Does anyone else wear basically the same outfit every day?
By Eli Mercer on
I’ve realized that clothing is one of the biggest ways that shows up in everyday life.
I don’t wear the exact same clothes every single day, but I wear the same type of clothes every day. Same fabrics, same fit, same general style. I own multiple copies so everything is clean, but the routine stays the same. In colder months it’s soft leggings and long-sleeve tops. In warmer weather it’s shorts and t-shirts.
For me, it’s all about comfort and predictability. I already know how these clothes feel on my skin, so I don’t have to deal with sensory surprises first thing in the morning. I also don’t have to spend time deciding what to wear or trying things on and getting overwhelmed before my day even starts.
I work from home, so no one really cares what I’m wearing, but even when I didn’t, sticking to a clothing routine helped me function better. My mornings are calmer, and I feel more regulated overall.
Some people joke that it’s “NPC behavior” or like a cartoon character outfit, but honestly it feels more like a coping strategy. It makes life easier, and that matters to me.
Just curious does anyone else here do this too, or is it just me?
