Ever since i was young i have refused to wear maching socks. Whenever i have tried it just feels wrong. Do you all have a similair "clothes quirk"?

Ps. Funnily enough it has nothing to do with texture. Specifically on my feet I do not mind texture fore some reason.¯_(ツ)_/¯

I can't wear denim or anything with a high amount of synthetic fibers (nylon is the worst for me). Well, I can wear skirts with synthetic fibers, solely because they aren't in constant friction with my skin, but anything that's tight to my skin is a no go for synthetic fibers
