As part of HuffPost’s “Reclaim” project, HuffPost Style will focus the month of September on simple ways to educate yourself on becoming a better consumer.
If there’s one thing even the most fabulous fashionistas have in common with the Mark Zuckerbergs of the world, it’s that finding a signature style or outfit can be life-changing.
Not only can wearing something you feel great in boost your confidence, but having a uniform can also help prevent clothing waste, an issue that negatively impacts the environment every single day.
Hear us out.
If we, as consumers, can actively cut back on our purchases and invest in just a few pieces that we wear over and over, we can make a difference.
Basically, less clothing = less waste = a happy environment and an even happier wallet.
Need some inspiration? We’ve rounded up 10 of the most famous outfit repeaters below. Some of them take repeating very literally, wearing the same particular piece several times. Others take a looser translation, repeating a specific style but maybe not necessarily wearing the same piece over and over. Either way, take inspiration from this idea: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
