How do you feel when you see someone wearing the same shirt and trousers like you. One day i was going to college, i had work a dark green formal shirt with cream colored trousers. From the time i started i had barely walked 10 minutes i saw 15 people wearing the same kind of dress. Though it was not a uniform or something. I felt a bit odd being so common. I went home and changed myslef and then went to college. How would you feel if this happened to you???

I would probably react, but it is not like it is the end of the world or anything, so I wouldn't get too upset about it. I mean, what's the point? There is not much you can do about it at that point anyway!

i only feel awkward when it is a printed shirt, i make me shrink and if possible I wanna go home quickly to change, but in plane shirts it does not bother me much..

Oh my, I would definitely feel awkward! I'm the type of person who wants to be unique and different from everybody else. If it's possible, I'd go home too and pick the best clothes in my closet. I'd even go to the nearest mall and buy new clothes if there are no other options.

Yeah when I see somebody wearing the same clothes as me I feel a bit awkward you know really don't like it I feel embarassed and such. Like at my school I couldn't really do anything about it so I would just avoid that person and hopefully I didn't see them around because you know that's just weird for me.I don't know if other people like it when they see somebody else wearing the same clothes as them, but it's just not for me that's why I always bring a jacket or sweater with me just in case because you never know. I really enjoyed your discussion ANIME123 is out and going to go mylot some more.

I don't like it when I see someone wearing the exact same thing for the reason that I really dig everything unique (and positive). :) I would probably do the same thing, or avoid the person altogether (except if he/she is a close friend).

15 people were wearing the same outfit as you? My goodness! I like to be different but not too different. I also recognize that they make more than one of what I wear so it is a chance of seeing someone in the same thing I wear but to see so many at one time is a bit too much!

I am old enough to just laugh at such things, but i do remember when this would have bothered me. Now I just wear a shirt and jeans which I dress up with a fancy coat when going out. Good thing I live on the West Coast where clothing is casual.

Well it will be funny. And of course awful. As if your twins, I would like to approach the guy and have a picture with him. But of course, he might not find it the way I found it.

I am the kind of person that doesn't really care if someone is wearing the same thing as I am. I feel that it is my personality, and not the clothes I am wearing that makes me who I am. On another note, the fact that you saw so many people wearing the same thing, means that the outfit was in style! Try dressing the outfit up to add your own flare. Wear a handkerchief in the pocket, or maybe a nice belt, shoes or a pretty awesome hat! make the outfit work for you!!! I hope this helps!!

Two of my old college pals and I decided to dress exactly the same for one day, just to freak the professor out. It was a Public Speaking class and we sat in the back row. The teacher would call us the back row gang, when he would call upon us. So we thought we'd get him back by wearing matching outfits, two girls and one dude. The whole class got a kick out of it, as well as the teacher......Fun times....

For me If there is people wearing the same dress that I have maybe at first I will be a little bit conscious, but on the contrary I know my taste for dress is good.So for me it will change to flattered because your taste to clothes is good and you have guys also like the dress code that you have.

It's happend to me once, I hated it I just don't want to look like someone else. Its always the worse when the other person just looks awful in it and makes your top look frumpy or unflattering! I just don't even deal with it, for the most part now when I go shopping I buy what I know most people can't afford and wouldn't likely wear and I buy a few sale items here and there but I also shop mostly at boutiques where only a few versions are made so I know its highly unlikely that i'll run the 4 other ppl that bought my shirt or jeans or dress.

This same thing happened in our training class yesterday. Not actually almost same colors (with shirts and trousers),but most of the class wearing green colored dress (t-shirts and blouses) Then again today,most of the trainees wear violet. This really could be a laugh. We wonder what will be the color of the day for tomorrow (i hope it is not black)coz i am going to wear black tomorrow

I once had another person wearing the same shirt as me.It was a pleasant surprise.But i'd go crazy if 10 people on my way to college all wore the same outfit as me.I'd go and do exactly what you did,change into a new pair of clothes.

Actually that was happened to me long time ago that I wore the same clothes of someone that I do not know, and then we look at each other and smile. For me not so embbarassing but of course i felt like we are twins lol. I think she also bought that clothe on the same shop where I bought mine so now I don't buy clothes that has the same stle and I ask first if how many stock do they have before I purchase the prodct.

I'd feel really awkward if that happened to me. I wouldn;t care if it was one other girl that had the same outfit as me...but if it was a bunch of people I'd go back and change if I had the opportunity to. lol I like to be different.
