I have the same thing, some statement pieces (also timeless, like a nice coat or bag of good quality). It’s easy. I know it’ll fit me. I know I’m comfortable in it.
Not for me...I look really sick in black.....my wardrobe has colours which mix and match and suit me really well, so I do not have to go with seasonal fashion....nice vid
Nate ingeniously wormed his way into the algorithms for all of my search terms. I was looking for outfits for the tragically hip, and who popped up but Nate? I said "popped".
I used to wear a bunch of colors and crazy styles, trying to keep up with others and trends, but recently I switched to wearing very basic outfits, and I actually feel much happier! Instead of worrying about keeping up, I cam comfortably look like myself every day. Great video, Nate.
Same here. I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only person feeling that way. I used to think I have to wear eclectic/eccentric style to "express" myself or decorate my place that way, so that others would see me as a "cool" person. I started feeling lost in colours. I realized I shouldn't let what I wear to define who I am, or waste time worrying about how I look when life is offering much more than that.
Needed this! I have huge anxiety when it comes to getting new clothes. I hate spending money, hate shopping and am super indecisive on what I want. I’m a minimalist and want simplicity. Thank you! Love your videos!
I started wearing the same color wardrobe after I got heavily tattood. Most of the shirts I had clashed with the art, so I started wearing gray. I work from home so I don't need to dress up so I got rid of everything that didn't suit. Then the minimalism trend started and I realized I was ahead of the curve for once in my life. But you're right; it does save time. Laundry is a no-brainer. Most of what I have comes from online second-hand stores, so I save money on clothes. It's been a lifestyle change that's made my life easier.
As a young adult woman(21years old) in this society I usually do the 3 color rule in my wardrobe. I only buy simple and quality pieces in gray, black and white. It really helps minimise yet mix and match all of what I have. Plus it doesn't come off repetitive, or at least I think no one to little people notice 💁. It's not their business anyway
I have started moving more and more to a uniform. This year, well as from later this week will, will be my first time frame that I will start with a uniform Monday to Friday, white shirt black pants. Think I will play a bit with earrings and maybe shoes, though I mostly wear one pair of shoes anyway. Will keep weekends for changing it up a bit. Oh and I started also using only one colour Cutex, a very light pink. I will see how it goes, maybe I will change it once the bottle is finished. Also playing with the idea of imitating the Queen and maybe just opting for Essie's ballet slippers to become my signature nail colour
Tbh no one notices! Unless someone is highly invested in your life, they won’t notice at all. I knew someone who wore the same 2 outfits for like 2-3 months and when she told me she did that I was like “really??” I didn’t even notice! It’s crazy.
After watching this video I feel like throwing half my closet in a garbage bag. Can’t wait to decluttering a bit. Thanks for sharing your personal reasons with us🤗
For anyone wanting a step up from wearing the same thing every day, besides a few changes, try a capsule wardrobe instead. In a good capsule wardrobe, everything will match (and that doesn’t mean only wearing neutral colours like black, white or grey). My recommendation is that if you don’t know how to match colours together, try looking at seasonal colour palettes. In a seasonal colour palette, all autumn colours will go together, all summer colours will go together, and so forth. I also recommend doing a basic seasonal colour analysis and figuring out the most flattering colours for your complexion. It's worth spending time figuring it out because then you'll have colours that you never thought of wearing. If that's too difficult, just match warm colours with warm and cool with cool. Nothing will clash but you may look sick if you wear the opposite season's colours. Also, if you are purchasing clothing every year because they don’t last longer than a season, then you’re purchasing bad quality clothing. Clothes should last 5 years minimum. Not fall apart after a season of regular use. Learn the proper way to take care of clothing, what fabrics are more stable than others and avoid shopping too often at fast fashion stores. Buying ten $5 t-shirts over 5 years is the worse that getting one $30 t-shirt that’ll last 5 years.
I love watching your videos because we're almost polar opposites. I'm not a hoarder but I love having things, and a I have a passion for fashion. It's lovely to see someone on the other side of the spectrum
I’ve been thinking about experimenting with a ‘uniform’ at work. I work an office job that wouldn’t allow me to wear jeans and a t-shirt, which I feel is often the go-to minimalist wardrobe. But I bet I could do the same color pants, a white shirt, and toss a different jacket on each day that would match and no one would think it odd.
