Worked with a woman who bought a new outfit for every party she went to, and any time she went to a club. Had a closet full of shoes. Not just a closet with clothes that had a ton of shoes. An actual entirely separate closet, about the size of a spare bedroom, full of shoes, most of which she wore only once. The only thing I ever saw her wear that looked the same more than once, were her gym clothes, around the house clothes, and her work uniform. Outside of that, she never wore the same outfit out twice.
The one time I mistook a black and blue outfit for something I thought she wore before, she changed into something different.
It's not every woman, but it is definitely a thing.

Meanwhile i have like 7 of the same shirt.
I have like 7 total shirts, 1 jacket, a pair of shoes I wear outside, and a pair of shoes I wear indoors while I'm working (because I live in a wintery area and need to be able to have dry feet after coming inside from the winter), 3 pairs of slacks, a pair of blue jeans, 3 pairs of sweat pants, and 3 pairs of shorts. That's it. That's my entire wardrobe, with the obvious exception of underwear.
I do on the other hand have to buy socks like once a month though...because...well, I honestly don't know why. My socks just vanish and I never see them again. I think my dog might be eating them.

Nailed it.
I had the benefit of being raised by parents who married for wild, crazy love. Because of this, my old money, high-falutin’ etiquette mom gave up everything to marry a shanty Irish gas pumping “loser.”
When I grew up and did event planning for mucky-mucks as part of my college admin job, I could actuallysew my own duds— but by then I knew what REALLY good clothes were.
Moreover, my birth had reunited my fancy grandmother with my mom— and I learned it was far better to own fewer, better pieces than it is to own many gaudy closets full of “wear them once” outfits and shoes. Those, Gran would say, were the real tramp stamps of the (gasp!) … nouveau riche!

I have a friend like this. It’s her thing. She has the money and likes wearing new clothes. Know a lawyer who wears a new designer suit for the start of every trial. Wears a new tie every day of the trial. He probably spends more on clothes than she does. They both have the money and they like it. To each their own. I’m a woman and I own one pair of shoes. If I find something I like to wear I buy all of them. If I’m feeling crazy I’ll even buy different it colors. I can dress in fresh clothes every day for weeks and have it look like I’m wearing the same thing every day. I’ve never seen women mad or embarrassed that someone is wearing the same thing. Usually they laugh and take their photo together. For some reason guys like spreading stories that women are at each others throats. They they feel in constant competition.

That's insane. I guess it all depends on the kind of people you associate with. In my friend group, and even among my coworkers, if any two women showed up in the same dress or blouse or whatever, I am 100% positive they would laugh hysterically about it and take pictures and go around showing everyone. I hope you know that there are plenty of women out there that do not act like those stuck up sorority girls policing outfits. In my life I have NEVER had someone talk to me about recycling outfits. I can recall so many times where other random women would compliment my top or my shoes. In my experience compliments are way more common than negativity.

Secondly, it wasn’t “the same” shirt and pants, I had more than two navy blue shirts and multiple pants of the same color. I only wore the same pant color, but I had other colored shirts too. I just preferred the dark navy blue shirt/navy blue pants combo.
I can’t understand why ONE person wondered why I was wearing the “same” clothing when no one else wondered. Like, i was also going through a lot with my self esteem/confidence, family issues and medical problems, and was showing signs of depression and anxiety, there’s no need to put someone down over some damn uniform??

Yeah it's so infuriating when you see someone try to invalidate any kind of "-isms" because "they're doing it to themselves".
Like... that's the entire problem. It's that society as a whole has enforced some bullshit standard that isn't fair... it doesn't have to be a secret orchestrated plot that only one specific group takes part in.
Men are often pushed into hard labor, dangerous jobs that get them injured, disabled, and dying way younger. It doesn't matter if it's women pushing them to those jobs because "tough jobs are sexy" or if it's men pushing them because "weak jobs are for girls" or whatever else.
It doesn't matter. The unfairness is there because of the entire social structure that reinforces this from a young age.
Black Cops kill innocent black people not because they hate black people, but because they training and social system they went through taught them to respond more harshly to situations with black people.
None of these things invalidates that there are bigger social problems... they actually add supporting evidence showing its a problem. And yet somehow we still have people being like "well it's women who want to regulate what other women wear, so checkmate feminists!"

I was worried about wearing the same handful of outfits every week to work, and then I quizzed myself on what any of my co-workers had worn to work that week. I couldn't think of a single outfit they wore even though we'd worked together for years, so I stopped worrying about how often I wore the same clothes to work. Then there is my husband, with his doctorate, who wore the same pants (2 pairs of the same pants) for 25 years and liked it that way. I doubt the other scientists noticed at his workplace and it sure saved money! (he did have a small weekly rotation of shirts, socks, and undies)

The whole point is that it’s not a personal limit - it’s a societal one. It’s an unspoken rule.
Take weddings for example. If you wear the same outfit to two different weddings, a woman is taught that people will talk.

