To wear the same basic outfit and not think about clothes anymore

I really like Uniqlo for this reason because they tend to have lots of colour options for the same item of clothing.

I have 5 x thin long sleeved tops that I wear under 3 x jumpers in different colour in the winter, with 4x same trousers.

T-shirts and some flattering jeans, some shirts and jumpers. Also two good pairs of leggings. A belt can dress up an outfit. Some trainers and boots for day/evening options.

This just seems like a normal wardrobe to me.

I have visions of you tottering down the street in ridiculously high stiletto's and the denim shorts on the other thread about first dates😜

@PoppinjayPolly No. Not fabulous at all. Just a bit interested in fashion, dressing appropriately and having a bit of fun! I don’t feel 70 so I’m not dressing in a regimented age related way with no imagination. I guess we make friends with people who are a bit like us!

Autumn, Winter and Spring I wear a plain black or navy trouser with coloured long sleeve patterned top with underlayer if cold. Summer much the same but cotton/linen trouser and patterned cotton loose tunic with 3/4 sleeve. Easy, mix and match, appropriate for my age and size, comfortable, inexpensive (though pure cotton getting more expensive and harder to come by). Do have some dresses but mainly for holidays, special occasions - rarely worn.

I tend to wear jeans/T-shirts and walking boots every day, I have a border collie who loves going out! I have exactly 4 dresses, the last time I wore one was at my DDs wedding, nearly 8 years ago! When I want a more feminine look, I stick on a hippy style skirt with flat heeled or wedge shoes. I used to wear heels all the time when younger, but the last time I wore them (DDs wedding again) I was stomping about feeling off balance lol!

Turning 60 this month, I don't give a rats arse about looking fashionable- as long as I'm comfy.

Yes increasingly I only really care about comfortable. I have like what I wear but that's a low bar to be honest.

Im a 6 foot 67 year old and live in wide trousers and trainers. I own no dresses or skirts. I avoid any formal occasion. We go out to eat every week, lots of gigs and theatre.

So your thinking is “I am so wonderful and individual!! I wear what i like and want… if other people wear what they like and want they are boring individuals.. not like me and my fabulous friends!” 🤨

Angela Merkel was famous for this approach @Bedheadbeachbum .

Oh dear. This is so depressing. Leggings, jeans, t shirts and identical shirts. No expression of individuality and love of Mark Zuckerberg! I absolutely won’t do this and, for me, fashion is a moving feast! I know what suits me but that can be expressed with variety and I find it a joy, it’s me! I’m not Mrs Boring and my fashion does embrace new ideas. I’m not stuck in skinny jeans and leggings. I don’t know anyone who is so I guess boring dressers stick together?

I have kind of done this my whole life. Once I found a look that suited my body type, I didn't want the headache of trying new things or overcomplicating life with the exception of special occasions.

Yes, yes I do. Because I'm male, and this is largely how we work.

I own 4 pairs of jeans, and about 15 T-shirts, and 99% of the time my morning routine is to pick one of each at random.

The exceptions are:
Someone important coming to work - Swap t-shirt for polo shirt
Date night that isn't just popping down the pub - Swap t-shirt for one of two shirts (both checked)
Wedding / Funeral - break out the suit for it's yearly airing
Fuck it's hot - Where the hell did I put my shorts

I reckon I spend less time in a year contemplating what to wear, than DP does on an average morning.

I pretty much do this too. It’s too much stress to think/worry constantly about what to wear. I do enjoy seeing other people who make the effort and look lovely and pulled-together and I’d love to be able to do it myself but realistically it isn’t going to happen.

So my trusty uniform of stripy tee-shirts and jeans lives to fight another day (and another, and another, and…)

I’m trying to do this but getting stuck on flattering jeans. So much easier when skinny jeans were in!

As I'm trying to loose weight I've not purchased any new clothes since Christmas.
We are retired so around the house I wear leggings and sweatshirt (I have 3).
Still have some nice clothes for going out whether it's shopping or somewhere else.
Some of these are a bit loose. Maybe I'll buy more when I loose another stone.
DH wears jeans and t-shirts.

The only tiny problem with this (it’s so tiny, honestly) is that if you buy say five pairs of trousers and eight tops at the same time and wear them on rotation, they’ll all wear out at the same time. I bought four multi packs of knickers and all 20 are coming up to needing replacement!

My happiest times clothes wise were when I was wearing an actual, literally uniform, and where I had to wear my own clothes but the type and style was such a narrow choice I again just bought multiples of things in different colours. Such an easy thing to get dressed every day.

I’m exactly the same….I have my favourites so worn and rinse and repeat. I do sometimes feel over the festive season with lots of meet ups with family that they must be thinking does she only have the same two jumpers?! But I love them - they were expensive and good quality and will last years. Funnily enough my husband is the same - is there less pressure for men to engage in their appearance as they age?

I either wear jeans with a black/dark top, or a (more colourful) maxi dress. I have bad scarring and swelling in my lower legs after an accident so don’t like them on show. I have a nice selection of dresses which I wear most of the time when I’m going out, trousers tend to be utilitarian for home. I don’t work due to a disability (which caused my accident!).

I realised I'd inadvertently been doing this for years. For me it's black leggings, a great tunic top that covers my bum. Big black boots in winter, pastel trainers in summer. I own perhaps 4 pairs of shoes and maybe 6 outfits. All my clothes fit in one small chest of drawers. It's brilliant. Suits me perfectly, once something is wearing out I replace it. I do the opposite of fast fashion, I might not buy anything for years but wouldn't think twice about spending £200 on a pair of winter boots I'll wear every day and will last me over a decade

Sounds like my summer " uniform"
