| I can't wear jumpers/t-shirts/shirts which sit "too tight". That makes me feel trapped and like they're sitting all wrong and weird. Can't stand it. |

Starting with footwear- Very picky about how shoes feel. Pinching and heel rubbing are not acceptable. I only really wear croc chef shoes, regular crocs, occasionally sneakers, and dansko clogs. I know they aren't very attractive shoes but I have big feet and the shoes have to work for me.
Socks- must be same type. I have lots of little cotton footie socks in different colors. Those can be mixed and matched because they are the same type.
I only like pants that are cut for my shape and that don't bind or or sag or pinch anywhere. It isn't easy to find those pants!  I wear lots of black lounge pants, not quite sweats or yoga, but like dressy pj pants.
I rarely wear skirts, but when I do, I wear them over my black lounge pants.
Shirts- Layers in cotton. Utilitarian/quirky styling. I'm a 6 ft tall woman, and it is easier to just skip all the frou frou frills and bunched lace and pointless decals. I don't like clothes that have branding emblazoned on them. Shirts can't bind under the arms or be too short. Ugh. If I can feel the shirt cling or climb up when I breathe in deeply, it gets torn off. (in my bedroom of course.  )
I usually wear sweatshirts. Some hoodies, but mostly like boating type cotton sweatshirts. Cut conservative, with long sleeves and wide necks. I often wear scarves, even when it is warm out. There is something comforting about having one's neck protected. I like to burrow my chin into the scarf like a little turtle.
Don't care for hats. They look ridiculous on me.
Items of clothes I can't stand - high heels. it is just torture.
- tight underwear
- pants that slide down when you bend over
- shirts that are cut for women who are 5'5" or shorter.
- clothes that are hard to get out of. I get overheated very fast, and if I can't take off a
layer gracefully and asap, it just doesn't get worn.
- anything that binds or feels tight to breathe in. |

Same. Can't walk in heels. Actually, can't walk in most footwear any more.  |

This is an interesting thread! We all have a lot in common and yet a lot of little differences.
I can't wear heels either, I can't walk in them. I like wearing converse-style trainers.
I also don't like the colour orange...! I don't like wearing colours most of the time. Just black.
I hate having clothes around my neck, like round-neck t shirts and polo-neck jumpers. In the winter I'll wear something low-cut/slash-neck-style and then a scarf. I feel much better if I can quickly remove things.
Along the same lines I hate anything thick, I'd rather wear a few thin layers than one thick item.
I hate jeans, I can never find a comfortable pair. They always fall down off my bum when I bend over...! Unless they've got an elasticated waist (best invention ever... although I think they're meant to be maternity jeans... )
When I was a little girl I hated girly clothes, but I've since grown to love them. I like wearing dresses, especially empire-waist dresses. Nice, loose-fitting ones are best. I have no interest in looking 'sexy', but girly is fun. A nice elasticated/shirred, loose dress is the queen of comfort! I can even put up with wearing tights if I'm wearing a comfortable dress - just look out for the biggest size one can find, and turn them inside out to avoid those pesky seams in the toes... Though I do look a little silly wearing trainers with it, I just pretend I'm setting a trend. I also like having flowers in my hair, but I won't wear jewellery, except maybe a light, simple necklace if I remember to put one on.
Also, when I was little, I would wear my socks inside out, I wouldn't wear underpants with lace on cause it would hurt, and I got my mum to cut all my tags out and unpick the 'stub' cause I'd still be able to feel it. I don't usually notice these things too much as an adult, but I did wear a pair of jeans the other day with a label on the inside that I swear was made from knives.
I also love a brand new pair of socks fresh out of the packet. There's nothing better.
I'm more comfortable wearing a bra, than not wearing one. It has to be really tight, though, and it's a nightmare finding a comfortable one in the first place... |
