You can have a varied wardrobe that still takes zero effort. For instance I have a wide variety of t-shirts and collared shirts. And I have about 5 pairs of blue jeans. So I just choose a random shirt and jeans and go. It takes no more time than having a closet like Steve Jobs.

Did the "Why I wear the same shirt every day" post really require a rebuttal? I think it was mundane/useless enough to warrant just letting it die.

I don't think anybody cares who wears what shirt which day. This is a tech site, not a fashion blog. Can we please just drop this?

Wear whatever the hell you want and quit telling people about it.

I'm sorry, I don't understand. Can you please post this comment on your blog and submit it?

But, seriously, I'm not one of those "HN is totally going downhill" people but I'm annoyed by most posts like this. I don't mean ones about fashion and not tech (the fact that this isn't strictly a "tech" site is a discussion for another day) but rather things that would have made perfectly servicable comments becoming their own submissions. I understand why people do it (more exposure for their message, more exposure for their blog) but I really think it dilutes the experience. It dilutes the discussion by forcing you to check multiple places for updates. It dilutes the front page by using multiple slots for the same discussion instead of having as many different discussions as possible. And it dilutes interest by repeatedly shoving the same topic in front of your face.

Before we have another one of these types of replies can we please just stop and think "does this need to be its own submission or is it really a comment in disguise?"

You guys are probably right. If you check my submission history, I rarely submit stuff like this (this is probably my first of this type). Nonetheless, I'm tired of those kinds of posts and wanted to make a statement. Sorry for polluting.

I've been doing "Fancy Friday" off and on for the last few years and I've built a collection of a dozen or so vintage suits and sport coats. It's essentially "real adult" cosplay for me, but you know what? It's awesome. I look damn good, people notice me, and on the rare occasions when I do have to dress up, I already know what I'm doing.

Why I don't wear the same shirt everyday:

I'm not married yet.

You know who does the same thing everyday, in the same manner, using the same moves? I have a strong feeling it is called 'robot'.

We are humans, we should be diverse, we should seek diversity, it is what makes us alive. Not routine, not being robots that work work work. Work should and has to be fun. And diverse.

"Routine creates boredom, and boredom constricts creativity."

Somewhat out of the context of the OP, but I respectfully disagree with that statement. Routine also creates a structure or foundation on which to be creative. Although counterintuitive, in my experience it can be hard to be creative (in a productive way) when you're given total freedom or have to start out from scratch or in a new way every time. You waste your energy trying to explore too many different areas, whereas when you work in structured environment, you can focus on the just the portion where you want to be creative.

Fair enough, but I would argue that just picking out clothes in the morning does not represent "total freedom". I see what you are trying to say though.

You're right and that wasn't my intent. Sorry. I was hoping it was clear I was more interested in the statement, but out of the context of the OP. Guess it was too far out of context...

If picking out what to wear "takes time", guess what: you need to become better at making decisions.

Only a Jobs or Zuckerberg level of success gives you a pass to not vary your wardrobe.

You know, that frontpage post about the declining quality of what's posted lately? I think i get it now.

Thanks for the Bombfell link -- just signed up. I had been looking for an alternative to TrunkClub (seemed too expensive for my tastes) and this looks like it'll fit the bill.

Sad to see these types of posts making the 1st page on HN these days :(
