wearing the same clothes every day

Post Reply New Topic

I currently regularly wear about three outfits. Okay, outfit is a strong word. I have three pairs of black jeans, and then three different shirts, and I rotate among them.

I don't mind wearing the same thing every day but other people seem to get weird about it no matter how clean they are, so I try to have some variety. Part of my problem with regards to this has been little money to buy clothes, but even when I've had a lot of clothes, I was still the same way.

That said, I do like to dress up for occasions, but I don't need a lot of different outfits for that.

If I'm not leaving the house, I pick up my clothes from the day before and put them on, unless they're really dirty or smelly. When I leave the house, I put on clean clothes. I have a closet full of clothes, but I only wear a few of them. Part of the reason is that trying them on in the store is not the same as actually wearing them all day. They might seem tolerable in the dressing room, but really they aren't. It's time for me to buy new pants though. I don't have any without holes. I hate buying clothes.

Hate buying new clothes and tend to wear what I have until it falls apart - then I have to get some more.
(they're clean and all that; it's just a familiarity thing)
No patterned socks at all, to avoid a potential mix-up problem, and I generally buy several identically coloured pairs anyway which removes the other mix-up problem.
Several sets of identically-styled, single-coloured tee-shirts, jumpers and a few (plain white) shirts. I've never liked logos or noisy patterns on clothing.
Several pairs of jeans or other plain casual stuff.

So yeah; basically the same outfit every day. Just makes me feel more comfortable wearing the familiar stuff is all.

I wear a navy blue t-shirt and bluejeans every day, i have multiple pairs and they all look the same

I like turtlenecks (in cold weather), jeans, socks, comfy undies--all the same style. Same hairdo (long straight, hair parted slightly off to the left) I had at age 10. Denim vests or a longer knit version is easy to wear. I can wear a pair of jeans for three days. The tops I change every other day--this I do if I remember. I love soft shoes and boots. No tight socks, but I do like jeans to fit snuggly so they do not feel as if they are falling off.

t-shirt (jacket optional, hood is a must), jeans, red shoes, glasses, dust/fudge (hair product).
Repeat each day.
Remember to wash.

I know I've posted on similar topics before, but I don't think I've posted in this particular thread. Oh well, if I have, I guess I'm going to, again! LOL

I've improved in this area over the years. Somewhat. I think. Ok, ok - if I didn't try really, really hard, I'd still be wearing the same thing every day for a week.

In my middle/high school years, I wore whatever I happened to put on in the morning. I had NO understanding of how to match clothes, so ended up with very odd combinations a great deal of the time. I have to assume my parents had given up on ever getting me to understand that striped purple pants just didn't work with a yellow plaid shirt, and the like. I was not allowed to wear the same thing to school twice without it being washed, but would often wear the same set of "play" clothes everyday for a week.

Late teens and twenties, I wore jeans with hard rock and heavy metal band t-shirts. I did a lot of manual labor type work, so wearing a shirt multiple days was pretty much not an option. Jeans, on the other hand, got worn until they looked dirty. I loved it - I always matched, and it took no effort whatsoever, other than deciding whether I wanted to wear Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Deep Purple, Floyd, etc. that day! Usually just grabbed whatever was next in the pile.

In my thirties and forties, I went the route several others have described: 5 pairs of khakis - different colors, but the same style - and a bunch of polo shirts in different colors - all the same brand & style. I was able to wear a "different" outfit everyday without having to think about it, and only had to do laundry every other week!

Now, I have a boyfriend who is very much a fashionista. (Boy, talk about opposites attracting!) I now have a closet full of carefully selected clothes that are comfortable and look great on me. I try to think carefully about what I've worn recently when choosing a shirt (almost always jeans, so that part's easy), but I seem to get stuck in cycles. Like, every shirt for 2 weeks is striped, or they're all some version of paisley, or they're all blue, or something like that. And, at least twice a month, he'll look at me and tell me that I've worn that same shirt 3 or 4 times in the past week - and I didn't even realize I was picking it out again.

My closet is filled to the brim with clothes but I'll end up wearing the same 5 shirts on average in a particular month (or season). I tend to forget about some shirts that I havent worn for years that would still fit me or I worry they no longer do.

Right now I have only one pair of jeans left that still fit me very comfortably and I've been wearing them almost everyday for months.

Different clothes, all made from soft cotton and loosely fitted.

I would if I had the choice, but it looks better to outsiders of I change my clothes.

I have two types of clothes - very casual and very formal. Nothing in between.
My casual wardrobe consists of about 3-4 pairs of jeans and army pants, about 20 T-shirts (they basically look the same, black with print, I only have one yellow and one red) and a couple of hoodies. So I practically look the same every day though I do change clothes a lot. I simply can't put on anything that has not been freshly laundered and ironed.
I also own two pairs of army shoes and several baseball caps and I usually carry a laptop backpack around so generally I look like a God-knows-what, people get my age and gender correct very rarely. Wel gender is about 50-50 hit and miss, age is much more difficult.

Whenever I have to dress up for an occasion, I do dress up though I have a very strict dress code so I don't wear anything that is lurid or shiny or too-much-of-anything. I have a lot of formal clothes but they are, once again, generally one type - dark, single-colour frocks with a classic cut and formal tops and jackets. Nothing too short or too tight. I do wear heels when I have to but my shoes are usually plain black or brown with nothing fancy on it.
So I do look the same anyway. But my clothes are always sparkly clean and I don't actually care what people think. My poor old washing mashine never has a minute's rest anyway.

I literally do this.
I shower once a week or less, I only change my underwear(unless I have a period) or bra after the shower, wear the same mildly-skinny jeans (I'm really thin, genes and the fact that Ritalin stops me from eating over a meal and 2 snacks a day. It goes great with the jeans now chocking my legs), change a school jacket every two days (I have over 10, but only use 4)(at summer it's changing a T-shirt every day, I smell and others notice...) a T-shirt every day (too warm, too cold: Israel is not what you think -_-").I have many alike or even similar clothes.

If my parents would let me, I'd wear the same set for a month. I'm the biggest girl slob in the world.

Heck no it ain't weird, not to me anyway. Do ya'll know how HARD it is to find jeans that A) look decent, B) FIT my lumpy behind, C) are short enough for my stubby lil legs, and D) that I can afford!???? lol

I have a pair of jeans and a few tops that I wear. I cycle through the same "outfits" regularly. That's about it. I often wear the same shoes, though sometimes I'll switch and wear one pair for a long time. Then switch to another pair and wear those obsessively. I do try to change my clothes everyday, though that's only because people have gotten on my case about it.

When I was younger, I read some "how to be popular" article in a teen magazine and it said that the key to being popular was to wear a different outfit everyday... Yeah, I tried that in 5th or 6th grade because I thought it'd help me fit in. They lied! But I did realize it was good for personal hygiene.
