Don't you wish your simple wardrobe could bring you instant viral fame? If you're Saatchi & Saatchi Art Director Matilda Kahl, you know exactly what this feels like. If you haven't already heard, Matilda wears the same outfit to work every day. And she's been doing so for years.

Why, you ask? In an interview  with Ad Age, she explains: "The main motivation was that I understood how much time and energy I'd save if I could just take out the clothing aspect of my working days. We have so many great creative challenges at Saatchi that I'd rather spend my time on that, not picking out a new outfit every morning."

Hmm, sounds very guy-like. Also very practical. Why waste your time trying to be creative with your clothing when you can direct all that energy toward being creative at work?

Matilda adds: "Before I had a uniform, I re-evaluated my outfit throughout the day, wondering if what I was wearing really did a good job of reflecting me as the creative I want to be. Now, when I have an outfit that I once picked out and that I'm happy with, I can lay all my good energy on my work instead. To only be judged on my creative ability at work and not how well I dress really is a real confidence boost."
