Same style, different color
Permalink Closed


Just wondering what yall thought of buying the same style of something in multiple colors...  I run into this dilemma all the time where I love everything about a particular top so I want it in every color it comes in, but I don't want a ticket from the fashion police.  So, is it okay to have the same top or bottom in different colors?

I buy multiples of basics and/or hard-to-fit items. Tee shirts, tanks/camis, jeans and pants, skirts, even bathing suits.  Those things tend to be wardrobe-extenders, so multiples make sense.  I keep a pretty strict no multiples rule for everything else where fit is not so much of an issue, and pick things up on a piece by piece basis.

I'm with Elle. I especially do this on camis. I have six of the same basic cami because it works so well under many things. I also have four of two other types of camis. I do this with tees also.

Otherwise I don't really duplicate. If I find jeans I love, I might consider the same jean in two different washes, but that's about it.

If I find something with a fabulous fit I buy multiples, but my limit is three. Plus like the others said it's usually basics like tanks and tees.

basics for me are tees, tanks, sweatpants, and hoodies. I try to buy multiples because it's hard to find ones that fit really nicely and are well made.

I'm guilty of this. I was always taught, if you love something, buy it in every color. I do it mostly w/basics, ie a good James Perse shirt I will buy in 5 colors.


I also do this w/shoes alot bc I have a hard time finding shoes I like that are also comfortable. For instance, recently I bought the Guess Raises in black and light brown. And would buy them in more colors in a second if they made more colors.

I buy multiples.  Tees, pants, polos, even shoes.  If I love it and it comes in other colors, I'm going to get it!

I buy multiples in tees, camis and bras. Just because all these things are so hard to find that fit me well, so whenever i get a chance i stock up

I'm an offender.  If its cute and not too trendy and I wear it alot I will go back and buy more in different colors.

I've done it before, but I try not to do it..I'd rather have unique pieces. If it's just a tank top or a t-shirt, I would..but that's probably it.
