How many times a week do you wear the same suit?

I only have two suits... one navy and one charcoal. At max I'll wear the same suit 2 times a week. Was just wondering what are your thoughts on this are. If you have a staple, solid navy suit, is there anything wrong with wearing it multiple times in the week?

I personally never wear the same thing twice in the week so I have 5X suits/ shirts etc. But when I was starting out I had like 2 or 3...so I had to be smart when rotating them, smart suits cost mega bucks so I understand completely the need to rotate..

Don't worry no one will be say anything (unless they're really stuck up and don't have anything better to do),just make sure you space them out so wear the same one Mon, Thur, another Tues, Fri and you'll be fine :)...do not wear more than twice a week, and definitely don't wear same shirt twice a week even if you washed it during the week (unless it's a white then you can get away with it because I've seen too many people doing that, if it's not a white shirt you could be giving the game away to everyone in the office with your twice weekly rotations that's why I said about the shirt as no one is going to remember a white shirt being worn twice a week!)

 

I try to wear mine only once a week, but if you've only got two (and we've all been there), try mixing up your shirts and ties. Also think about accessories to change it up, like a pocket square or lapel flower...that'll be enough of a change where most folks aren't going to notice the suit because they're noticing something else.

 

I have hit up the Jos A Bank sales to the point where I could go biweekly without wearing the same suit twice. Unfortunately I am no longer in a client facing environment and I have been reduced to business casual.
