And in the winter, it is the same shirts and pants with nice cable knit sweaters or casual sports jackets.</p> <p>If it works for you, I'd keep it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sticking-to-buying-multiples-of-the-same-clothes#post-1004458 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 21:42:45 +0000 Trishalee 1004458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm trying to break that habit as well, however if I find something that works I will buy multiples in different colors. &nbsp;I actually have a drawer where I store extras of the stuff I truly love in case they stop making it. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sticking-to-buying-multiples-of-the-same-clothes#post-1004369 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 19:13:06 +0000 rachylou 1004369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Innovation is not appreciated in men's fashion" - I can't remember who said that, but it's true. Your wardrobe is the epitome of the well-dressed man. Don't let anybody sucker you into variety! You will lose points, no matter what they say.</p> <p>And I say this as a hipster. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sticking-to-buying-multiples-of-the-same-clothes#post-1004367 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 19:10:26 +0000 Anonymous 1004367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a creature of habit in everything I do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sticking-to-buying-multiples-of-the-same-clothes#post-1004287 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 17:32:06 +0000 Elly 1004287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For a man-- I would say not. However, If I am not mistaken, some of the ladies at work know a bit about your interests in fashion (women's fashion) if not for any other reason but because you often notice little details about their outfits and make compliments. A woman that was interested enough in fashion to do that would most likely be a woman that plays with her own wardrobe, so the ladies at work might expect you to be more into your wardrobe. Also, women in general have a tendency to love to play dress up with male friends ect, or at least think about how they would dress someone differently, especially if the guy wears a lot of very plain very casual clothes and that doesn't necessarily mesh 100% with his personality. I know for one that I've commented to a guy friend that I liked it when he wore something different than his usual, or said that I liked him in button downs or in a certain color. </p> <p>My SO has like 8 pairs of the same pants, and 4 pairs of the same boots in different colors. He is hard to fit and those are his favorites . . . so no, not unusual for your average guy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sticking-to-buying-multiples-of-the-same-clothes#post-1004136 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 14:01:51 +0000 Anonymous 1004136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My wardrobe is almost full of the same style/brand of tee-shirts and lightweight trousers, as I am stuck in a routine of buying and wearing what I know is comfortable to me.</p> <p>I do vary the colours though.</p> <p>A few women at work have commented on how I never wear different styles of clothes.</p> <p>Is it considered boring to do this or is it unusual? </p>
