    so I don't know if I am the only person crazy enough to have thought about pulling together a personal uniform, kinda like TV cartoons were you wear the same thing every day but not in a punk rock I smell like shit kinda way but an I have 36 pairs of x and 40 of x and that is what I wear every day kind of way, I got close around the ages of 18-19 I adopted a Han Soloesque uniform of almost nothing but black slacks,shoes and vest with white or creme colored long sleave shirts that have the 3 buttons on the front, it still lingers as good luck seeing me in anything but black slacks/cargo pants unless it is hot as balls and I am wearing shorts, just felt like posting this as it has been a meandering thought in my head for the last few weeks

    Albert Einstein, Charles Eames and Gomez Addams are all famous for that very practice. Since my early twenties I've mostly opted for a navy blue t-shirt and dark brown pleat-less pants almost every day.

    My entire wardrobe (excluding the "career focused" items I have to wear to work) consists of black t shirts (usually with some band on it), blue jeans, and black hoodies (usually with some band on it).

    People have told me its weird, but I don't really care :)

    I have, for the last several years, had an inexplicable desire to dress like Colonel Sanders on a daily basis. White linen suit and shirt, black string tie, shoes and hanky. It remains to be seen if I will ever fulfill this bizarre idea but I can't seem to shake it either.

    I am in the slow, slow process (as I wear my clothes until they are literally falling apart) of turning my wardrobe into mainly (like, shooting for 80% - 85%) purple and brown items.

    Brown boots (pretty much any type for any occasion), jeans and some sort of shirt, band tshirt, button shirt, it doesnt matter, im always seen wearing a pair of boots and boot cut jeans.

    I showed up to a 10k with onitsukas on and one of my coworkers was surprised that they were not new and indeed, quite worn.

    I went to school once during my senior year wearing a white button down shirt, white pants with a black belt and black combat boots.
    I was going for the Big Audio Dynamite look from No. 10 Upping St.
    Everyone thought I was trying to be the Good Humor Ice Cream Man, but one dude said I looked "Fresh".

    I've been going crazy trying to find the episode, or even a still from the episode where Gomez shows off his rack full of stripped suits! I love the Addams Family but I'm not sure if I have it in me to download and watch 30 hours of their antics to satisfy this itch.

    I have consistently worn Addidas Sambas every day for quite a while with the exception of a pair of dress shoes occasionally. I think they are classic cool and go with everything(almost).

    I literally buy a new pair every once in awhile but never throw out my old pairs. I think I own 12-13 pairs now, all of them gently more worn than the next.

    black gap shirts x seven days a week.
    Levis jeans x seven days a week.
    golden yellow chucks x seven days a week. (several pairs, just in case they discontinue)

    No logos.

    I occasionally wear cowboy shirts when a collar is called for, hoodies (black, no logos) when it's cold and a black levis jacket, but... again, consistent.

    Since I was about 16 I realized I've always been influenced by British youth culture fashion (punk, skin, two-tone, rocker, mod). Thankfully I skipped the New Romantic stuff.

    I've been trying to adapt a more minimalist lifestyle, including clothing- which would equate to a virtual uniform.

    It's just too hard in Ohio with four different distinct seasons, not to mention all the different things I do weekly and need to wear ( artist's smock, polyester work clothes, dress clothes, Adventure Team outfits etc.). I'm a little jealous of you guys that can get by with wearing similar clothes all week.

    ^ C'mon, you can do it! Just, day depending, make the uniform with or without snowmobile suit!

    I used to have one just like that (and I am talking recently :oops: ), only it was Bombardier. I am not an NFL fan, but I would make any of these my personal uniform. Just look at that pleated leisure suit.

    The first time I saw this I seriously thought it said Adventure Time outfits. Made me wonder if you alternate Finn/Jake or Finn/Fiona ;)
