But yes, I agree... impractical.

You're looking for an excuse to dirt your trousers? Surely you don't need any excuse.

I find you to not be vomitly at all! Not even a little bit


My Strategy (like always):
1. I have to wash clothes
2. My trousers are dirty, so I wash them with all
3. I have to go to drugstore
4. I don't want to dirt clean pair
5. So I will do clothwashing when I'm back
6. Because I prefer to make dirty trousers more dirty than use clean
7. The less dirty things, the better

How people can think my clothes are dirty if they're only the same like yesterday but not really dirty (with stains or swear)? I don't wear dirty clothes. And I know that people's hygiene level is lower than mine (I am body-cleaning-compulsive). Nonsense.

I am practical. People buy pretty things, I prefer quality and usability. Beauty can be only feature.

Ok, I understand more clearly now.

My strategy is this. I don't wear dirty clothes either, but social protocol says don't wear the same thing two days, so I follow the protocol even when I don't want to. Sometimes I go at least a couple weeks without washing anything, I simply cycle the clothes I have and hang them back up. I can usually wear something several times before it gets dirty, unless I'm eating Italian food. I'm not a person who tends to follow protocol, but I understand when I'm not going to win the battle, and I improvise.

I prefer practicality and usability too, but I find that beauty can often accompany those things.

Let's see. Well, for a start, I like to wear things for weeks on end. No one's ever complained. I guess I'm naturally stinkless.

I have very few clothes. I like combat trousers, because they have tons of pockets for keeping the vast array of things I like to have close to hand. Notepads, pens, keys, knife, liquorice sticks, herbs, inhaler etc.

I favour plain, single colour clothes, which must be odd judging by the amount of people going around with crazy brand names massively and garishly emblazoned on everything they wear. I naturally gravitate to neutral colours. Colourful colours make me look weird.

I often wear things long after they are reasonably wearable. Massive holes in jeans, shoes. My current jacket has a big hole at the elbow, and I haven't got around to learning how to sew it up yet. Nobody seems to care.

When I was younger I used to deliberately ruin clothes by smearing them with paint or shredding bits of them, or stapling bits of paper to them. I used to do things like wearing two shirts, buttoning one into the other. I used to wear a rollerskate sock on my head. Another fad I had was wearing multiple watches on both arms. I was a style iconoclast. No one ever followed my trends. The fools!

Yeah, AS individuals are known for quirky clothing habits. I'm not much different.

I wear the same clothes often. I used to wear and sleep in the same clothes but I've managed to change that. I now change into "inside clothes" when I am done going places for the day, to help keep my outside clothes cleaner longer. I usually pick what I like and wear it until it's unwearable.

I tend to wear my leather coat everywhere. Even on hot sunny days. People will ask me, "Aren't you hot in that?" Sure am! Although it doesn't bother me so much, especially when I'm not comfortable without my coat.

I don't own a lot of clothes anyway. I want to expand my clothe collection though. Mostly socks. I only want to expand the collection to reduce the required amount of clothe washing (less often). I don't pick clothes for fashion. I've always dressed for comfort. I don't think I look bad or anything. Jeans, a t-shirt, my leather jacket. I like dark colors, and usually my shirt is just one solid color with nothing special on it. By dark colors, I don't mean just black. It can be anything, like a dark green, red, or blue. Just dark versions of mostly any color. They feel nicer and more comfortable for me to just look at, so I prefer to wear it!

Anybody wears industrie-accessories? For example sometimes I wear cables as a belt. I have rucksack with nails and screwpads stucked. I paste an isolation-tape on my trousers or as a bracelet.

Sometimes I wish I was skinny I-bodyshaped person. I could stylize myself as Android - black, silver and blue with dark make-up, industrie-accessories etc. But I am X-bodyshaped (like Beyonce or sth) and it doesn't look so Industrie.

All my life I dream about Matrix-like coat :D

I can only tolerate 2 layers of clothing (3 if the fabrics are very light) because I get hot very easily no matter the weather and I hate sweating. I don't wear heavy clothing because it impedes my movement too much. I wear clothes for as long as possible, sometimes for a week if I remain BO-free (not underwear and socks of course).
Turtle necks and scarfs are incredibly uncomfortable, and I only wear a scarf when it's freezing and windy/I have to ride my bike.

I have to wear wide shoes because of the way my feet are shaped (generally skater shoes), I also wear shoes for a very long time, averaging about 5 years a pair, wearing them every day; the pair I have now has served me for almost 8 years now but the heels have been completely worn out.

I'm a t-shirt and jeans sort of teenager, which is pretty much a weird clothing sense when everyone else wears tank tops and short skirts. I like plain, loose t-shirts and loose jeans/long pants

I also prefer sports shoes to flats/high heeled shoes. Again makes me weird because most teenagers only want to wear sports shoes to school and never anywhere else

I also like the winter because it means I can dress heavily and I like winter clothes.
Summertime clothes are too light for me and I get burnt easily so they are very impractical.

I like fashion (I like to draw projects) but I don't have patience for it. And time on the morning.

I don't wear anything with a logo on it. It's one of my peculiarities.

I understand most aspies do not like cars, but I drive:

Image

'Satin' black... pretty close to flat. The photo itself is an acquaintance of mine, Alan, we both drive the same car.

I also have a friend with:

Image

Flat black Rolls Royce. I talk about it on another forum :P

Personally, right now, I am wearing bright orange. I'm not sure what's wrong with me today.

You missed. It's topic about clothes. About cars is here.

Order must be!

I could wear jeans for a few years in middle/high school, but in the past 4 or 5 days they've hurt my legs again and I've quit wearing them. Luckily, I've found some jean leggings (I love leggings) that are actually in style! I'm so excited to be able to go out and look "normal," rather than always living in sweats (which also started to bother my legs) or black leggings.

I, too, wear things for days at a time and hate the feeling of freshly-cleaned clothes. Shudder.

I can't wear shoes that make high heel "clump clump" sound (think teachers). I have shoes altered so they are quiet. And if my feet are uncomfortable, there will be no progress in anything I do. I can't even think like that.

Also, the colors I wear are extremely important. And the textures. I sleep in my clothes inside out if they have tags, just in case. And if my belly gets wet I absolutely must change my shirt immediately. Same goes for socks....of which I have more than 200 pairs. :)
