Knowing what you like and sticking to it can work well, but there’s always a danger of getting stuck in a rut. If you rely too heavily on too few garments, your life can quickly turn into a sort of sartorial Groundhog Day where you find yourself defaulting to the same outfit over and over again. Suffice to say this isn’t the most effective way to keep your look fresh.
When you’re in that cycle, it can be hard to break out. You become blind to other options, and when you do try something different, you might feel it looks contrived (even if it doesn’t to anyone else).
