As a non-fashionista, one of my favorite stories, possibly ever, is a BoredPanda post about an elementary school gym teacher who wore the exact same outfit for his yearbook photo 40 years in a row. Starting within the early 1970s, he took his school picture with an outfit he chose to use for the rest of his teaching career.

Honestly, I doubt the “polyester shirt and coffee-colored sweater” combo were a la mode even then. But, believe it or not the sameness does hold some resonance with a trend today.

There are even a few elitists in various industries (including Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and fashion mogul Michael Kors) who famously wear the same clothes every day. They say it’s mainly so they can avoid wasting time or brainpower that instead should be directed toward their work.
