We spend a significant amount of time thinking of the clothes to wear.
We think of the best outfits to wear to work, to a date, church, work out.
All of these events have the most appropriate clothes for them, and then we have to think of colour coordination and if the outfits go together or what shoes to wear with them.
There is a reason many successful people choose to wear one cloth in one colour every single day. Obviously, it is not the same cloth but the same kind of cloth. It is called a minimalist wardrobe.
Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, Barack Obama, Albert Einstein and many other famous people stick to a uniform theme.
Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook now Meta, wears a variation of the same grey shirt every day.
Jobs, the founder of Apple, wore a black turtleneck, jeans and new balance sneakers every day.
Obama, former President of the United States was known for wearing either blue or black suits. Here is why Zuckerberg always wears one type of shirt every day.
“I really want to clear my life to make it so that I have to make as few decisions as possible about anything except how to best serve this community.”
“There’s actually a bunch of psychology theory that even making small decisions, around what you wear or what you eat for breakfast or things like that, they kind of make you tired and consume your energy.”
Sometimes, we experience decision making fatigue from making too many decisions like what to eat and what to wear and wearing just one kind of cloth relieves us.
“No matter how rational and high-minded you try to be, you can’t make decision after decision without paying a biological price.”
“It’s different from ordinary physical fatigue. You’re not consciously aware of being tired – but you’re low on mental energy.”
Also, wearing one type of cloth makes you become a fashion icon. You become known with one particular outfit thus becoming iconic in your own way.
