What kind of clothes do you wear? Are they "normal"

Post Reply New Topic

Just to get any of the cultural borcht out of the way I'm in England, the north specifically and I'm a massive hippie, waist length hair a few bits of hemp clothing etc. I only wear clothes that are about a size too large for me and everything is really colourful, people are always saying stuff like "looks like a rainbow threw up on you" etc. Does anyone else wear unusual clothes? Baggy or tight, colourful or dull etc.

I can't stand to wear anything to bright or colorful so it's usually black, olive green, dark blue or dark red. Flannel shirts might be an exception. I hate anything tight and I prefer cotton clothes, corduroy, and yes, flannel.
Until recently I hated jeans but now, I can wear them.

I forgot about jeans! I have, like, two pairs and the rest are custom made woven cotton or hemp trousers going all the way across the spectrum. I forgot to say, any specific feelings to tags in clothing? I can't stand them.

Up until my 20'is I hated those tags, and I was rather dramatic about them. It seems I grew out of it as it doesn't bother me any more... But alas, I am allergic to my own facial hair

I like patterned clothes (stripes, polka dots, flowers, butterflies...). When I get dressed I'm usually too lazy to try to match the patterns with "appropriate" colours so I often end up matching all the wrong different patterns together. I've been told I dress like if I bought my clothes in second-hand shops, like a communist (?) and, when I was younger and used to wear a lot of black, like a lesbian (???). I like my style, though. Also, I used to really love jeans but now I hate them - dunno why I didn't even put on weight, so I only wear dresses and cotton skirts, all of which pretty baggy. And skater shoes.

You can't have a beard! Oh god, I'm so sorry!

I wear black jeans that are a little tight, black t-shirts with comic book characters and/or symbols, movie/television characters, or video game characters/symbols on them. My footwear usually consists of colorful socks (that nobody sees) and black, goth boots. And I'm usually wearing a hoodie...and it's usually black. My hair is a little longer than shoulder-length, and it's either loose or in a ponytail.

I also rip the tags off all my t-shirts.

If you don't like my Bugs Bunny costume, that's your problem.

First off coconuts I know exactly what you're saying about colours that "match" (although buying second hand clothes is like, totally indie etc.}. on a similar note, I've always liked to draw attention, in typical aspie style I'm either all in our not at all.

I like colours - I've been told many times that I "look like a neon sign".

I cannot stand to wear anything but natural fibers. My clothes have to "breathe", and I wear them at least a size too large. (I put on weight when I hit 40, so it gets harder to maintain this, but when I supposedly took a size S shirt, I'd buy XL because I like them that floppy. And I'm trying to shed those pounds; it feels great to have my clothes getting looser again.) But I cinch my belt in very tight, and tie my shoes tightly; those are the two exceptions to the "loose" rule, as otherwise I'll feel as if my pants are about to slide off me and my shoes flop off my feet.

I get so many comments, because I'm never in fashion - but I have never understood why anyone would ever think I might possibly want to be fashionable. I want to wear clothes that are, first of all, comfortable for me, second, useful (I like a lot of pockets), and as much as possible, look the way I prefer to. Not the way some changing standard says I "ought" to look.

I like natural fibers, too. I usually wear what's comfortable. I sleep in men's boxer shorts because the stuff they sell for women to sleep in is so uncomfortable with itchy lace and things. My fiance thinks I look cute in them, BTW. I also own a couple of men's over sized flannel shirts, and a pair of women's black leather riding boots. Men's things are so much more comfortable and have plenty of pockets! Sometimes people try to make assumptions based upon how I am dressed, and they are usually wrong. I don't give a hang about the latest styles.

I like clothes with lots of pockets, like fishing vests.

I like soft furry pants.

I like to wear hats.

Natural fibres and dark/muted colours, basically. Not too tight.

T shirts and jean shorts are the only things I will wear. Even in the dead of winter....
