When I got my most recent job I decided to build myself a “work uniform.”
I have five pairs of the exact same RL Polo chinos in five colours: navy blue, black, grey, army green, brown.
I have five of the exact same Lacoste polo in five colours: baby blue, navy blue, black, hunter green, burgundy, white.
For when it gets cold I have five of the exact same Nadaam cashmere sweater in black, grey, camel, royal blue, and red.
And then there’s my “teacher thing.” You know how some teachers are like “fun tie teacher” or “suspenders teacher.” My “teacher thing” is that I have a zillion chuck taylors (the chuck 70, they have twice as much cushioning as regular chucks) in all different colors and patterns.
Now I just play “mix-and-match” every morning and pretty much every colour combination works as long as I’m not going black-on-black-on-black.
