s). I usually wear jeans and a t-shirt with a logo that is probably intended for college kids, along with a ball cap most of the time. It's funny, back when I was at that age, I think I dressed more conservatively-like a 30 yr old professionial. I keep expecting to grow up one of these days, but I am not holding my breath.

Black.

And a lot of hoodies.

I do own a parka-like jacket which I would wear all year long provided summers weren't brutal.

I've found that I feel most at ease in a charcoal colored ski-hat, a big baggy black hoodie and black pants and whatever shoes happen to match. I also am partially obsessed with Victoria's Secret and enjoy having a hidden girlie side underneath my clothing. But I do not like clothes that cling to me and provide an accurate representation of the shape of my body. I do not like them, sam i am.

Soft, loose cotton things without lumps or labels that scratch. I had a shirt when I was a kid that had a neck seam sewn with a clear thread that looked like fishing line and scratched. I used to hide it because I was afraid I would scream when I wore it. I still shiver when I remember it. It hurt. Why would they put that in clothes? It would rub the skin away.

One pair of boots. They seem to be appropriate as much in Corporate America as around a Pagan Bonfire.

Generally 2-3 pairs of slacks, black or blue, for work.

Generally 2-3 pairs of jeans for casual wear and saturday night.

I have a drawerful of T-Shirts, but generally I wear the same three or four and the rest get raided by wife and/or daughters.

I have several Corporate-Shirts, but have to be reminded that if I wear my second red Bank of America shirt the night after I wear the first, it looks bad.

If I have to wear clothes, I prefer my shirts to have pockets because I like having places to carry things.

Given my choice, though, clothes would be strictly for when you need to carry things or keep your butt warm.

With a few exceptions (including a couple of kilts, dress shirts and sweaters) I wear black military surplus cargo pants with plain black, non-pocketed t-shirts and a black military surplus jacket. I own a two week supply of this same outfit and one pair of matching boots. If my wardrobe gets more diverse than that, I'm not comfortable in my own clothes and I spend more time reorganizing the closet than I do getting dressed every morning.

I have three sets of clothes, and I just discovered clothing happiness:
1. Work clothes for my craft job (postal clerk) Dark colored t shirts and jeans
2. Work clothes for management (LOL they are letting an Aspie supervise? This should be good) Dark colored trousers and fitted cotton collared shirts.
3. Fun clothes , tops with embroidery, jeans or shorts.
