If you were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, what would it be?

If I had to wear the same outfit every day, my pick would be a classic t-shirt and jeans. Why? It’s simple: this combo nails comfort, durability, and versatility like nothing else. A good t-shirt and a sturdy pair of jeans can carry you through almost any occasioncasual hangouts, semi-formal events, or even a slightly rebellious “formal” moment (sorry, traditionalists!).

These low-impact routines are kind to my body while still delivering results. On weekends, I swap the gym for a two-kilometer walk to our local market.
