Born in the Eighties and a teen of the Noughties, I never thought I’d live to see the day when I read the following sentence: Trinny Woodall wears the same T-shirt every day. It beggars belief that the Trinny I knew of – one half of Trinny and Susannah, co-presenter of What Not to Wear, fashion guru extraordinaire, and the woman who encouraged us all to bankrupt ourselves by buying Rigby and Peller bras – would pick one modest item of clothing and stick with it. But that is precisely the reality we now inhabit.
To be clear, it’s not the same same T-shirt – there’s no hygienerelated cause for concern here. Speaking to The Telegraph about her weekend routine, Woodall, who has pivoted from fashion to launching her own skincare and makeup line, said: “Saturday is generally a cool pair of jeans day. I like Me+Em barrel jeans. Many people don’t like them, I happen to love them. I wear a white T-shirt with shoulder pads from Zara, which I’ve worn every single day for about four months – not the same one, I must say – with a blazer and sunglasses.”
Of course, most of us will have favoured items that we can throw on without thinking: the one pair of jeans that properly hugs your bum, say; a loose Breton top that fits no matter what weight fluctuations occur; timeless brown boots that go with anything. I’ve got four identical black M&S vest tops because I wear them so frequently; two And Other Stories soft, funnel-neck jumpers in different colours; three pairs of Lucy & Yak dungarees (apparently obnoxiously ubiquitous for middle-class women in their thirties and forties). But “Every single day for about four months”? Isn’t that a boredom-inducing bridge too far?
