Another Shirt Tip
Now that you can get your shirts on and off more quickly… Let’s inject some style into the wardrobe situation. Don’t worry, it doesn’t require spending any more money.
Just make sure that when you go to put that shirt back in your closet, take an extra second (the one you saved by putting on quicker earlier) and make sure it goes to the back of the rack. Then you can just take the first shirt that’s there and put it on really fast! It’s like the “top of the drawer” approach for the stylish. You can even sort your shirts, so if you’ve got long sleeve for cooler climes, and short sleeve button downs for when the weather is a little warmer, you can move the “categories” around so the best available choice is always the First Choice.
This will, obviously, decrease the so-called “repeat” outfits, instantly making you more stylish than probably half of the people you work with.
The categorization also works well if your apartment/house has fairly small closets (or relatively few of them) and you have to share with someone else. I know that the first shirt after my wife’s clothes will be the one I’m going to wear.* I know it’s going to be clean, and since I limit the number of pants I have to only go with the shirts I have, I know the rest of my wardrobe will fall into place around it. (That’s a whole different post, though, isn’t it?)
*I let her have the front of the closet since I’ve got about 7 inches on her and it’s easier for me to reach back there.
