Sometimes what I wear is based on my job. For example, a couple of years ago, I briefly worked at a fast food restaurant. I bought these black work pants at Walmart like those which are typically worn by restaurant employees, and I carefully removed the labels. Then when I got a job at a department store, well, I could wear my black suit pants, or I could wear these restaurant pants which were almost as good, didn't winkle as much, and were a lot more durable.
And at the same time, I was contributing to medical topics on wikipedia, and I kind of evolved what I thought was my doctor outfit. These black work slacks, white dress shirt with T-shirt, and a cream-colored light weather jacket that was a little ratty, which I vaguely liked to pretend was a lab coat. No, I'm not a doctor nor anywhere close, but I did take my wiki work seriously. And what perhaps pulled it all together were these low slung black and brown tennis shoes, which were both casual and a little dressy.
And then it's a little bit like, once I have a really good outfit, why am I going to wear anything else?
Exactly - it takes me the longest time to find a clothing set up that I like. There are too many considerations. Once I do however I will just wear that or buy different versions of the same thing i.e. i'll by all three hoodies in a set or light cream chinos and dark grey chinos from the same line