That doesn't really disprove her point though? She didn't say that she can't wear the same dress twice because of men. Just that men don't get comments about it and women do.

Edit: I feel like a lot of y'all have a fundamental misunderstanding of what "privilege" actually means in these contexts. It literally just means "this is a situation that men don't experience but women do". It's not assigning blame, and it doesn't mean men are the perpetrators.

Privilege does not equal blame. It is just a way we use words to describe a situation. Any addition connotation you have assigned to it above what its intention is is a disservice to yourself.
Once you understand what privilege actually means, I hope your eyes are open to injustices in the world. Take off the blindfold of blame and just look at it objectively.

She wasn’t blaming men in her tweet so why did he feel the need to say that lol

As a woman, I wouldnt think twice if someone wore the same outfit twice either. I assume you bought it because you like it and plan on using it more than once.

I’ll take it a step further: it’s usually the woman herself who imposes this on herself, not even other women.

Ok but it still happens regardless of whether men or women are criticizing(?) also let’s not forget that this is due to societal norms mostly put in place by men

u/Panda-delivery Mar 24 '23
She never said it was men doing it. She said that kind of criticism wasn't leveled at men, she never said it was by men. Why do y'all interpret every observation as a personal attack? There's literally a term for women who invent or reinforce sexist standards on other women it's called internalized misogyny.
We're well sware what's happening we've already come up with a name for it.

I’d be surprised if I even noticed a woman wearing the same dress twice. First occasion: “Oh what a cute dress.” Second+ occasion: “Oh what a cute dress.”

Anyone who wears clothes but once is slaughtering the planet and deserves to die choking on carbon dioxide.

Rich privilege is having even a passing thought of criticizing someone on how little outfits they own.
I know girls that literally own one evening dress and few sets of everyday clothes that they rotate every week. Why would anyone comment of that? You either not notice or take a notice only to make a mental note not to mention it in case it's a sensitive topic. Seriously well-off folks live in a different reality.

And actually, I go for a "tomboy" look anyways, so rock that flannel multiple times!
Edit: there HAS to be a better term for that these days....any ideas?!

I get it… but I’ve seen this screenshot at least once a week on Reddit for months. I literally saw it on here yesterday. I feel like I could probably quote it word for word because it’s posted so much lol

This is accurate! My husband and I didn’t have much money and I hate shopping for myself so I wore the same dress two years in a row to my husbands Christmas party. His female coworker noticed and made rude comment to my husband.

More to the point, if the dude thinks the dress is cute, 100% he wants to see you wear it again

u/Xancrim Mar 25 '23
Yeah, misogyny is also largely internalized and perpetuated by women. The second comment isn't a comeback, it's already encapsulated by the first comment's statement.

Met up with some mates for the first time in a while. We were wondering the last time we were out and one of the lads flicked through his phone.
It had been 8 months.
I was wearing the same outfit. I was rinsed all night. 😂

You better get rinsed if you have been wearing it for 8months, you must have reeked

As a woman I can tell you this is ragebait that gets reposted frequently. Women dont care about this either. Stop using it as a way to call women shallow and frivolous or point out how carefree men are in comparison

I think you could wear twice in a week no problem. On the other hand, trying to not wear anything twice in a week would probably get you arrested.

On the contrary. If it’s a cute dress I would love to see it multiple times. Rock that dress that fits your right girl.

Hell if I ever heard a dude complain about shit like that I got real clever/disrespectful till we laughed it off. Life is too short and precious to worry about something that stupid.

There's actually some psychology behind this guy's wear the same clothes to cement an image while girls constantly change for looks
Like look at famous people or people of influence guys style like haircut or whatever they were won't change much while girls constantly need to redo their hair or looks
It's a mind trick and generally you will find people that dress the same in sales or business while entertainment it's always what can I wear to pop looks

My friend worked at Clair’s and was stressed about wearing the same outfit twice because her coworker would call her out on it. Fuck those people who think a laundry machine doesn’t exist. They’re the problem when it comes to over consumption.

u/ThePurpleKnightmare Mar 24 '23
Problem is that girls usually don't wear dresses anymore, some of us do, but the vast majority have little interest in looking feminine, until it's an event of some kind, at which point the rest will wear dresses, but then you have the issue where the only dress anyone ever see's you in is "that" one so it's like it's a bad thing. However if you cycle through cute dresses as casual wear, then you don't have this issue. Except when you get married, because it's too abnormal to casually wear your wedding dress unfortunately. Shame because I was gonna get a real abnormally colored black and purple one, but I guess now I just won't get married.

I used to get caught up in that as well until I asked myself what my 5 closest friends were wearing the last time I saw them. I couldn’t remember and I doubt they’d remember what I was wearing. Since then IDGAF and have been comfortable with myself since then.

Dudes see a girl in a nice dress for the second time and think “oh shes wearing that cute dress again”
