6 Reasons I Wear The Same Thing Every Day

The capsule wardrobe movement is not widely practiced. But, elevated in the social consciousness by some high-profile personalities, more and more people are applying minimalist principles to their fashion.

Not only do I wear the same thing everyday, but I only wear black. As a female, I do not have to be concerned with my makeup, handbag, jewelry or shoes ever clashing. It also cuts clothes shopping time down to a fraction. I only have to look at one style and one color. I had been wanting to do this for years and finally just went for it. I started purchasing multiples of the exact same item, while purging my closet. It is one of the best decisions that I followed through on.

It seems the more clothing you own the harder it is to figure out what to wear, less choices is always better... at least for me it is

Having been in the military I was used to wearing a uniform daily. After I retired I realized what a hassle it is to have to choose something to wear daily. Glad you shared this idea. It's not new, but with all the ads pushing consumerism it's not in the forefront of our culture. Thank you!

I wore a uniform all through elementary and high school. The simplicity of that, has impacted my wardrobe ever since.
Thanks Mom and Dad!

I love that you speak slowly and deliberately.

I have been doing this for years. My friends call me a cartoon. Life is so simpler this way.

My husband is a college professor. He wears (and has worn) a black t-shirt and Levi's every class for much of his career (he just received his 25 year recognition). Everything you mention here is true, especially the ease of dressing every day. And - the other day I was out grocery shopping and happened to be wearing jeans and a black shirt (I like it, too) and one of his many ex-students asked if it was a family uniform. It just might be! LOL

I have to say, just looking at your closet behind you is calming.

You have mentioned some people think you speak too slowly in your videos. I don't think so. I think your pace is perfect. Because your videos are only five or six minutes, it really doesn't matter anyway. It also saves the viewer from having to rewind the video multiple times to catch what you're saying. I appreciate that you meaningfully and effectively pace yourself. Thank you so much for posting.

If anyone is old enough to remember the sitcom Happy Days- Fonzi always wore the same thing lol - that’s what this reminds me of 😉 He was the coolest guy we knew !

I wear black work pants and a scoop neck tee every day for work. I bought 10 of the same shirts but different colours/prints. I call it my uniform. And I wear leggings on the weekend 😀

Like the way you talk! Most youtubers sound hectic to me, you sound just right 👍

Here, here and amen. Freedom is not being a slave to the trends and just finding what works.

FINALLY, a YouTube channel without commercials and what is more, with quality contents!

I am a massage therapist and bought FITTED (key word), black scrubs 5 pair and wore them everyday...but here's the cool thing: they looked so nice because they were fitted, people often mistook me for being dressed up. That always gave me the giggles. I didn't even have to wear a bra or anything...was SO COMFY all day long. Black nurse's shoes, black socks...it actually looked really sleek. Then I could add a dash of color by which coat or purse I decided to use. Turns out, black scrubs look great for running errands, going out to eat for dinner if you wear a nice sweater over the top. Best purchase I ever made. Wore them everyday for 10 years except on date night with my husband.
Now I am experimenting with a capsule wardrobe to add a bit more color while taking a break from massage.
Great video.
P.S... My mother is a shopaholic OCD type lady who values appearance over all else and she shocked me when she said I looked great everytime she saw me! Scrubs don't wrinkle, so she thought I looked ironed, with "slacks/dress pants" and a nice lengthened appearance because of the black all one color slimming outfit. She had not even realized I was wearing scrubs! Lol!

I've had an all black wardrobe for 20 years now and I feel so empowered just by that. Thank u for the information. God bless.

My previous employer issued the staff uniforms which saved me A LOT of money. My new employer allows a business casual attire but I have chosen to purchase 5 company polo's in different colors and it makes my mornings so much easier.

I've worn the same thing every day for about 2 years... I have 10 of the same shirt and about 4 pairs of nearly the same pants. Same socks. Same shoes. Same hat. For people that don't derive some pleasure out of fashion and such, it makes life so much more simple. No plans to change it.
