To wear the same outfit everyday?

I'm WFH and basically wear my fave joggers and jumper everyday. To the gym, to zoom calls, to DCs' school pick ups, to the shop. I dont bother with makeup. I change what's underneath, although I'm contemplating just sleeping in the same clothes. I do have other clothes. Should I make more of an effort?

@StCharlotte I am deliberately not going down the elasticated waist route, because my jeans are the only thing keeping my lockdown cake and wine habit in check! I actually set myself a challenge at the start to not repeat an entire outfit during lockdown, which is still going strong. Obviously I do re-wear things, but not in the same combination. I take a daily photo to remind me. (I know this sounds nuts, but I am filing it as a “project”, and firmly believe it’s whatever gets you through right now!)

@BrummyMum1

I’m all for sticking to your own personal style or uniform but there’s something about head to toe stretch jersey that says “I’ve given up on life”.
In your opinion.

Not in mine. I can run the world in leggings as well as I can in formal clothes. Better in fact!

@TrixiePants. I live in shorts/leggings (all either black or Navy) and primarily white t/shirts. Usually 2 clean sets a day, but I probably look like I'm wearing the same clothes all the time to neighbours etc (unless they see my washing line 🤣). I really don't care. I HATE fussy clothes & I HATE colours/patterns near my face. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm adapting to life not giving up, maybe growing up too as these days I feel less self conscious about what I wear etc.

Sounds like leggings is the go to style here

I do love white t shirts @MJMG2015 but now weathers more grim the jumper covers it all the time (cold house)

And yes I dont do washing daily so i try to rewear at least a few days (aside from undies and gym wear). Otherwise x 5 sets of washing, it's insane.

I wear the same thing every day even when in the office. I have five identical tops which I wear with the same skirt each week, and five identical pairs of tights. I cba deciding what to wear every day so just do this.

I like your style! I generally avoid wearing the same outfit twice in the same week.

I was chatting about it with a friend over the summer who works from home and lives in leggings etc. She said "I just don't understand why every day you..." [I was expecting her to say "did the whole hair and make up thing" but she actually said...] "got dressed"!!

I have a few pairs of joggers and so many tshirts and long cardigans, they all look very similar but everyday I’m wearing fresh clothing, I also only wear my comfy clothes if I’m staying indoors.
If I’m going out of the house or is a weekend then I’ll wear my nicer clothes.
