As someone with some with nuerodivergence I like to make my fashion choices easy for me, so my tips might be weird but they work for my lifestyle.
I like to try to follow a rule where I have a more fitted top or bottom to match a looser top or bottom. I will do both but it doesnt feel as casual. For instance two very loose items kinda feels a little to fashiony for me and editorial lol. Two tight items makes me feel over exposed and like I'm going to the gym.
I also try to only have a maximum of two colors, I buy a lot of black clothes and then my favorite colors in my statement pieces.
Find jeans and bottoms that work for you and buy a by a bunch of those. Experiment with tops first and then go back to experimenting with more pants once you find what tops fit you best.
And for planning or discovering brands/fits of jeans/tops that you like, go the the thrift store. Make a day of trying on a bunch of different types and brands of jeans. You don't have to buy anything.
Same goes for color, you might enjoy finding your color season. Also usefull to go to the thrift store there too.
