What clothes do anorexic people wear?

Answer 1

Anorexics don't always dress in a way diffrent from the average person on the streets. You can never pass judgment about weather or not a person in anorexic or not based on the clothes he/she wears.

However, after watching my sister slip into anorexia i have found a few things to be common: many girls with eating disorders dress very nicely for they are obsessive about being perfect in every aspect of their life. Or, I have also seen that some wear particularly baggy clothing because it is a way of hiding the parts of their body that they dislike.

Answer 2

As far as I know, there is no specific research on why people with anorexia change clothes a lot, or how common this practice is. However, people with anorexia often wear baggy or loose fitting clothing in order to hide their body. Additionally, people with anorexia tend to be cold, so you may see a lot of layers being changed or added, etc.

Also, people suffering from a distorted body image tend to be quite self-conscious and think that they look "bad" when they do not. Just like someone might wear an outfit, and decide that it does not look good and change, people with distorted body image could certainly feel this way more frequently.
