Do any of you create your own work uniform?

[ChangedForEmbarrassingQuestions]

I’ve spent the last 12 years wearing uniforms for various jobs and loved it. I’d line up the uniforms on coat hangers and add underwear/an extra layer/whatever and pick up one coat hanger every morning.

Now I’m in an office job with a few trips out of the office per week. I don’t need to be overly smart, merely casual-presentable. I was thinking to just buy two or three identical skirts and five identical tops and one or two cardigans. I also quite like the distinction between work clothes and non work clothes.

Does anyone else do this? Do you get bored? Is it in fact the perfect solution?

I do! I never wear my work clothes in the evenings or at weekends, I have 2 identical pairs of trousers and 2 identical skirts one black and one navy of each, plus 2 jackets, 3 cardigans and multiple shell tops in different colours. Also loafers and courts in black and navy and some black boots, ankle and knee length.

I have to travel a lot for work and this system also helps me to pack light.

I do too. I have identical cheap black dresses with accompanying underwear and hosiery which goes on the back of a chair ready to put on, so I never have to think about what to wear for work.

If I had to choose from the rest of my wardrobe I'd never make it out of the building.

I was in your position, and then left my uniformed job for a smart-casual role. I have a couple pairs of cropped tapered chinos, two jumpers, one cardigan, and then t-shirts that match. All the colours work together, so I just mix and match for work. Shoes are ballet pumps, boots or suede shoes that I vary depending on the weather.

If I'm WFH, then I'll simply swap out the bottoms for leggings. Evenings the PJs go on!

It really reduces the decision-making, and I'm all about saving brain energy.

I have a work wardrobe. Things I only wear to work mainly black or navy trousers & silk shirts & jackets. I'm fond of the whistles fitted jersey blazers & have them in a couple of colours.
The trousers are cropped wide leg, tapered with a turn up or 7/8ths.
I wear black laced up ankle boots or burgundy suede Chelsea boots or dark olive green leather loafers

I don't wear these clothes at weekends or going out in the evenings

I do this.

I have 2 x ankle grazer black trousers, 2 x wide leg black trousers, 6 x blouses (same style just different colours or patterns), 2 blazers (1 grey, 1 beige), black brogues and black loafers. I just cycle through them in turn.

As PP said, having 6 blouses means I don't end up wearing the same one every Monday, for example.

I have a range of dresses I pretty much only wear for work. I wfh most of the time know.

I used to pre-pandemic just to save time thinking and had to be smart every shift (no jeans etc) but now work in a pretty casual office so incorporate all my normal clothes.
I enjoy mixing outfits up so just do a rough plan on a Sunday evening of what I'll wear that week.

Yes, mines very similar to @Poblano

And I used to think it was lazy but then I noticed my male colleagues basically wear navy and tan chinos, jumpers and shirts from Gant on repeat. I work in a male dominated sector about as far removed from fashion as you could get.

I used to need something that would carry over to attending Court, as well as being in the office or out on visits.
I had numerous colours of long waistcoat and harem trousers combinations, like the ones at Zarabesque, which flow and don't restrict movement , but are formal enough for all arenas.

I've always done this, when I worked full time I had a rail of tips and bottoms that could be mix and matched so I didny always wear the same things together

Now I work part time and have 3 pairs of similar trousers and tops that go with any of them
