Steve jobs’ look is iconic, every day he wore the black turtleneck and blue jeans. I picture his closet like a cartoon closet, with those black turtlenecks hanging neatly next to each other in his closet.
Tim Ferris makes a case for wearing the same clothes everyday. His argument is that we have limited reserves of decision making capacity, and instead of taking up that bandwidth with insignificant choices, like standing in front our closet thinking “I don’t have anything to wear,” we can save those reserves for more impactful decisions.
I think it is a little too much to wear the same thing everyday, especially as a woman, and especially in America where having a varied wardrobe is more important than having a few well-made pieces that you wear more frequently.
I don’t wear the same thing everyday, but I do have about 5 tops in my summer wardrobe and 5 tops in my winter wardrobe that make up my professional attire and a few favorite jackets and scarves that I layer on in the spring and fall.
I try to look my best, and maintain a professional appearance, and I don’t think anyone at the office cares that I rotate through the same 5 outfits for a season. This strategy simplifies shopping, organizing my closet, and yes, I can save my brain power for the bigger decisions I have to make during the day.
