How to dress as an aspie.

Post Reply New Topic

I always wear loose clothing. Jeans/ shorts usually. T-shirts a lot. Sweaters when it's below freezing.. I can't handle tight collared shirts... If the top of the collar is touching my neck/ throat, it's too constricting, so my t-shirts all have to have a low/ swooping neckline. In the fall, I will generally have jeans, striped or solid t-shirt, jacket and sperry boat shoes.

I like to wear unisex 60s type clothing pretty much like The Kinks worn in the 60s. I find the closest to that I can find. I don't care what the year or century is. I'm going to wear what I like. The fashion and gender police don't have to look at me.

Try wearing smaller casual socks that might help, ones that hardly go up to you're ankles. Also would you not get itchy in that?

if nudity were perfectly legal and accepted, how many here would wear their birthday suits in public?

No one can rock a lab coat like the Lab Pet

OK, so what's under the lab coat (besides fishnet stockings - kidding! Although I've done it occasionally)......well, I like pull-over tops &/or patterned tees and I often wear denim or coloured corduroy skirts with casual dress loafers. I used to hate jeans, but khakis are OK. Or something like that. At home I wear jammies and socks. I do not like the colour blue. I wear red and green and sometimes together (no, I'm not colour blind).

Not really, all my socks are cotton, and they've all been washed so many times that they're well worn and soft. You may have to post a picture of the socks you're trying to describe, because I'm not sure I understand. If you're referring to the "ankle socks" that just stop below the ankle-bones, they are the bane of my existence and I would like nothing more than to burn every pair in existence. Not to mention, the only shoes I wear (apart from sandals in the summer) are Converse high-tops, which rub the skin if it's not properly covered, making ankle socks and their kin all the more useless.

That's funny and it reminds me that I often wear one sleeve rolled-up and the other down.......once a co-worker commented (nicely), "either wear them both rolled-up up or both down!"

I think Aspies should individually dress in any way they want, as long as their attire is appropriate for the workplace.

I avoid wearing oversized baggy sagging jeans in public.

You make it sound like you have to show the world you're different. It's sort of like putting the horse before the cart.
Any person who dresses differently because they're Aspie doesn't think "I'm Aspie, therefore, I must dress differently to stand out!"
It's more the fact that because we're Aspie, we tend to be a little more off beat than other people and the ones who don't mind just being themselves, dress however they like. It's not for effect. It's us simply being us and allowing ourselves to be ourselves regardless of what anyone else thinks.

You make it sound like you're going to the Aspie club and are asking for dress code regulations

If you want to know how I dress, I wear a pirate suit all winter and a Mexican outlaw, poncho, sombrero, the lot all summer!

Just kidding

I wear loose floppy comfortable stuff. I couldn't give a toss about fashion. Never have! I like shorts (no undies - to restricting). I HATE woolen anything!! ! It's all scratchy and really sends me over the edge. Has done ever since I was a kid. Drives me mad.

what d'y'all think of my paisley jacket?

Lovely. I think it's wonderful. The colours are my favorites. (I like your camera too )

thanx I think the cordovan-colored Kodak sets off the blues of the paisley in a subtle yet effective manner.

For the most part I'm going to dress for comfort. The only thing that I prefer is bright colors. So I'll generally be wearing gym shorts, a brightly colored t shirt with something cute on it, and no shoes if I can get away with it. If I can't, I'll wear my bright blue ones, or the bright green ones with toes. This is generally what I wear to work. If I need to wear long pants, I've got a bright purple pair of jeans and a rainbow Lady Rainicorn belt. Oh, and I've also got several pairs of glasses I switch around. There is yellow, pink, purple, and orange.

If I have to dress up for whatever reason, I have a pink button down, a purple button down, and a green velvet one if I'm really feeling outgoing. If only I could find an actual colored sport coat. They're all black/brown/boring. Same thing with men's belts and shoes. I often find myself shopping in the women's section because men's is so boring.

A few years ago I tried out blue hair. But then I wore a bunch of blue because I wasn't really sure what else matched. lol

I still like to wear blue. I usually just wear a t-shirt and jeans, but I've been trying out dresses. I don't know what shoes to wear with them, but I only put on shoes if I have to, which could be why I go through so many socks.

Absolutely. How can anyone with a triple-figure IQ care about any of this nonsense? Full stop.

Isaac Asimov had a triple-figure IQ and he wrote a series of compendiums of dirty limericks, so it would seem with his good example, the rest of us triple-figure IQers should be able to muse on things sartorial, no? surely clothing is at least as highfalutin' a subject as are dirty limericks!
