I do have coworkers who wear a lot of one color--not ONLY one color, but a lot. Let's say 4 days out of 5. So what? They like the color, like the way it looks on them, wear it because someone once told them it brings out their eyes or makes their skin look creamy, who cares? Good for them, they should enjoy it.
That being said, I had a coworker who wore the same pair of slacks for a whole year. Different shirts, same slacks. At first I thought she must have bought half a dozen of the same slacks--some people do buy basics in bulk. But after a while it became clear that these were the very same slacks being worn 5 days a week, week after week. This I thought was pretty darn weird. I even asked her once "Is there a reason you wear only black slacks?" (Trying for tact, you see, as if I didn't notice they were the same ones.) She said "Yes, because I'm bottom-heavy and black gives a slimming impression." A couple of years later she confided that she once did an experiment: wear the same slacks for a year and see if anyone notices. She thought nobody did because no one said anything. But if I, Olivia the Oblivious, noticed, you can bet your paycheck everyone else did, too. (Ever tactful, I expressed amazement and did not say what was in my mind, to wit: Honey, you didn't fool nobody.) |
Why would anyone care if she wore the same slacks every day unless they smelled?

Only if it’s black.

Lol! We know someone that always wears purple and my kids call her “Mrs Purple”. She also decorated her house and sukkah in everything purple.

I’m not looking for a new one. I enjoy fashion and checking out what others wear.
No shame in that.

Years ago I followed a blogger who wore the same dress for one year, styling it different every single day. She was really creating with creating new looks.

I gravitate to the same 6 colors. Someone once pointed it out to me. I was surprised it was noticeable. Oh well, that's me.
