Why Successful People Wear The Same Thing Every Day

“You’ll see I wear only grey or blue suits. I’m trying to pare down decisions. I don’t want to make decisions about what I’m eating or wearing. Because I have too many other decisions to make.”
— President Barack Obama.

Zuckerberg's "50 Shades of Grey" wardrobe, Steve Jobs’ iconic black turtleneck, Albert Einstein’s grey suit.

If you had to guess what the “uniform” for success looked like, what would it be?

So a monochromatic wardrobe is synonymous with the style of success. But why?

Which of these apply to you?

  • Your closet is full of clothes but you still end up wearing the same pieces of clothing over and over again
  • You want to look good without really having to think about it
  • You wouldn’t mind having an easier and more efficient “getting ready in the morning” routine
  • You have “bigger” things in life to worry about than having to stress about leaving home looking perfectly put together
“Simply put, by stressing over things like what to eat or wear every day, people become less efficient at work.

This is all related to the concept of decision fatigue, a real psychological condition in which a person’s productivity suffers as a result of becoming mentally exhausted from making so many irrelevant decisions.”
— John Haltiwanger

Introducing the capsule wardrobe, a collection of a few essential items of clothing that don't go out of fashion, such as skirts, trousers, and coats, which can then be augmented with seasonal pieces (Wikipedia). Basically, it's a smart library of functional clothes that you love.

“A capsule wardrobe represents more time and energy for what really matter.”
— #Unfancy

While having a fuss-free monochromatic wardrobe is apparently a habit successful people have, it doesn't just revolve around white shirts, grey suits or wearing the same thing every day.

In fact, a trendy monochromatic dressing can be timeless if you choose the colours or shades that look good on you. Consider this your signature style.

If you had to pick a base colour for your capsule wardrobe, what would it be?

Basics in Brussels

“The romper can be a tough sartorial nut to crack; if you wear one with too airy a fabric, it can end up looking like pyjamas. If it doesn’t fit properly, you lose all your shape (the ideal romper isn’t too tight or too loose, but lands somewhere perfectly in the middle). If it’s too skimpy, you look like a teenager that’s just escaped from the mall. They can also be difficult to accessorise, especially if they’re printed.”
