My brother wears my clothes... And I'm his sister. How can I stop him?

I have a few large band shirts, because they often don't make those shirts in my size. I keep going to wear them, and finding them missing, and discovering them in his laundry basket in his room. I do not understand his motivation behind this, but he doesn't listen to any of these bands...

He also wears my socks if he can't find his own clean socks. It's seriously getting disgusting when my previously white (or pink lolz) socks come back crusty and black...

How can I get him to stop?

Update:

PS: He's been doing this since we were little kids.

Update 2:

I do have girlie stuff, and he doesn't steal that. Probably because it is too small for him. :P

Update 3:

And he's two years younger than me.

    I don't know why that bothers you so much. Sibling share stuff and it' salways been like that. For socks, you can lock them up somewhere but other stuff...who cares. I wear my brother's shirts sometimes. (he usually wears nothing of mine because it is too small for him). My younger brother wears my stuff and my sister wears EVERYTHING of mine which is annoying but ...well...she is my sister.

    Relax.

    It would be freaky if he was wearing your skirts and stuff but the rest i sall normal.

    I don't think that you should be worried about this, although understand that you are concerned. Naturally so. Why do you not discuss this with your mother, since you are asking why she is not reacting to this cross dressing? There are a large number of people who are cross dressing, and there are a number of reasons for this: some will simply be doing it for fun, and more will be doing it because they feel happier wearing clothes of the opposite gender, and some have a need to find the gender that they are most comfortable with, and they can be helped by discussing it with a professional; their first port of call ought to be their GP, of course. You might discuss it too, with your brother, and see if he is more comfortable as a female, than as a male, and if he seems happier in his alter gender, you can either leave him to enjoy it, and support him, or work with the advice he is given by the professional adviser. However, regardless of all else, it is better that you do not react against him and cut off your relationship. Whatever the outcome, he is the person he is (through no fault of his own) and everyone will benefit by accepting him for who (or what) he is. Tolerance and Understanding are the keywords. Fortunately, these days, this is a more acceptable practice than it used to be, and we should all be thankful for that.

    Tell him that you feel it's an intrusion on your privacy. Maybe it was okay when you were younger, and you didn't mind, but now you're getting into more girly stuff and does he want his friends to think that he's gay? Tell him you wear those shirts because you support those bands and if he does then it's fake supporting

    younger? or older?

    my sis do this to me- but i dont have to deal with as disgusting returns of my clothes, i put a lock on my door( make sure it ok with parents first) but i told my parents what was going on it really bothered me and she helped me install the lock on my bedroom door and when ever im not home i have it locked, and even if im in the living room downstairs my room is still locked- my mom has an extra key to- she said she wanted it for safety reasons to- so maybe you could get your parents to help you out with this, and let them know you will still go by there rules. siblings are so annoying

    you could also tell him its bothering you and you have no problem with him asking but you feel like you have no privacy and you dont do that to him..but i have a feeling he wont care..but maybe he will

    or you could take something he love svery much and make it dirty so he gets the point( but that might start conflict...get the lock!! hope this helps

    give the boy a bottle of laundry soap and some instruction as to how one does laundry....and put a lock on your door.

    try talking to your parents, they will probably stop him. if that doesnt work get more girlie clothes. if that doesnt work, get a lock for your room. if that doesnt work i would suggest counciling to your parents

    put a lock on your closet/dresser or your room if that's not an option. then confront him about it.

    if it were me I'd charge him for wearing it$$$
