How does one wear the same clothes everyday??

[JediRN]

I have 9 sets of identical black scrubs.

Superman and soldiers always wear the same things, so whatever works.

[mtpockets]

I never notice what others wear, couldn't give a rats ass really. {I never miss seeing those yoga pants on the ladies tho}

I wore the same clothes at work for 25 years while serving my country, now I have a hard time deciding which red plaid shirt to wear daily.

I'm a comfort kinda guy.

[Gabbar99]

I worked for years with a guy who wore the same thing every day. He had an unlimited supply of identical khakis and blue oxfords. He just liked things simple. I was sorta envious of him. He and his wife made $400k/yr between them and lived pretty simply and never had to think about money. He'd get a new white suburban every year and told his wife just to get it and don't even ask him about it.

We do laundry pretty much every day and I could very well wear the same thing two days in a row, I don't really keep track.

[Gabbar99]

Of course on Sunday mornings and a few other days of the month I'm in a suit and tie.

Cool. The churches I've been part of for the past ~20 years I, like most guys there, wear shorts and flip flops. Sometimes I think it'd be cool to be back in the days when all the men wore suits and hats. Guess there are some suit-wearing churches still out there.

I still for the life of me can't understand how anyone would want to look the same everyday, especially if they aren't poor in anyway, that is f'cking weird to me.

Hell even when I was poor I tried to change what I wore as much as I could. Now, due to the grace of God I earn a 6 figure salary, between my wife and I we earn close to 300k annually and yes I spend a lot of money on clothes, more so than my wife. Hell my sneakers alone cost anywhere from $200.00 - $1200.00

Different strokes for different folks...

I am thinking about how many black items of clothing I could get with 300K. A man can dream.

LOL I wish I could spend the whole 300k on clothes! I would be the best dressed thug in the hood

Yeah but you are in the fashion hot spot of the USA! You also rock the urban wear occasionally so that requires new fresh gear. If you lived in Virginia, would you really still need to dress like a New Yorker unless you were going out? Think about that trip to Tennessee and what you would wear if you lived there.

Believe it or not I have three distinct types of clothes I purchase. (and this is besides summer vs winter)

1. Work clothes suites and casual wear etc
2. Going out clothes with the wife, family etc.
3. Hanging out clothes, clubs, the hood etc

I know I know, crazy but that is just who I am.

Nah, it isn't crazy if you got the coin but many people(men) just are not that into it. This whole GQ/metrosexual thing has made men aware of dressing better, skin care, and tying to look young. I get it... but i think where you live and your type of job is a factor.

It's nothing to do with money at all.

You (and everybody else) will have seen guys who don't make that much money and have a crap home, but have the car and the bling, as it's all about projecting an image, so they spend everything they have on creating it.

Other people just dgaf.

I make considerable money, but I don't wear a watch or jewelry, I don't drive a car and I don't wear designer clothes (they wouldn't fit anyway). I admittedly pay $5k or so for a suit, as I have them made at a traditional gentleman's tailor, but unless somebody spends a similar amount, they would never know, as there isn't a name that most people would recognise attached to them. I just don't care very much about that stuff.

I have a entire closet full of suits etc in my office, for when I have meetings, but if I don't have meetings I will wear dark jeans/docks/combats and a dark t-shirt, as it's convenient.

Apart from ties, I don't own anything that is pink, red, purple, orange or bright versions of the other colours.

The thing is where I was raised (the hood) it was always about how you dressed, you were made fun of if you didn't "dressed to impress" in fact, if you did not wear the "style" clothes you would be picked on and get into fights.

My brother and I, being very poor didn't wear style clothing, example; the kind of sneaker you had to be wearing back then were Pro-Keds, but since we were poor my mother would buy us Skippy's and we were made fun of all the time and we would wind up fighting because they would pick on us. There even was a song they would sing to us and I remember it like it was yesterday. "Skippies, they make your feet feel fiiiiine, Skippies, they cost a dollar 99"

When I started running the streets, man I had so many pairs of sneakers, Adidas, Puma's, Playboys' I could wear a different pair of sneakers for 2 months straight without wearing the same ones again.

