Outfits

I truly despise the process of choosing my day's outfit each morning. I mean, I really hate it. Which colors look nice together? Is this formal enough to wear with that? Tuck in, leave out? Etc.

Ech!! Who needs it? I only wear clothes to keep warm and avoid the stares associated with nudism.

My wife really pushed me on this too while I was getting dressed this morning. She asked me why I insist on wearing "that color combination" ("that color combination" being greenish khaki pants with a gray button down shirt). She got me at a vulnerable moment when I am on the verge of making an important clothing decision.

I am very, very close to pulling an Einstein and choosing 1 outfit to wear all time. That means I pick 1 style of shirt, 1 style of pants, and buy them in quantity. Each day I just grab any one of the identical pants, any one of the identical shirts, and wear it the same way. No decisions. I love the idea of this. There are only a few questions I need to answer:

- How much am I willing to invest in this? You've gotta figure even at $30 per pair of pants and $30 per shirt buying, say, 8-10 pairs of each adds up fast.

I'm up for any advice anyone has. Just comment on this post please. Thanks!

- What outfit do I commit to? White button down shirt / tan pants / brown shoes & belt seems to be a good idea, but what about summer? Can I downshift to polos (then add another 8-10 shirts I need to buy)? The devil is in the details.

- How do I tell family members not to buy me new clothes and confound my plan by introducing variety?

- What do I do about accessories (shoes and belt for a man)? Do I get 2 identical sets of shoes/belt (you don't want to wear the same pair of shoes on consecutive days - wears them out faster or something)?
