Here is a collection of six Tāmaki Makaurau-based stylists who show us how they incorporate outfit repeating into their lives in many cool, creative ways. I promise these outfit repeaters are nothing but boring.
I have no problem with outfit repeating. My belief is: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! If you know something looks good on you, why feel ashamed to wear it twice or ten times? All I need is a good pair of black boots (below the knee), a dress and a jacket or cardigan.
I most definitely hyper-fixate on specific clothing items, and I often find this obsession means I frequent one item of clothing daily. I will happily wear the same t-shirt three days in a row; I don’t care, lol.
My tips for repeating outfits are layering, accessorising and topping it off with a pair of nice shoes. Wear clothes inside out. Wear items the wrong way and use versatile pieces, like button-ups and neutral clothes, to layer on each other to create new looks.
For me, outfit repeating is a way to challenge the conventional ways of wearing any outfit. It is easy to assemble an outfit that is still you, yet the pieces are all styled differently. That’s when you are truly bringing something new to the table.
Outfit repeating is like having your own uniform. It’s personal–like having a signature scent. Outfit repeating makes getting ready silly easy when your pile of clothes is what you will wear again.
I’m a proud outfit repeater. I always wear the same jewellery set–if you dreamt about me and I wasn’t wearing the same stack, it wasn’t me! What I wear is so different to how I work with clothes. I wear my clothes as they are (I know, kinda boring), which is very different to how I style other people; I love playing around with different pieces and "wearing them wrong.”
