    Does anyone else have trouble with their fashion sense? I have never really felt comfortable in what I wear. I know it's related to my social anxiety but also possibly my sexuality. Since I realised I was bi, about a year ago, it's become even more difficult. I tend to just end up wearing jeans, a t-shirt and converses to uni but I never feel really good. I don't think I'm an ugly person or anything but I worry so much about what other people think about me, my sexuality and everything. I enjoy dressing up, eg. high-heeled boots, a nice top and jeans or occasionally a dress when I go to parties etc, but it's casual wear I can't work out. I know clothing doesn't say everything about a person but I just don't know how to express myself and feel comfortable in my own skin.

    Anyone been in a similar situation or have any advice?

    I'm the same way.

    I don't like clothes that fit "tightly" even though that's the style now days, so I end up buying shirts/jeans that are too big then I feel like a circus clown lol.

    I have maybe 2 shirts that actually fit and don't look too big on me...

    I can't really help. I'm a jeans and tee person (usually a boys character tee) or maybe a shirt.

    I have trouble with that, too. I hate tight clothes, but I also hate clothes that are too loose. I don't care for particularly ostentatious or showy clothing, and I'm not a fan of bright or light-colored clothing (with the sole exception of a bright yellow jersey I often wear). For the most part, my "standard" outfit tends to just be a black t-shirt (with no printed designs on them) and jeans. That's what I feel most comfortable in.

    Can't say I have much in the way of advice, though. :astonished: Sometimes it just takes a while to find your particular "style".

    I wear clothes to disguise my figure as much as I can. Baggy jeans if I can, although I don't have many jeans so I have to wear skinny sometimes. I wear a t-shirt, usually a band one or plain, with a baggy shirt over the top, unbuttoned
