How do you dress?

Neuroqueer

I've often made a few questionable choices with my clothes through the years and have often got it wrong. In the last year or so I've decided to go for comfort over conformity, and I've always been more attracted to bright colours rather than black, grey or beige and the muted tones that seem to be popular these days. I don't want to look like everyone else anymore.

My partner and I recently discovered a shop in Matlock Bath, Derbyshire, and they sell all sorts of cool clothes. It's hippie style so there are patchwork trousers, harem pants, and loose shirts and t-shirts, printed designs etc. I absolutely love it and it's what I wear now. I'm happy to be the weird guy wearing the hat, assorted coloured clothes and sandals or barefoot shoes.

What's your style and what do you like wearing?

  • During my teens I dressed to impressed. Tried to copy the fashion of the cool kids so they would accept me as one of them. That sadly never happened, I was too different and even if I had had the very latest fashion I still wouldn’t have been ‘cool’.

    So eventually I stopped trying to copy everyone else and focused on being true to myself. I wore the things I enjoyed, mostly t-shirts with cute animated characters on them, and jumpers. I’ve never liked the feel or style of jeans so I avoided them.

    Not cool though, so I got bullied a lot for that, as well as being autistic.

    My style now mostly consists of dresses, skirts, leggings, t shirts and jumpers. Sometimes leather jacket if I’m feeling it, but I don’t wear leather much because my skin is so sensitive. I don’t wear wool for the same reasons.
