Attire – decoded

Post Reply New Topic

I think part of this (most of this) was targeted towards Aspies looking for NT dates. The normal isn't going to apply for aspie girls as it is for NT girls, and most if not all aspies I know, (Here or otherwise) are looking for AS dates. Like the shoe thing. I would never in a million years notice a shoe. Unless it was a suit with sneakers and then I'd say it's tacky. I don't givea hoot what shoes he wears.

Speaking as an aspie female...

I am SO glad I stumbled upon an aspie male. Most fashion annoys me, and I dislike seeing someone else look uncomfortable almost as much as I dislike being uncomfortable. And it's funny, he says he loves seeing me in sweats (which actually, I rarely wear) because I look comfortable, and for him comfortable equates to sexy. "Who can feel sexy with a wedgie?" he asked. I don't know, apparently a lot of people. Not me, but then, with him, I don't have to

This isn't to say I don't clean up and look nice. I do. Do I follow fashion? My no. I put on something clean and neat that is comfortable and flatters me. I pay no mind to trends. I buy what I like. Bottom line. The NTs have never seemed to begrudge me a date. I've always broken off those relationships. Heh.

Good advice though, it's quite interesting to know what everyone is thinking. Clothing as non-verbal language is a really good way of putting it.

I like fashion. It's fun, and it can be creative. Fashion has relatively little or nothing to do with style. Fashion is mass merchandising, style is purely individual. I usually go on men's fashion sites like men.style.com and see if I can interpret this or that look to suit me. Then it becomes part of my style. The absolute biggest mistake people make is not lack of style, but lack of fit and wrong proportions. As a son of a proud Italian man and a French woman, I learned about fit and proportion when I was very young. I have everything, even T-shirts sometimes, fitted at the tailor's, who happens to be Italian. It makes me feel good, it doesn't cost much (I always add alterations to the price of any garment I buy), I look great in my clothes and it continues an age old Italian tradition.
And, by the way, it takes just as much time and effort to put on a nice shirt and pants than it does to put an XXXL t-shirt with sweat stains and pyjama like clown pants.
Clothing is absolutely a form of language.

I'm fortunate to have a neurotypical wife who dresses me.

In my youth, I wore stars, stripes and polka dots, and thought nothing of it.

You got something against stars, stripes
and poka dots now?

Okay, wondering about this. (Not for any real purpose, mind you... it's just an aimless curiosity. )

My friend's ex-girlfriend told me that a guy wearing a sportcoat + blue jeans = very hot. She kept insisting this was the case, despite my thinking it sounded strange. She acted like women are hardwired to find a guy in jeans and a sportcoat very attractive. Why? Was does this attire signify? "I'm a professional, but I'm also fairly rugged"? And, is her claim true, or does only she and certain other women like her find this attractive?

(BTW, her advice is responsible for my goatee.)

I'm a god of fashion.
Seriously. I doubt that others
could pull off everything that
I can. But it's all about confidence,
and NOT what you're wearing.

hmm... this site is pretty helpful so for with my... em... peculiarities. (Yes, i am an Aspie, 100% approved by a shrink ). Its a lot easier to communicate thru text than face to face... wow. Alot of my problems are prolly more confidence related than anything.

Well, i dunno what would exactly be thought of my dressing habits, and what i could do with a little change in. Some basic info, then ill say what types of stuff i normally wear or whatever.


Im a guy, pretty tall, average build.
AGE: 19, Hair, shortish medium brown.

Casual Wear: Jeans and a T-shirt, sometimes with a Zip-up hoodie. Jeans are usually Darker blue in color and somewhat baggy in the leggs, but still a slightly tight waistline. T-shirt is usually A black band shirt (either Iron maiden or Metallica) and is a bit large, A Long sleeved Black shirt that is tight on me and has a red/silver design on the front. (A silver dragon with a red aura around it), a Green pocket tee that has japanese samurai art in the upper left corner. If i wear a hoodie, its usually a black Zip-up hoodie, either my Fender one, a plain black one, or a Dragonforce one.

NOTE: I hate wearing hats, and i dont like wearing more colorful stuff.

EDIT: forgot to add the occasional button up that i wear with jeans sometimes. Its either a white button up i like to wair open during the warm weather, and sometimes tend to wear a muscleshirt underneath. Sometimes ill wear a Hawwiian shirt or two also.
