Modasteve Jobs, The Ramones and until Quentin Tarantino have demonstrated the magic of having a uniform for every day.

Is it worth using the same look always?Not only does it use, some of the most successful and creative men in the world say it is one of the keys to their success.That not only helped them create a personal image (we challenge you to not think of Steve Jobs when thinking about a high black neck sweater), but to stop being stressed by clothes and know that, what will happen, you alwaysThey were going to see well.
It is not an issue of being boring or not creative, rather it is a personal preference and knowing that there are things that are better than anyone else, which are a reflection of your personality and to control the way in whichothers perceive you.
Fashion allows you to be as creative as you want, but in a world full of color and crazy trends, using the same look again and again is almost an act of rebellion.The Ramones went everywhere with leather jackets and jeans, Kanye West puts the same thing in different colors and Barack Obama told Vanity Fair that “I just use blue or gray suits.I am trying to reduce decisions about what I am eating or using, because I have many other decisions to make ”.Leonardo DiCaprio has also used using the same look for years and takes it to look much more attractive on the red carpet.
You believe it or not, have your own uniform with classic looks, with your favorite rotation garments, it is also a way of expressing your individuality, of showing that you will not fall before each trend, but that you will go for what it makes youFeel more comfortable and sure (like when James Bond puts his costumes).
How to always carry the same?
You do not want it to seem that you did not think and that you are not interested in your appearance, so, if you are going to put a version of the same look every day you must be sure that each element looks perfect for you.
The shirt cannot squeeze or be too large, the pants should stay in the exact fucking of the shoe, the tshirts must have the correct material and cut and the jackets, sweatshirts and bags must be flattering.
Think of Kanye West.The rapper uses exactly the same almost always (you can add a jacket for winter), but it does not seem because it adds different colors and combinations.Pants, pants and sneakers are their daily bread, but uses them in a range of colors that they like and that pass through the entire Black to the red from head to toe (as it took at the launch of Donda).
Another tip that you can take from Kanye is that of the use of accessories (although you might not put a balaclavas).If you want your usual looks to look more creative or different, you can add small accessories such as chains, neck scarves or sunglasses to have a little more variety.
A uniform that lasts forever cannot be too specific to a trend, so it must be formed mainly by classic garments (such as Steve Jobs's high neck or Obama's buttons shirt).
What you can do is play with different tennis or add a piece of statement or in response to the trends of the moment, so you will get your look to look today regardless of the passage of time.
You can take the same look to many places, but you can definitely not go from jeans to a wedding and they will see you weird if you go in a suit to the beach.To avoid that, it is important that you have different versions of a uniform for each situation, with formal, casual and even sports options.
It is not about putting on the same shirt travels until it breaks, but also having enough versions of the garment to have a good rotation, so that your clothes are always clean and do not go through life with holes.
It is important that you replace your clothes when it is already too worn or damaged, so you will look more sophisticated, professional and fixed at all times.
