Why I wear the same shirt everyday

My girlfriend asked me recently if I wear the same shirt every day. I looked at her and said yes that it just makes my life easier. While I don’t wear the “same” shirt every day I do wear the same branded shirt every day or at least for the most part. I picked up 8 black Hanes X-Temp Performance shirts from Amazon. They’re super comfortable, lightweight, well-fitting, not too expensive, and even though they’re black shirts they do keep me cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter than regular shirts. The black shirt fits well with any piece of clothing, shorts, pants, hats, and workout clothes. It’s by far one of the best investments I’ve made in my life so I figured why not write 6 things that wearing the same shirt every day has improved.

It makes my decisions in the morning easier. When you first wake up some of us take a shower, clean up, and put on clothes to get the day going. Before my black shirt obsession, I would spend 5 to 10 minutes picking out the right outfit for that day and changing it like 3 times in that whole process. Now it’s as simple as looking up the weather getting shorts or pants and putting on a black shirt.

It makes doing laundry faster. This one sounds weird but it’s true. I wear all cool colors such as blacks, blues, greys. So one load of colors in the wash is all I need. It cuts the wait time, saves water by only doing one load, and it would save money if I were to go to a laundry matte.

Speaking of saving money it also saves me money. Instead of buying shirts from name-brand places for anywhere between 20 and 60 dollars, I pick up an X-Temp shirt for 7.75 on Amazon. In the last 30 days the shirt hasn’t changed much and you can always find a good deal on it a few days later.

Since it’s a black shirt I tend to blend in while working out. Black is a great color to workout in. The color matches most of the gym equipment. No one reads your shirt since there’s no text to read. The X-Temp keeps the sweat off your body. It looks just like most gym clothes any pro would wear. This has my things so much easier. I get out of class and can go straight to the gym with a pair of workout shorts.

It’s a timeless look that I won’t look back and worry about. Have you ever looked at an old family photobook, or saw an old Snapchat memory that looks bad? I have for a long time back in middle school I would only wear Disney shirts that didn’t fit that well on me. I was a fat child and none of my middle school pictures put me in a good light. Now that I’m in college I have an all-black fit that works for everything.

It works for every occasion. So my final point is that it works for every event. Every day, workouts, pictures, presentations, funerals, and many more events that you have to attend or work. You won’t stand out if you’re not much of a talker or if you’re working the event you’ll be able to run everything without drawing attention to yourself.

Now I’m not saying everyone should go out and buy a ton of their favorite shirts and wear them every day. It wouldn’t work with everyone’s different style that makes them unique. However, if you’re having trouble picking from different outfits in the morning or having something stable in these unstable times I would check out getting a few X-Temp shirts to wear. They’ve changed my morning routine for the better. I’ll go ahead and link the shirt here in case you want to find one for yourself https://www.amazon.com/Hanes-X-Temp-Performance-T-Shirt-Black/dp/B00KBZTA4G/ref=pd_yo_rr_rp_1/133-0944606-4960901?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00KBZTA4G&pd_rd_r=80c5c5a9-99cd-43e2-9b67-d70e07fb4556&pd_rd_w=wswsC&pd_rd_wg=WYoye&pf_rd_p=86d2f687-d077-4d7a-9732-4a11d357877b&pf_rd_r=A48JQ9BY9BPVM52Q70DP&psc=1&refRID=A48JQ9BY9BPVM52Q70DP .
