Textile blindness – I have NOTHING to wear!

“I have nothing to wear again!” Who hasn’t heard this sentence from themselves or from their wife, who, like every day, stands in front of their full closet and doesn’t know what to wear?

Textile blindness – every blouse counts! – The choice is difficult

"Good morning!" comes the radio. "Today will be a sunny day. The birds are chirping. It's just before 07.00 a.m. and some early risers are already rushing to work." Still half asleep, SHE stands there in front of her wardrobe and doesn't know what to wear: one of many women in this world who simply has so much to wear in her wardrobe that she no longer knows what to wear.

Today, of all days, on this important day, when the department head will ask her to give a speech to the assembled employees, she hasn't found the right thing. She thinks about various combinations.

Blouses and trousers are ripped off the hanger and tried on. Time is running out and she still hasn't found anything that she likes for this important day. In the end, she goes back to the usual green sweater and the often-worn brown skirt. Does that sound familiar?

What is textile blindness?

Textile blindness occurs primarily in women who, despite having a large selection, fall into textile indecision several times a day. Women stand in front of the wardrobe, helpless, and simply don't know WHAT to wear. Since women basically rely on their feelings, which most of the time tell them that they are too fat, it is extremely difficult to find the right thing.

Can the male gender provide assistance here?

How can you help? In short, "NOT AT ALL". In order to avoid a major argument in the relationship, it would be better to simply hold back in such situations. Even the most loving words cannot help here.

Basically, everything is interpreted differently than what one might have intended. Because if he says "I think that suits you", she replies "you always say that" and if he says "I don't like that so much", she concludes "you think I'm too fat in it?"

The solution

Women who are undecided should simply choose their outfit for the next day the evening before. The advantage is that you have a clearer head when you are not under time pressure and can think about what would be suitable, and you also save valuable time in the early morning. This way you can start the day in a good mood.

Another way to solve the “problem” is to simply clean out your closet. Studies show that only 20% of the clothes in your closet are actually worn regularly.

A third option is an older system called "close your eyes and go for it." Simply close your eyes and run your finger up and down a pile of clothes until you accidentally stop at an item. And that's exactly what you put on without thinking about it for long. This is the only way to avoid bursting into tears and collapsing in front of the wardrobe and exclaiming "I've got nothing to wear!"