I adapted wearing black about two months ago, I agree it's so easy and simple when shopping or doing laundry. I also just finished doing the 30 day minimalist declutter challenge yesterday, it was incredible! I realized how much I've spent and can save now, and living a simple life can make me so happy :-)
Thank you. My coworker asked why I always wear black. Because that's my choice. It's just easier to limit my wardrobe style and I now don't think about what I wear anymore.
During my usual workweek, I wear 5 assorted T-shirts; the same pair of jeans for the week (they don't really get dirty doing my work); and I alternate between 2 pairs of shoes. Fresh undies & socks daily, of course. The only choice I spend time on is which T-shirt to wear this day.
Bro this video is so great. I've watched so many videos on minimalist fashion but this video really helped me the most! Your tips on wearing black (no stains, wash together) are SO helpful! I'm going to try to cut down on my wardrobe and try to piece together an outfit I can wear to university everyday!
I wear all black all the time as well. Sometimes it gets depressing so I wear a white shirt but then I’m back to the black tee the next day. Keeping it simple goes a long way. One thing I can’t get over though is my Jordan’s lol i don’t buy all the releases but I do buy the ones I like which are overpriced but they’ll never go out of style and there pretty durable for the most part. As I grow older I started to get over trends And learned keep in it simple is the way to go.
I was a fashion business major and i absolutely thrive on getting dressed up every day and changing up my look but this was an interesting watch, i respect your minimalistic ways haha
Target is a good place for both guys and girls to get quality cheap clothing. GAP is good for Jeans. Neutral colors so everything always matches. Only time I get fancy is when I wear a suit but even then my most expensive suit is $150.
*I have a lot of blue shirts, but different styles and brands. So yes, time is important. The hardest part is picking out what blue shirt I'm going to wear.* 🤣
I do something similar. I have an outfit for each day of the week. Makes it easy in the morning to get dressed. No guessing involved. Thanks for posting.
OMG people in the USA spend around 160 dollars a month on clothing?? I spend that amount a year on clothing and I am doing fine....Very refreshing to see a young man like yourself being sane and spreading the sanity! Good luck! Love from Germany.
I highly recommend Woolite dark. Keeps your black clothes looking brand new much longer. A few dollars more expensive, but well work to preserve black/dark blue clothes. And it's Woolite so very gentle.
I have actually worn the same clothes for over 9 years. Same shirts same colors, just have a bunch of the same thing. I love it. Great video and keep Saving Money.
I live in Florida and work at home so pretty much all tshirts and shorts for me, wahoo! And thrift stores work for almost everything as well as helping the environment by keeping stuff from going to the landfill!
Great video Nate! Thanks for the breakdown and good points. I love adding up the time you save each day and looking at it on a monthly or yearly basis.
I wear mostly black and dark blue tee shirts, jumpers and jeans. I also hike, so lots of technical gear for all weather conditions, and a few cycling clothes. I have branded trainers (sneakers) and smart casual and smart shoes, a couple of suits (black and grey/gray), formal shirts and one tux. If you have clothes you never wear or wear rarely, maybe time to give them to charity shops. Go through your wardrobe and place clothes in categories: jeans and casual trousers (pants), casual and formal shirts, tee shirts and other casual tops, jumpers (sweaters), underwear drawer, sock drawer etc. As you wear stuff through the month, once laundered, place it on a separate rail - not back in your wardrobe - or section off your wardrobe. Anything from your wardrobe you wear, do the same thing. At the end of a month or two, you will see what you wear regularly hanging on that rail. Now open your wardrobe and see what you can easily sell or give away from the never-wear clothes in there. Fold these items and take them to the charity shop or put them on eBay. Anything you might need or need occasionally (formal clothes for special occasions, snow gear etc) can now be pushed to the back of the wardrobe or hung elsewhere. Now place all of your regular wear from the clothes rail back into your wardrobe in their various categories. You now have your perfect clothing that you know you wear all of the time. Reducing colours and styles means you can mix and match easily, so adding colour/color to your outfit is easy - a red, blue, yellow, green, purple or pink blouse will work with black pants for example. A black dress can be accessorised with any colour - scarf, bag, shoes etc. A white shirt will go with blue, grey or black jeans, and so on. Just a few items can in this way make up outfits for an entire week - they look different but are all combos of the same few colours and styles. Job done.
