hi there,

what reasons might there be, that we rather wear the same clothes?

for me its:
- i like my clothes and i see no argument why to wear e.g. a different trouser every day as long as it doesn't seem to smell
- it takes probably a bit more time until i am really comfortable with a clothing, and when i am then i don't change so much
- I maybe don't care so much about the reactions of others
- I don't have a fine nose, so even when some thinks smell, i don't realize early. Nowadays i take more care about this.

what about you?

The reason I wear basically the same style, jeans and fitted tshirt, I'm self-conscious. I see fashions I like and want to wear but I am too fat to wear them and/or I feel too ugly to be able to wear them. Like dressing a cow in a cocktail dress. When I was younger and thinner my wardrobe was varied. Although I'd be afraid to wear something because I did not feel like I was pretty enough and people would wonder why someone who looked like me had the nerve to wear something like that.

It's only been the past 5 years that I've worn clothes more than a day in a row, but not generally more than two. I guess I'm lazy. I have been a apathetic since a major depressive episode 4 years ago. I wear undergarments so unless I spill something I don't see the need to change jeans but every few days. Shirts I will change though. Usually every day but sometimes I will wear twice in a row if not dirty and I'm not going out.

I basically have worn the same (style; not the same physical items) ones for at least 10 years, and I hate switching. I get upset when they stop making a particular brand or style of socks, boxers, or when they change the style of Levi's, etc. In fact, I like Levi's 527 low boot cut jeans to the point I'm hoarding them from eBay.

Sometimes I'll wear the same thing every day if I'm not going anywhere and I'm on a mood where thats the only thing that "feels right". If it's not dirty, I'll wear it as it is, but if it's dirty and I know I want to wear it the next day I'll wash it the night before. When I'm very depressed I've been known to wear the same things until the smell of them bothered me, or they were visably too dirty to wear, however when I'm depressed I usually stay in my nightgown, and I'll wear the same one until it's too dirty to wear anymore, from either smell or looks.

Other times I want to dress nice even if I'm around the house.

I know that right now I'm slowly sinking into another depression, and I'm glad it's slow this time. I can tell this because I just don't see the point in doing much of anything, and although I do get dressed every day, in clean clothes, usually different outfits each day, I don't care about my hair or makeup or jewelry or any of that. Apathy is sinking in, and I'm planning on going to the doctor in a few weeks when I get the money and get my antidepressants. After I do that, I'll be much better within a week or so. I'm not going to let it get to the "just stay in bed all day" stage this time. That's too painful and takes too long to get over.

I wear pretty much the same thing all the time - jeans with a black tee or long sleeved shirt. If it is cold I'll add a fleece or leather jacket. When something wears out I replace it with another that is very similar. They usually get changed on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday when I have a shower unless they are very dirty.

The same goes for footwear. I wear army officer's boots because they are comfortable and support my ankles. I have two pairs of boots - a good pair and a tatty pair. When the tatty ones fall apart I buy a new good pair and use the others as the tatty pair.

If you compared me to a photo from 10 years ago, about the only visible difference would be a bit less hair and a bit of grey in my beard and hair...

When I was 16, I wore the same hoodie over my clothes for a month, my sister told me people at school started talking about it so I stopped doing that. I also don't see the point in having more than 1 pair of shoes. I've also had the same haircut for 4 years (and get pissed when a close friend changes their hair style or color). I got four pairs of pants, 3 of them are blue Levi's jeans, the fourth one is black. :P
I also sleep in hoodies, sometimes I sleep in the same hoodie for over 2 weeks.
Oh and as a kid I always had one favorite sweater and I wore it every time I had the chance.

I wear jeans when I go out anywhere. If I'm just out for a while I'll wear tracky trousers, which is what I wear normally. Black or grey ones. They're just comfier and don't require a belt. I need belts for jeans, but they annoy me. I only ever really wear t-shirts or check shirts and I always wear hoodies. I don't wear the same clothes every day, but my style is pretty much the same. I don't even bother wearing a bra sometimes, especially if I'm not going out. I feel more comfortable like that.

Sniggers.

That is me but mine is blue. The only reason for the 65 days of not wearing it was it being uncomfortably warm. After being annoyed about it being washed, I just put in on still damp and grumbled for several hours.

Not the exact same garments, but put me in with those who have a whole bunch of the same thing. I have 6 pairs of identical jeans, 20 t-shirts that are all identical aside from color, one pair of beat up Vans that I should have replaced a couple years ago (but will probably wear for another year at least), and one black hoodie.

I wear the same black jeans pretty much all the time. I wear them for maybe 5 evenings at a time between washing them (I wear old trackie bottoms during the day for work) and I rarely wear any other trousers. I change my T-Shirts every day or sometimes every 2 days if I'm only lounging around the house (during weekdays I usually change them every 2 evenings because again I wear old T-Shirts for work). I nearly always wear a blue and black checked shirt over my T-Shirts though, nearly every day. So it looks like I always wear the same clothes day after day but they are washed quite regularly. I just don't vary what I wear much because when I get comfortable in clothes and I like them, I get quite attached to them and don't want to change out of them.

I have quite a variety of garments but I always stick to the same combination of black jeans, check shirt and Ushanka hat. People must think I'm a right filthy tramp. :lol:

I change my socks and boxers every day, but when I forget to do laundry I have been known to wear the same for 2 or 3 days. When I was about 13 / 14 or so I used to wear the same socks for about a week or more. I have improved since then....

I wear clothes for multiple days at a time, maybe longer. Not underwear if I can avoid it, though.

The longest I've gone? Maybe a couple weeks. I don't really know.

Ha! The Uniform! My friends threw a party when I left town a few years ago where everyone dressed up in black t-shirts and blue jeans. Halfway through the party someone pointed this out to me, and that it was my going away party.

I wear form fitting black t-shirts / skinny or designer blue jeans and black converse 95% of the time for the last 12 years or so. I have multiple pairs of shirts/pants and keep them clean. Before that it was some variation of the same set of similar clothes. I never wear visible brand names. I don't have the time / $ to find or buy really nice stuff, so the routine lets me save time thinking about it.

I hardly even pay attention, I wear clothes until I figure they ought to be changed......or I might switch clothes because I want to wear different pants and then wear the same pants I wore the day before the next day. So basically I don't really wash anything that has not been worn at least three times first. lol

I wear shorts year round, and prefer knits like polo shirts and t-shirts. If it's very cold I wear a zip up hoodie. I don't like pants, they're too restrictive. I wish I lived in Scotland. Then I'd wear a kilt all year round. Those look very comfortable, especially if you dress like a true Scotsman.
