Is it just me or did she fail to include a picture of what this actually looks like? Would've been a great usability enhancement to the article.

#42Leggings are a great solution for women, but I'm still looking for a non-jeans everyday pair of pants for men. Something stretchy and comfortable, that can be dressed up and that I can ride my bike in.

...she came off as a stylish The author is definitely NOT stylish by any reasonable definition of this word. Hence the difference in the wardrobe size. Things like "ethical" or "green" consumption only make situation worse.
That's a little harsh of you, don't you think? Her wardrobe isn't varied, but as long as the default 'works' there's no reason she can't pull it off. Do you remember what your friends wore yesterday? From what I've experienced, clothing doesn't really matter once you get past first impressions.
So much of fashion is fit anyway, you'll be more stylish with a small wardrobe of clothes that fit well than a wide variety of ill-fitted stuff.

#44Funny to see what a female thinks of as "wearing the same thing every day". For most dudes I know, That's a lot of clothes to own. I think I made it to age 30 without ever owning 3 pairs of pants at one time.
Nice, so far I've gone 2 years without shopping for clothes. My coworkers have my dress habits practically memorized, gray/blue T-shirts Monday thru Thursday, and a Maroon or white shirt on Friday.

#45I've been wearing a shirt and tie since I was 18. The only t-shirts I own are the oversized ones I pick up on random occasions (get them as a bonus when buying something for example) and I only ever sleep in them. This isn't to say I wear the same shirt an tie. Obviously I own dozens but the point is when I dress in the morning all I have to do is: - grab any socks and pants, - grab any shirt, trousers and jacket (th…
Don't you ever get too hot and sweaty wearing a shirt and tie all the time? Do you still wear a shirt and tie to very casual occasions, like a baseball game or a night in playing video games?
I'm being perfectly honest here - I don't own other clothes. This way I can fit all of them in a tiny closet and it makes life easier when moving.
We don't do baseball in the UK but I get your meaning. You can always take the tie off - instant casual. With the local climate there's little chance of getting too hot but I don't wear a sweatshirt underneath the shirt so all I need to do is take the jacket off and unbutton the collar in case the sun makes an appearance in between the fog and the drizzle.
Actually, I did have a problem once, something mentioned here a couple of times. Riding a bicycle would snag the trouser leg occasionally. Fixed that with a safety pin.

#47She could just stop at Muji, job done.
Looks like she's in SF. There's no Muji store there.

Yeah, I wear jeans, sneakers, a tshirt, and an optional hoodie every day and hadn't considered that wearing the same thing every day. I expected this to be more like a uniform.

#49I'm reminded of guitarist Pat Metheny's horizontally-striped shirts. I have albums from him that span decades and he seems to be wearing the same shirt in all of the liner notes.
I've never heard an explanation for this but have always assumed that he's so single-mindedly focused on musicianship that he doesn't want to have to think about getting dressed.

#50I think women don't fully appreciate the uniformity of men's clothes. Her plan is still more variable than most male dress codes like (dress shirt, slacks, leather shoes) or (T-shirt, jeans, sneakers). But I agree that too much choice causes stress. It must be a nice feeling to limit your possibilities and go from a 15-minute decision tree to a nearly instantaneous choice.
Ever notice how when a female politician wears an outfit a second time, it results in a great deal of criticism from tabloid media? I male politician could wear the same suit every day, varying the tie (or even keeping that the same) and no one would notice. I always thought that was an insane demand.
