Hello fellow mustachian,
I've been losing a lot of weight recently, and most of my clothes are now way too big for me. I need to buy new ones and take this as an opportunity to simplify my wardrobe, to the point of implementing some kind of "uniform" I'd wear almost every day, just like Wall Street guys and cartoon characters do. The concept of "capsule wardrobe" seems to be trendy, but what I want to do seems to be a little bit more radical : I want to have as little different clothes as possible, but with several occurrences of each (yeah, I have to wash them sometimes).
So, I was thinking about buying :
- 5 to 10 white t-shirts,
- 4-5 chambray/denim shirts, to wear on tee-shirts (unless it's really too hot),
- two identical cardigans to wear on shirts + t-shirts on cold days,
- one or two pairs of jeans, plus one or two lighter pair of pants for hot days,
- a navy blazer for special occasions at work or for a wedding,
- a coat for winter.
(All other items (shoes, hats, scarf, underwear), I don't need to buy again since they still fit, so I'll ignore them here.)
The idea behind this is that it would make laundries much easier (all t-shirts are the same color, so I can wash them all together, same thing for shirts, etc.) and dressing up in the morning much easier. I won't have anymore dozens of items I almost never were because they don't fit with each other. The dress code is very relaxed where I work, so such an outfit would not be a problem at all.
What do you think of that idea? Do some of you implement such a technique of dressing almost the same way every day? Do you think it is feasible? Is there some problem I'm overlooking?
