3 Reasons to Repeat Your Summer Outfits

This summer I have engaged in some shameless outfit repeating. The reason: pure survival (I’ve been busy). But after reflecting a bit this week, I’ve realized there are some excellent benefits to outfit repeating that are worth mentioning on the blog. These are great to keep in mind if you feel reluctant to repeat (don’t worry, no one cares or notices!) or if you feel stuck when getting dressed in the morning.

3 Benefits of Outfit Repeating:

1 // You look good every day and you always like what you’re wearing. Because I am wearing ‘tried and true’ outfits, I always feel good and I always feel like myself. My outfits are previously executed formulas that work for me. Some examples are: a high neck tank and my favorite cut-offs, or a favorite matching set. I might change it up a little bit with shoes or earrings or hairstyle, but sometimes I don’t. This reason alone is worth it to me to repeat my outfits. The more confident I feel in my outfit, the more easily I can kick my insecurities to the curb.

2 // Repeating outfits creates mental space for other things. Overall I’ve been spending less time getting dressed, less time brainstorming outfits and less time shopping (more of that in #3). This cleared out mental space has allowed more room for things like family, work and fun. Not to mention, I have very little stress over what I’m wearing and I can get dressed very quickly in the morning.

3 // Way, way less money spent. When you openly repeat outfits, you realize how little clothes you need and how much you already have. And when you can easily make several outfits you love, shopping is a lot less tempting. I find this extra helpful for my summer clothing budget, which is considerably smaller than my cold weather budget because our warm weather season is short.

I am confident this is just the tip of the outfit repeating iceberg, and there are more reasons to be considered. If you have some to share, feel free to add them below. Meanwhile, here’s a look at the outfits I wore and repeated this week.

  2. Love all of it! Do you have the details for the pants and crop top? I’m obsessed 😍

    1. Hi Julie, unfortunately both are from a few seasons ago! Top is Paloma Wool, pants are by Only Child. You might want to try the secondhand sites like Poshmark or Depop!
