If you wore the same outfit to school every day, how long do you think it would take people to notice? xD
For you, not in general. And what do you think people would say?

I have a real life example, not just an estimate.



It actually takes quite a while! There is a kid in my school, and he's been in my school since grade 8 (i'm in grade 11 now) and he has worn the same sweater and jeans since grade 8. It is one plain black sweater, and crappy pair of jeans. It's disgusting, but back to the topic!



Back in grade 8, I didn't really notice. It's not something that occurs to people, unless you like memorize what EVERYBODY in your school wears, and you check every day to make sure it is different.



I found out (Was told) in grade 9 that he wears the same thing every day (He is my friend, I see him and talk every day) and I was just like whoah! Because I did not even notice. So I'd say it takes about 5-8 months for somebody to realize somebody is wearing the same thing over and over again, or if its a close friend, I bet its alot faster, maybe like 3-5 weeks.



*EDIT* After I posted this I realized everybody said about 2 days, so I realized I forgot to add that he is sort of a loser / loner so that might affect the time scale :D

For me? Well if it was just a basic shirt and jeans, then probably around a week? (I have alternating classes so I see the same people every other day). I don't think people would say anything to me (i'm pretty low key - a loner). If it was some bright dress then people would notice sooner.

i go to an all guys school where i gotta where khakis and a shirt so im guessing i could get away with 2 days before someone asks me if i wore that shirt yesterday. as far as the pants? like i said its an all guys school i can get 4 days out of one pair no one will notice
