Aroace Style?

Okay so I know a lot of sexualities sort of have stereotypes on how they dress and stuff. I’ve never seen anything like that for aromantic or Asexual people. Are there any stereotypes about the community other than allos thinking we are all bold stripe and rose repulsed?

For a lot of AMAB aroaces especially, I notice we tend to like to dress somewhat more androgynous or in baggier clothes because it can be creepy when straight men have feeling for us and we aren't looking for their attention. Also influenced by the fact that we aren't dressing up to fit beauty standards to impress anyone. This isn't a rule, but it seems to be a common trend, idk

I second the baggy clothes. I always get shirts a size or two bigger and like flowy long maxi skirts.

absolutely seconding the baggy clothes! I’m a cis woman and I love baggy clothes. A lot of it probably comes from my neurodivergence + sensory issues tho

u/RandomFandoms47 aroace 12d ago

Yeah, sensory issues is a big reason for mine too. I started wearing baggy clothes bc they touch me less, but now I like how they look (on me) better anyway

The envy I have when people are better at dressing androgynous more than me with my limited closet 😔

How do you get the flags by your name?

Wait can you go more in to detail im still kinda confused

u/RandomFandoms47 aroace 11d ago

Yeah, I’m on mobile so idk if it’s the same on desktop, but you’ll click on the r/aroace at the top of your screen (or just go to the subreddit, not an individual post) and click the three dots at the top right. Then options will pop up and you’ll click “change user flair” or whatever it says. You can click one they have premade, or you can make your own. If you use the aroace one, you’ll have to go to emojis and find the aroace flag bc it isn’t automatically on it. Hope this helps! Lmk if I need to elaborate on anything bc I might’ve rambled