I’ve recently added a new constraint of only purchasing solid color tops that are black, navy, or grey. I enjoy a little variety, but love the more simplistic approach to my capsule wardrobe.
as a girl and a shopaholic I will not be doing this lmao but i def agree with cleaning out your closet and finding pieces that are most functional and that you can actually wear on a regular basis.
my mom said that fashion are "go around". I mean old is gold. so now I wear some of my mom cloth for working. I believe nothing is wrong in fashion as long as you comfortable with it. Nice video!
I've started to get my wardrobe more minimal too, because I changed as a person. It really is way more easier to know that basically everything in your wardrobe goes with each other. The only things that I own that don't work with everything that well together are some unique pieces that I simply love and the clothes that I wear at home. There I just take the first thing on the top and that's it because I want to be comfy when I'm home and do some work or study :D When it comes to choosing the things I want to wear for the next day, I simply do that mentally while I can't do any other thing. For example while I'm cooking or on the subway. That's a way how I use the "lost" time there too.
I began shifting this way about a year and a half ago and frankly it is probably one of the best options of course I did add in a little mix of some other colors to my wardrobe but I also still have some business attire for when I do have to actually wear a suit or actually dress up as a professional but for my day-to-day business casual or casual pretty much just went down to some basics pretty much what you talk about in this video and you know there's a lot of benefits of going that way.
I wear same clothes each and everyday, mainly jeans and polos I buy for years, same exact model each time, only buying when I need a new one AND it's on sale at my target price. Quality but not pricey. There is another advantage: you will have a "style" that will make everyone recognize and identify you at first glance! I think it's the most underrated quality of wearing the same clothes each and everyday. So choose wisely, basics are timeless, and my polos are also black to survive bbq attacks!
please do make a video about your history-ish (?) - how your family influenced you to save in a very young age. the things that molded you to be minimalist, invest at 18 years old. and so on. i love your vids so much. and i think i like you lol you're attractive, as well as your attitude and mindset. i cant find those features on boys at our school so good thing u exist
I do this too, but just not as extreme. 3 pants, 2 shorts (grey, black) and 4 different colors of shirts (also neutral). Gives some variety but everything matches everything still. Also buy quick drying materials so I can use them anytime (gym, running, everyday) and wash and hang them to dry.
WTG! Aloha with the summer shirt! lol, I like it though. It's incredible man. I wish I had your financial IQ at your age. Re-building my life from scratch (literally) at age 43 (almost 44) here (I think it's a good topic for a video: I see many people re-directing their lives at this point). Greetings from Lima, Peru and keep the good job. Congratulations and tons of good vibes!
Great points. I personally only wear black, gray, hunter green and occasionally white. The only reason I mix in hunter green and white is to just show others I'm not wearing the same clothes everyday lol. Most of my jeans are all shades of gray and black but my go to favorite outfit is plain black T with medium gray jeans. 👌
My typical daily outfit: dark blue jeans, brown and black walking shoes (currently Sketchers) and a black t-shirt. No collars. No pockets and above all, no logos. I'm a man, not a billboard. You want me to display your logo? You're going to pay me to do it.
I'm a woman who wears black most of the time. I hv specific pants that fit well. Oddly enough my favorite black tops come from a random discount store for $6. They're very fitted. I love when I find them. Especially for women we can take that black outfit, add tons of jewelry or a few basic pieces & it looks fabulous. Sometimes add a long black or grey cardigan. I buy my shoes from Clark's. Always black, some heels, some wedges etc. The only thing I'll switch up in shoes is nice white converse. I love the nicer ones that don't tie. They look like they do but don't. Black is always a great option
I have 2 batches of laundry. The Blacks which include most of my pants, jackets, and towel. And the Whites which include my bed sheet, blanket, and pillow cases.
I don't spend time thinking about what to wear but I have a variety. I fold my clothes similar to how they do at the mall (trifold front facing), it takes me less time than hanging them up (I know a quick way of doing it).....this gives me 2 positives: 1. clothes out of the laundry get folded and put right on the stack at the back of the shelf. I simply grab the next shirt that's on the front of the shelf, and push the stack to the front when I run out. 2. I don't have to look for the tags to find the "front" (most of my clothes are printed tags)....since they are all front fold facing, I can pick one up and put it on without looking. I rotate all my clothes pretty much the same way.....and bonus (for minimalist mindset), if I come across a piece that either doesn't fit, I don't "feel like wearing it," or is ripped, it goes in the charity bin or trash right away. I don't have clothes just lying around in a box hoping for nostalgia, it's just clothes.

