I hate days where I can feel my clothes touching me

It usually happens in the evenings, where I’m able to take everything off, lie down on a sheet that doesn’t bother me, and move my hair away from my neck.
This started yesterday and was still happening when I woke up, and I was having problems with it the day before.
I can feel my hair touching me. If I put my hair up I can feel it pulling. I am aware and distraught over my sleeves, my bra, my pants, and my shoes touching me. Ugh the shoes might be the worst part.
Sometimes I can find clothes that bother me less, but today, during a work event when my level of dress should match the event, I struggled.
I couldn’t wear what I should’ve. I ended up ok with the top I went for, but bottoms and shoes are too casual. I feel certain I would’ve had a breakdown if I wore what looked best for today.
I’m still feeling miserable in my too-casual outfit. I can feel it all touching me and I want to scream

I can't wear a lot of fabrics directly against my skin, particularly on my chest and back. Even the softest cotton to someone else can feel like loft insulation to me. This kind of sensory issue can go hand in hand with being on the autism spectrum.
