Appearance and Fashion Tips for Asperger's Men

That's why I started just wearing preppy clothes. I feel if I need to, I can express myself in ways other than my clothing. Clothes are just clothes.

That said, business casual is cool I guess, but I don't think it'd work for me around here, as my personality is too "serious" already. Also, even for job interviews, I had an interview at Radio Shack once, I wore a striped Polo shirt, black dress pants, and dress shoes, and the person interviewing me remarked I was way overdressed "Dude you have more expensive shoes on than I do." So yeah, I don't think it'd be good for me to dress in such a manner.

The whole style thing is pretty overrated. There are two important rules as far as I can tell make sure the clothes fit as well as you can afford and don't over do it

There's lots of ways to be unique within a general fashion style. Look at the millions of different styles of your suits there are, for example. Single breast or double breast? Then there's notch, peak, or shawl lapels. Wanna stand out in a crowd of guys wearing suits? Try an exotic color, such as orange. The same principles apply within each of those fairly broad fashion styles I listed. You can "stand out" within any kind of general fashion scheme.



It sort of does. Bear in mind, that business culture is pretty universal, that's why you see business style clothing everywhere. But you'll see that kind of clothing within circles of business people. People engrossed in corporate culture. That is a very different culture from the heavy metal crowd, for example, and it has very contrasting fashion sense. You show up in a suit that is NOT covered in skulls, spikes, studs, and chains to a heavy metal concert, and you WILL get lots of funny looks unless you've got the smoking beauty of a model or the charisma of Freddy Mercury.

I'll keep away from your gym then...

Ok, if you say so



What is "suit"? Is it this strange, ugly outfit worn by people repulsive for me?



That's why I like baggy clothes.
My body is somewhere there deep inside, and I'm confident in it



R-O-T-F-L
You know what? I know only one person who obtained nice body on gym - gym trainer (and owner) - but he trains for 7hours/day



My facial hair are allowed to grow like wild weeds, and I'm shaving them when I'm in mood



I don't like when someone touches my head. Period.



Hannibal Lecter counts? Freddie Crugger? Captain Jack Sparrow??
And why "hollywood standars"?
For me even dead badger looks better than "hollywood standard"



What's wrong with them?
They don't fit in "hollywood standard"?
I know I like them from some reason



Army green and army green and more army green and pale blue jeans counts as mixed colors??



R-O-T-F-L again
Watch the movie about Julius Cesar to become a great strategist



I'm wearing army/police style shades with optical inserts
Any problem with this?



One question - WHY?
To get fashionable skin cancer??



Again - watch Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to learn kung-fu



What will you tell me about BDU "jackets"



Dude, cut off stereotypes, Ok?
It will be better for all



Ooo, you exactly portray people repulsive for me
How do you guess?
Why should I look like a ***(bad language)*** corporate ***(bad language)***?????

You know what?
I look like taken from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. cosplay,

and I'm perfectly comfortable in it

Anything wrong in not following the fads?

Merely going to the gym without making any changes on your eating habits doesnt work for most people.
This is something that is backed up by most professional trainers. Going to the gym can be helpful but if you dont change your eating habits you are bound to go back to how you looked the minute you cant go to the gym.
Other meetings, some injuries can stop you from going to the gym in months(trust me I had to spend three months without stepping into a gym because "I put too much pressure on my left hip"(they had no clue what really happened, they said it looked broken but after three months they said that theres no way it´d be back again in three months...) and I wasnt doing any heavy exercises. When my mum asked the doctor she said I just had bad luck.
It could happen to anyone at anytime and I had the bad luck of having to go from university to home and from home to university for three months.

This didnt affect my weight but it was only because I had a healthy attitude about eating and I tried to keep myself as active as possible.

Well I am actually female, I meant I find that style more attractive on guys then the one suggested in this thread....though I admit I dress a lot like that quite a bit. Also where did I say people who listen to metal should conform to a certain style? I just find that style which happens to be associated with metal more attractive than suits and ties....but its not like I think you have to dress that way to listen to metal that would be ridiculous.

I think you got the wrong idea...being part of a subculture is not really about attempting to be different. It just so happens most sub-cultures deviate from the norm therefore people in them may be rather different then those who are more part of the mainstream culture. It doesn't really make one original, if one dresses like a typical metalhead for instance it more expresses that they are a metalhead which might help with meeting other metalheads.....same thing with any other sub-culture.

Also isn't dressing the way you suggest conforming to a specific standard? Besides the only time I really see people dressed like that is if I go to downtown around the corporate buildings or if I'm in a wealthy sort of area.......it would be rather out of place where I live if a guy was walking around in a suit and tie.

....but.... but I don't wanna' be a douchebag...

I'll stick to looking like Exhibit A.

See, clothing has far more of an impact on me. I'm for all body types (except very large).

I prefer the clothing in the picture the first guy is wearing, mainly because the others don't stand out enough to me. They look a bit plain, TBH. Having said that though, I *love* the business look with a dark jacket and trousers.

There's something hot about men who dress in black. Is that just a *me* thing or does anyone else agree?

In postsecret community theres a thread asking female members to post picture of certain parts of their body.
One of the male equivalent threads(they seem to think that there arent enough take a picture of yourself without a shirt/displaying certain parts of your body...) asks males to suit up(would send you a link but youd need an account) so Im going to assume that you are not alone in this

I tend to notice men who wear white shirts- maybe I find other colors distracting? It just makes their faces stand out. Same with black, but not nearly as much.

Australia isn't exactly London, New York, Paris or Milan. Let's face it, they aren't exactly leading authorities on fashion.



Not really, to be honest, there are plenty of people that wear suits in London and around this area but as the previous poster stated, you can express originality by wearing a suit but you still aren't being defined by a label. You can wear a maroon suit but you won't fall under any certain definition or label. You are creating a divide by creating a sub genre, if you listened to metal and didn't create a sub genre or fashion out of it, people would be more about the music than the image.

You won't get a girlfriend with that type of attitude.

That is your personal preference, this is to state a universal standard of fashion but it also depends on culture. You can still take some of these tips and apply them towards a poorer background such as looking presentable, going to the gym or finding a style that makes you more universally attractive.

This isn't about conformity or non conformity, it is about using fashion to show that you are confident and increasing your chances with women.

Body language is something that is visually learned, not through theory or audio so my point still stands that you can use demonstrations of body language to imitate it.

Are you serious?

My friend from studies always looks like a tramp and smokes a lot - and cause of this he was alone for many years - but then he meet a girl which looks as a tramp too, and is a chain-smoker. Now they are married
And it's not alone example

Even I - I was in relationship for quite a long time - and we break absolutely not because of my attitude or my "counter-style"
