I know we all buy multiples of some things like socks, underwear, basic Tees and sweaters in different colors but I find it a bit bizarre for someone to purchase a coat or a dress in three or four colors.  If I saw someone wearing the exact same dress except different colors to the office I would think,it a bit strange and think that the wearer has very little imagination.  Does anyone else find this a bit strange?

I agree.  If it is a basic layering item I get it but if it something distinctive I do not understand it.

I never wore dresses to work but in one job my everyday pants were jeans. If I found a good fitting pair I will buy a couple. Same when I switched jobs. Never wore skirts or dresses there either but my everyday normal was black pants. I guess I have little imagination but every job I’ve ever had has been very casual. Thank goodness.

No, not at all!

In the past, I've made multiples of the same dress - different colors.

I have three colors of the same coat.  Multiples of jackets in different colors.

I don't think there's anything unusual about it.

I have been known to buy the same garment that I love in different colors. If I like a particular print or think an item is particularly flattering, easy to wash, etc and it comes in multiple colors, I often buy more than 1. 

This suits me and I dress to please myself so if co-workers find it “strange” that’s ok. My co-workers are so busy I doubt they care what I wear.

I don’t work so that is not an issue for me. However I don’t find it strange. I bought a SG velour top that I love so much I went back and bought all the colors. So now I have 5. Change the bottoms and it never looks the same. I dress for myself and like what I like.

I don't agree. I don't wear or own any dresses so don't have multiples of those. 

I do have multiples of t-shirts, other shirts, pants, capris, jeans. When I find something that fits good I will be multiples as long as they also fit good. That's hard to do today. No 2 items ever fit the same.

Example I bought half a dozen pairs of space dye joggers with a few of them without the jogger bottom. All the same size, all made by the same company. None of them fit the same.

I hate shopping for clothes because of this so I do tend to buy multiples.

Apparently, I am "very strange and have very little imagination" because I have several dresses in different colors.  Same with sweaters, slacks and jeans.  I even have a Joan trench coat in the red and black.  That puts me in the "bizarre" category!

This summer I bought a pair of Born sandals that were perfect, comfortable and cute. I then purchased another pair in a muted orange, then later in the season , I bought brown ones on sale. I love them , and am so glad that I bought multiples.

I worked at Macy’s for many years and our dress code was very dark solid colored clothing. So when I found a certain fitting pant in black, I would buy multiples. Although I usually didn’t buy duplicates of the tops. I tried to style them with jewelry and scarves and belts. Due to a complicated and unsuccessful knee replacement, I’m unable to work in retail anymore, so I now have a closet full of black clothes.😊
