I wear same outfit ever day for work and a different one for down time. It was picked out by a bf last fall and I’m gonna update in spring with bf doing the recommending. All I know is it’s chinos, white T, blue shirt, and blue jacket for work. White T, check shirt, zip up hoody and jean for home. I have to trust others cos being totally blind I could be wearing anything. Having multiple of the same thing makes life so much easier.

I care. I saw a lot of blind people when I could see, and some of them looked like total wrecks and you have to accept that it affects how people think about you. People have said I overdo it, not that I wear fashionable stuff but that I probably keep washing things before they need it and get changed when there's no reason to, just to be safe. I'd rather be known for being a bit careful about clothes rather than going out with stains on me. You don't have to be into fashion, I never was and I don't like the fact that I have to pay more attention to it than I really feel like. Even so I recognise the reality that it affects what people think.

My friends are very helpful and I have a couple of very good relationships with local stores. Sometimes they have personal shoppers who will help out. So we're clear I would not normally use a personal shopper, I'm not that weird, but if you ask for help in a department store that's often who you get. I tend to go with a buddy then I have two opinions. Formal stuff is actually easier because it's clearer what you mean by that.

I am a musician, which is hard because it is not totally casual but not totally formal. For instance last night when I was working on a stage show we wear black, I wore a black velvet jacket which I think is from Gap over a white body, with black levi 751s, which are sort of boot cut, and black reebok classics. I have a long wool coat that goes over the top for travelling. On Monday I am working in a studio all day and nobody cares, so I'll wear my grey moleskin jeansand probably the same sneakers, a fitted shirt in maybe a warm colour, not worn tucked in but probably a bodysuit underneath for a warm midriff. If it's really rainy I have combat style boots. Today I'm not working so I have a charcoal knee length skirt which is 60s vintage and has one big kick pleat, white bodysuit which basically looks like a T shirt if I take my sweater off, opaque mid grey tights and my favey DKNY alcantar boots which are calf length flat black leather and are old but still good. I have barely enough hair to tie back at the moment but today I have an alice band on because it goes with the whole 60s thing, and I have a necklace which I wear always because it is a gift from my partner of like 18 years, so he matters.

I have a lot of black, grey and white stuff as it all goes together. I don't do that because I can't see, I know what I'm wearing. It just makes things more flexible.

There are people who feel comfortable being on their own path and see fashion as conforming to norms they have no interest in. That’s a choice anyone’s entitled to make, but I don’t think blindness is an excuse to thumb our noses at fashion. It’s sort of like when kids close their eyes and think if they can’t see you, you can’t see them.
The reality is that we exist in a visual world and appearances matter.
It’s the same with documents we write. If we put stuff out there riddled with spelling mistakes and poor formatting, we won’t be seen as credible.
The way I look at it is there is so much misunderstanding and discrimination out there, we should take control over anything we do have control over and ensure we’re looking good and colour coordinated.
I’m male and my job requires me to wear suits all the time which actually makes things fairly easy, but I have been interested to observe that I am often patronised and treated like a child by airlines when I’m travelling for pleasure and not wearing a suit, than when I’m travelling for business and am.
It shouldn’t be that way but you know, if it makes a difference to how we’re perceived, it’s worth doing.

I put quite a lot of effort into my wardrobe. It’s intentionally bright with lots of patterns but everything matches. I like to stand out and be recognisable since people stare at me anyway. May as well give them a reason. :D

I consider the colours I can see, staple pieces and comfort. Material and fit are extremely important, and I have two sisters who know what’s cool haha.

To me, fashion is irrelevant. I usually just pull stuff out of my dresser at random, unless there's a reason why I need to wear something more formal or fancy.

I just don't care, and I don't think if I were sighted, it would be any different.

Dresses and boots are easy \~ and that's my preference. They usually match.. and I can use the "Be My Eyes" app if I need to verify a color choice.

Entirely uninterested in fashion. Somewhat resentful about having to (pretend to) care. I do like certain fabrics or materials more than others, and I mind whether something is comfortable or not, but don't care about how it looks.

Low vision so can see colour. But stick to dark pants and coloured shirts mainly. Usually get good feedback about whats working from my wife.

Personally, I just wear jeans and a different sweatshirt every day. Jeans match everything, so there really isn’t a whole lot I have to do. To me, it’s just clothes, it doesn’t really matter all that much. In my opinion, sighted folks put an unnecessarily high value on fashion, but that’s just me

I’ve wondered this myself actually. My 6 year old is blind but insists I buy him certain things based on what I buy for myself. He is second only to me with his sneaker fetish and loves certain brand clothes. I would assume that as he grows up and becomes independent he will deviate from it slightly, but suppose he will stick to what he knows to an extent.
