I was in the Army and I hated most aspects of it. But one thing I really liked was the uniform. Just waking up and putting on the BDUs and not having to think about what to wear was great. Also, it eliminates comparison between others. You don’t have to worry if you’re under-dressed or over-dressed cause you are wearing the same thing as everyone else.
It worked in Star Trek, right? Well, unless you were a redshirt.
Exactly. There are times uniforms and dress codes are necessary, but they ansolutely shouldn’t be universal.
There’s nothing stopping OP from just picking a style and going with it - I do. The majority of my outfits follow the simple formula of cardigan/jacket and complimentary t-shirt, Jeans, trainers, and whatever underwear is in the top of the drawer. It works for the majority of contexts, and I can always tweak it to be smarter or more casual.
