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

Sounds like a sensory issue. When we itch we tend to feel it more in quieter times than in distraction like lectures, walking or talking. But before bed it might increase. It hasn't increased it just we feel it when least to zero distracted. Interestingly the more u scratch the itching gets at its worst. But if we leave it it gets worst then stops! Only takes 30 seconds when it realises it being ignored then itching stops. The more u forget the more chances it will go away, that feeling.

@Rob04 Kudos to you if you can ignore the sensory issues when focused on the lectures. 😅 Because the usual scenario is that you can't focus on the lecture because you are too occupied with sensory issues.

@CrazyMusicLover It is different then. I remember having uncomfortable clothing feel when I was a kid. The thought of putting them on after a shower was like 😵‍💫 I suppose this is why I prefer clothes one size up extra and must be 100% cotton than any other material.
