How do you dress?

I wear what’s comfortable and what catches my eye, I like dopamine dressing, green is my most favourite colour ever so I wear everything green, then there’s days where I wear all black mainly fitted. I like to be unique 

I'm quite the opposite. I don't feel comfortable in loose clothes or bright colours. I always wear either a tight black shirt and leggings paired with gosford boots and a long black skirt or just a plain suit and tie. the only times I wear baggy clothes is either when I'm working (I work with animals) or if I'm doing something messy like outside work or painting. formal and funeral-wear are what I'm comfortable in (which has earned me the nickname 'Wednesday Addams' before I even knew about the Addams Family or Wednesday herself)

I wear whatever I have that is comfortable and inconspicuous.

For example, now I am wearing grey long johns and a grey jumper. 

If I need to go outside, I wear my cotton joggers, dark grey coat, blue woollen hat, and dark grey winter boots. I have raynaud's syndrome so I wear winter gloves all year but summer.

I prefer blue, black or grey. I dislike bright colours.

I remember when a child, my mom had to always remove the inside-labels of shirts but now I rarely notice this.

My favourite shoe shop has started selling thier winter boots in purple and teal, if they do a sale before xmas then maybe I could have one pair as a xmas present and then in the spring sales around my birthday I could have another pair as a present and have both colours!

Ive seen slot of people lately saying people are tricked by merch but tbh as an autistic person I find merch helps me express my intrests and can even be a way to meet people with similar interests 

I like baseball caps and I like those flat visor new era style ones too but they tend to mishapr easy and people freak out when I take thr sticker off and say it’s fake I mean A its only a sticker it looks better without and B I don’t care if it is fake 

I tend to have two modes plain/patern T-shirts is mode one perhaps with a weighted hoody

mode two is band T-shirt and band hoodies and perhaps the odd sports top 

i dont like designer labels but if I need  a new shirt for a day I’ll buy them if it’s the cheaper item on the day 

In recent years i have tended to prefer one type of shoe and will wear them even when worn down until I can sorce new ones the same 

my latest T-shirt I am getting will be a my chemical romance one 

I stick to soft fabrics and loose fits, tight stuff just feels wrong. I found a couple of comfy pieces from Frox of Falkirk that don’t itch or cling weirdly. I don’t care much about trends, but I do feel better when what I wear doesn’t stress me out. Layers help too, so I can adjust depending on how warm or cold I get, which changes a lot for me.

I can't stand wearing hats or cap's, my hair seems to throw them off, they sort of ride up my head until they blow away and I have hat head for ages after taking one off.

Another baseball cap pro:

- Keeps the rain off your glasses (if you're a wearer).

I had to switch from a baseball cap to a boonie hat. Turns out that my baseball cap provided little or no protection from sunlight to the side of my face.

I try to avoid bright clothes as my eyes are so sensitive to brightness.

I have recently realised that playing with colours / designs - only on my baseball cap - is the one area which I can comfortably accommodate brightness / bling - as a sort of concession (by that I mean; I appreciate colour / design / embellishments, but I really don't want to see it all the time, myself ...so, if I wear it on my head - generally, I cannot see it myself all that often!).

A baseball cap wins for a range of reasons, including:

- limits sunlight impact when driving,

- can still easily wear over the ear hybrid / active noise cancelling headphones, or ear defenders,

- indoors in commercial premises it helps to mitigate bright overhead lighting,

- keeps my hair off my face,

- if I attend an event where I would prefer not to feature in photos showing my face; I say so as I arrive and the baseball cap makes it easier for people taking photos to spot me and wait until I have turned away from their direction,

- helps to reduce the sun impact on my fussy facial skin (I get adverse reactions to many sunscreen products),

- easy to fold the crown into the peak / brim and stash the baseball hat in the pocket of a bag or backpack,

- my direct eye gaze towards someone / lack there of if I am taking a break by looking toward one side is a bit less apparent (as people still see the peak / brim of the baseball hat is facing their direction - which, by listening, is where my attention is likely still focussed).

I have found that not all baseball caps are equal - when it comes to their shape / style / fit. 

For general wear ability; I find the 6 panel cotton ones by Beechfield tick my shopping list (fit me comfortably, readily available, reasonably priced, can be obtained online for delivery at home, a broad choice of colour options).

I’m usually in a cardigan, I just love cardigans, my favourite one I have 4 times, and I do that with most cardigans or jumpers I like. I just buy multiple so if one gets damaged or wrecked, I've got a back up multiple times haha. I usually have a t shirt underneath or a check shirt, but I do occasionally wear tank tops with a white t shirt underneath if the weather is a bit warmer. Most of my stuff is black or grey, but I am a sucker for purple, which is my favourite colour. When the sun is out and strong, I do wear my flat cap, firstly because I can’t stand the feel of the sun on me, and second to protect my balding head heh heh 

I wear fruit of the loom t shirts, jeans and normally have a baseball cap on. I always wear dull colours, black, grey or dark colours like blue. I try to avoid bright clothes as my eyes are so sensitive to brightness.

I tend to wear baggier clothing, nothing I feel is too revealing as I’m very self conscious and I have been accused of not being slim and perfect so yeah. Don’t really care for brands, just as long as I feel comfortable 

I wear casual clothing most of the time, mainly hoodies, t-shirts and jeans. Also, I do not like wool as it is too rough on my skin.I dress mainly just for comfort.

I wear the same hoodie, oversized top and either leggins/trackies pretty much everyday. I would say I have like 2 hoodies, tops and bottoms that are comfy so I can rotate and wash them. Its mostly F1 merch and summer is a struggle as I loveee my hoodie! 

That is an excellent thing you have found a way to be and express yourself. Something that I have trouble doing due to fears of other people’s judgement.

I support buying second hand as there is so much fast fashion now

I wear sweatpants all the time as they are comfortable and don’t cause me any sensory issues. And graphic t-shirts, mostly with Japanese aesthetics.

i feel so similarly , after so many years of masking and conforming to what everyone else dressed like , it felt like i lost my identity and didn’t really know my own personal style or things i like 

one of my special interests and something i feel strongly about is environmental welfare and issues , so i love getting my clothes second hand or from sustainable sources ( lucy and yak is my personal favourite , super comfy / sensory friendly and really cute ! ) i don’t like being boxed into a ‘niche’ or ‘aesthetic’ so i just pick up pieces i like and it’s so much more freeing than conforming to everyone else 

The same three shirts, one pair of trousers, and three different pairs of shoes. All black ofc