Best quality, stylish, unbranded clothing has to be Uniqlo. Slightly more expensive than H&M but the quality is superior. Also, no garish logos.
I totally agree on the quality of UNIQLO clothing,

UNIQLO definitely! Best basics
I agree on this.
Unfortunatly, I feel like women get judged a lot more if they wear the same thing everyday. :(

I wear mostly black and dark blue tee shirts, jumpers and jeans. I also hike, so lots of technical gear for all weather conditions, and a few cycling clothes. I have branded trainers (sneakers) and smart casual and smart shoes, a couple of suits (black and grey/gray), formal shirts and one tux. If you have clothes you never wear or wear rarely, maybe time to give them to charity shops. Go through your wardrobe and place clothes in categories: jeans and casual trousers (pants), casual and formal shirts, tee shirts and other casual tops, jumpers (sweaters), underwear drawer, sock drawer etc. As you wear stuff through the month, once laundered, place it on a separate rail - not back in your wardrobe - or section off your wardrobe. Anything from your wardrobe you wear, do the same thing. At the end of a month or two, you will see what you wear regularly hanging on that rail.

Anything you might need or need occasionally (formal clothes for special occasions, snow gear etc) can now be pushed to the back of the wardrobe or hung elsewhere. Now place all of your regular wear from the clothes rail back into your wardrobe in their various categories. You now have your perfect clothing that you know you wear all of the time. Reducing colours and styles means you can mix and match easily, so adding colour/color to your outfit is easy - a red, blue, yellow, green, purple or pink blouse will work with black pants for example. A black dress can be accessorised with any colour - scarf, bag, shoes etc. A white shirt will go with blue, grey or black jeans, and so on. Just a few items can in this way make up outfits for an entire week - they look different but are all combos of the same few colours and styles. Job done.
I'd say simplifying your wardrobe also reduces one's carbon footprint.

as a girl and a shopaholic I will not be doing this lmao but i def agree with cleaning out your closet and finding pieces that are most functional and that you can actually wear on a regular basis.
my mom said that fashion are "go around". I mean old is gold. so now I wear some of my mom cloth for working. I believe nothing is wrong in fashion as long as you comfortable with it. Nice video!
I've started to get my wardrobe more minimal too, because I changed as a person. It really is way more easier to know that basically everything in your wardrobe goes with each other. The only things that I own that don't work with everything that well together are some unique pieces that I simply love and the clothes that I wear at home. There I just take the first thing on the top and that's it because I want to be comfy when I'm home and do some work or study :D
When it comes to choosing the things I want to wear for the next day, I simply do that mentally while I can't do any other thing. For example while I'm cooking or on the subway. That's a way how I use the "lost" time there too.
I began shifting this way about a year and a half ago and frankly it is probably one of the best options of course I did add in a little mix of some other colors to my wardrobe but I also still have some business attire for when I do have to actually wear a suit or actually dress up as a professional but for my day-to-day business casual or casual pretty much just went down to some basics pretty much what you talk about in this video and you know there's a lot of benefits of going that way.
I just have 2 looks; my uniform or my pyjamas :D
Same number of options as me but mine are either: dressed or not.
Be a superhero and you can only wear one... pyjama as your uniform
I wear same clothes each and everyday, mainly jeans and polos I buy for years, same exact model each time, only buying when I need a new one AND it's on sale at my target price. Quality but not pricey.
There is another advantage: you will have a "style" that will make everyone recognize and identify you at first glance!
I think it's the most underrated quality of wearing the same clothes each and everyday.
So choose wisely, basics are timeless, and my polos are also black to survive bbq attacks!
Cool "spice things up...summer" shirt. 🌺🤙🏻☺️
please do make a video about your history-ish (?) - how your family influenced you to save in a very young age. the things that molded you to be minimalist, invest at 18 years old. and so on. i love your vids so much. and i think i like you lol you're attractive, as well as your attitude and mindset. i cant find those features on boys at our school so good thing u exist
wish you spoke about shoes! how do you keep that minimal? where to shop?
One other reason is I hate choosing what to wear,I hate clothing shopping, so definitely agree with you
"didn't work out for her too well" haha, well said.