Well, here you go, buddy. I got your skippies right here

I hear ya, East Orange was not so nice with me wearing Jox shoes either.

LOL Sadly that song brings me back bad memories....

I have no idea who those people are or what it is suppose to mean.

I buy almost all my t-shirts off the clearance rack at Target. And even worse I won't buy them until they reach the 70% mark- $3.88 USD but I do have a large collection of them My wife and I live comfortable but IDGAF. My wife will go out and buy me new boots/shoes and Ill take years to wear them ( have 3 new pair in my closets right now). I still rock my 3 year old white on white K-swiss even though they look more like tan on beige.

The only old stuff I have is my working out clothes/sneakers and even that I change maybe once every year or so. Except for the squatting sneakers I purchased, I am not sure when I will change those as they seem to be very durable.

My SO does that with my gym clothes. She will see something really cheap and buy a dozen of them. We can imagine her and my mother's voices in our heads saying "you have lots of money now, so you think it's ok to waste it on things that you will just ruin and throw away do you?"

Her parents were refugees and I grew up in social housing. We both had having a spotless home and not wasting money frivolously drilled in to us and have never been able to completely break the habit.

[ElrondHubbard]

I've been at my current job now for roughly a year and 8 months, there is a guy here who has been wearing the same clothes every f'cking day for that period of time, how the hell does one do that?

Same shirt, same pants, same sneakers (yes he is allowed to wear sneakers due to the department he works in)

Seriously how can anyone do that?

One leg at a time, sir. One leg at a time.

[Cass40]

I am participating in this one year without buying new clothes -challenge but it has to do with environmental and not wasting natures resources-reasons more than poverty but poverty always helps lol..

So technically I can't buy anything for a year. I have two months to go. I have learned that I had tons of clothes that I never wore before but am wearing now because I am running out of clothes.

No matter how often you change your clothes, you still have the same face.

At one of my contract jobs, I knew a person who wore the exact same clothes every day too. Black pants, Black dress shirt, and Doc Martens. I figure he had a full closet of black... and bought multiples at one point.

Doc martens are really comfortable and that sole works on snow and ice.

[LisaSkinnoble]

I have a snuggie. I got it for my birthday one year. But it's like a blankie, you can't really wear it outside.

I saw a woman at The Beer Store in onesie pajamas and Uggs. Not kidding. Onesies, like I used to put on my son when he was a toddler only we called them sleepers.



It astounds me how some people leave their houses.

Any given morning in the US if you visit a Walmart there's likely a woman in pajama pants. Not as bad as the women in stretch pants that are really testing the tensile strength of them as some sort of science experiment though.

I don't wear the same clothes every day but I do wear some cheap ass clothes and I'll rotate the same 4 pair of cargo shorts until they wear out -- at least 2 years

The vast majority of my clothes (Cargo shorts, t-shirts) come from Costco.

I spent more on squat shoes (2 pair) and knee wraps last year than I did on clothes.

I'm not poor now, but did grow up poor like you. All my clothes as a kid came from Kmart.

It's funny though, I developed the attitude that 'now that I can afford nice clothes, I couldn't care less'. You developed the attitude that 'now that I can afford nice clothes I have to make sure I show people that I can afford it'.

Not making any sort of psycho analysis on you or myself as I have no idea either way -- just making an observation that 2 people can grow up poor, end up making good money as adults and want to spend their money in totally different ways.

Different strokes for different folks...

Definitely!

The thing is although I was raised poor, when I started hitting the streets I was making a lot of money, so I was only "poor" till I was about 16 - 17, then I hit the streets...

Wow Cass, I'm impressed you can do that. I love the idea of a challenge like that but I can never stay away too long from buying a new cute dress.

I hear what you're saying, John. Where I come from, men buy a lot of clothes and shoes, different things for different activities (works, going out, sport). My husband has the same khakis and basic Ts which means more closet space for me
