👗The Story of Spending a Year in One Skirt👗【Standardizing My Personal Wardrobe】

Hello, this is Self-Questioning Fashion Communication. This time, since it has been a full two years since I perfected my wardrobe standardization, I would like to share
“the real voice of someone who has standardized their wardrobe” with you🙌

What is wardrobe standardization?

I am a “wardrobe standardization stylist” who lives with only 3 sets of clothes a year. Wardrobe standardization means creating a pattern for your fashion and rotating a “small number of clothes” like a uniform. There are people who are the type to “own multiple pieces of the same clothing” like Steve Jobs, and there are also

“ultimate minimalist” types who put together simple capsules using Uniqlo or Muji. The reasons vary from person to person, such as “wanting to reduce the number of decisions,” “wanting to live a clutter-free life,” “wanting to save money,” or “it just suits my personality”☺️

I practice a unique, egoistic form of standardization: “continuing to wear clothes I truly love from the heart.” I am the type of eccentric who thinks, “I want to keep wearing the clothes I love from the heart every single day!” I am often asked, “Don’t you get bored?” but I never get bored of this at all...! When you pursue what you love to the extreme, you surprisingly don’t get bored...🙌

2020, the year I spent in one skirt

For example, in 2020, I perfected wardrobe standardization so much that, rather than 3 sets, as far as bottoms were concerned, I lived with almost only one skirt👗 This was just so comfortable, so comfortable😭💗. It felt good to: ・Not have to think about what to wear tomorrow ・Be wearing the one piece I chose and love the most!

The care label for this skirt says no hand washing, but I washed it vigorously every night. (Of course, this is not ideal for wearing it beautifully for a long time, but since I have definitely worn it over 360 times, I hope the god of fashion will forgive me...)

What happens when you perfect wardrobe standardization?

There are many benefits to wardrobe standardization, but after continuing it for about two full years, this is how it turned out for me. Next page! (in the style of Shikujiri Sensei)

I don't buy many clothes, but I am in a state of “always satisfied & always ready to buy.” Imagine it. Even in my daily life, I am wrapped in the confidence and exhilaration of

“I am wearing my favorite clothes right now!” and even when I look at magazines, I have the leeway to think, “This is also cute,” “Maybe I’ll wear something like this next.” In Mario Kart terms, it’s like having the star melody playing constantly🚗. In other words, I am invincible🍄🌟

I recommend starting with a simple uniform

In my fashion course, I recommend that the first set for wardrobe standardization be a simple coordinate, such as monochrome, all-black, all-navy, or all-beige. (This depends on the individual☺️)

There are various reasons for this, such as “because it can handle various TPOs” or “because it makes me look neat,” but after continuing to standardize my wardrobe for two years, I realized that

“it’s easy to coordinate when I come across clothes that I truly think are cute”

is a pretty significant benefit.

For example, I always spend my time like this. ↓

Monotone + red socks is my extremely simple outfit. My standard styling method is to “add emotion with unique bags or accessories” here, but since the base outfit is simple, even if I think “this bag is cute” or “this skirt is lovely,” it almost always matches the outfit! which is the best part.

The basic outfit is white rice🍚

White rice goes well whether you eat it as is, with curry, with a pork cutlet, or with mapo tofu. Yes, “the basic outfit is white rice.”

Once you standardize one set of simple outfits, it’s okay to bring in an orange coat, match it with a large plaid scarf, or wear a flashy patterned skirt. With white rice, “it’s almost always delicious.”

Mastering a standardized wardrobe means wearing what you “love”

Ichiro Yamaguchi of Sakanaction, who is famous for standardizing his wardrobe, said this in an interview about his “2020 Best Buy” list.

When you standardize your wardrobe, you have already obtained “the things you definitely wear,” so you can safely challenge yourself with “the things you like.” This was something I felt while in the Mario Kart star state, so I was happy to see it put into words.

It’s a wonderful article, so please check it out ↓

Somehow, it turned into a conversation about how white rice is delicious halfway through, but

It was a year where my weight increased, but my clothes did not. (Just me?)

With the hope that I can go out a little more this year, let’s continue our imaginary closet ☺️