Wow I love your reasons. I wear all white, and this style makes my life easy and simple.
I recommend to watch this documental name the true cost on Netflix
The True Cost? I'll check it out.
I went to goodwill stocked up on winter clothes about 60 bucks few things from Walmart helps alot thanks for your videos
Goodwill is an excellent option, especially if you are faced with a low budget

I'm happy I'm not the only one who does this haha great minds think alike :)
:)
I do this too, but just not as extreme. 3 pants, 2 shorts (grey, black) and 4 different colors of shirts (also neutral). Gives some variety but everything matches everything still. Also buy quick drying materials so I can use them anytime (gym, running, everyday) and wash and hang them to dry.
WTG! Aloha with the summer shirt! lol, I like it though. It's incredible man. I wish I had your financial IQ at your age. Re-building my life from scratch (literally) at age 43 (almost 44) here (I think it's a good topic for a video: I see many people re-directing their lives at this point). Greetings from Lima, Peru and keep the good job. Congratulations and tons of good vibes!
You got this!
And when the black color tends to fade out, it's easy to dye your garments in your washing machine. You get them as brand new!
Beside by being smart,intellectual and funny you are so handsome 😍 😊
Yes, I have been at this since 16 and couldn't agree more.
I am worrying about time while Im watching TH-cam wasting my life lol. great video though !!!
Great points. I personally only wear black, gray, hunter green and occasionally white. The only reason I mix in hunter green and white is to just show others I'm not wearing the same clothes everyday lol. Most of my jeans are all shades of gray and black but my go to favorite outfit is plain black T with medium gray jeans. 👌
My typical daily outfit: dark blue jeans, brown and black walking shoes (currently Sketchers) and a black t-shirt. No collars. No pockets and above all, no logos. I'm a man, not a billboard. You want me to display your logo? You're going to pay me to do it.
Glad you agree on the logo part
@ To each their own, guy. Doesn't matter to me.
Awesome vid Nate. I usually end up with a lot of black, grey, and blue outfits anyway so this one really show that I'm not alone.
Neutral colors are the way to go
"I change my clothing everyday" 😂 don't worry we believe you
I was confused though.😂 I thought he’s wearing the same dress every day!😝
Hi Nate, I’m from Mexico and I really like your mindset, also I can improve my English watching your videos, te mando mucho amor
Wow you just made me realize how valuable of an asset time is 😳 I'm shook asf
Number one resource
I'm a woman who wears black most of the time. I hv specific pants that fit well. Oddly enough my favorite black tops come from a random discount store for $6. They're very fitted. I love when I find them. Especially for women we can take that black outfit, add tons of jewelry or a few basic pieces & it looks fabulous. Sometimes add a long black or grey cardigan. I buy my shoes from Clark's. Always black, some heels, some wedges etc. The only thing I'll switch up in shoes is nice white converse. I love the nicer ones that don't tie. They look like they do but don't. Black is always a great option
*I see you steve jobs* 💪🎭
Time is the most precious & valuable thing ever hands down!
Skrillex called, he wants his style back
I have 2 batches of laundry. The Blacks which include most of my pants, jackets, and towel. And the Whites which include my bed sheet, blanket, and pillow cases.
Shirts?
Haha it's a given. But yeah, I only have black and white shirts. With a few greys.
I wanted to do this, but my wife wasn’t about it 😕
If you're just looking for solid colors, including whites or blacks, you can get Gildan shirts from online bulk stores for around $3.00 each.
"Does this look good in public?" SAID NO WALMARTIAN EVER!
I don't spend time thinking about what to wear but I have a variety. I fold my clothes similar to how they do at the mall (trifold front facing), it takes me less time than hanging them up (I know a quick way of doing it).....this gives me 2 positives:
1. clothes out of the laundry get folded and put right on the stack at the back of the shelf. I simply grab the next shirt that's on the front of the shelf, and push the stack to the front when I run out.
2. I don't have to look for the tags to find the "front" (most of my clothes are printed tags)....since they are all front fold facing, I can pick one up and put it on without looking.
I rotate all my clothes pretty much the same way.....and bonus (for minimalist mindset), if I come across a piece that either doesn't fit, I don't "feel like wearing it," or is ripped, it goes in the charity bin or trash right away. I don't have clothes just lying around in a box hoping for nostalgia, it's just clothes.
