Why Steve Jobs Wore The Same Outfit Everyday
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 май 2024
- Steve Jobs is one of the most iconic entrepreneurs in history, thanks to his incredible ability to predict the future. But one of his most iconic creations wasn’t a product or company, it was actually his outfit. As early as the 1980’s, Jobs could be seen wearing a black turtleneck and blue Levis jeans. Which was very unusual for the CEO of a multi-million dollar company. By the 90s, he began wearing this signature outfit everyday. In public while visiting Apple Stores, on stage during keynote presentations, and even privately in his own home. This has left many people wondering why Jobs wore the same outfit everyday, and what prompted him to settle on a black mock turtleneck with blue jeans. So let’s find out why.

He’s like a cartoon character, never changes his outfit
Exactly my thoughts
🤣
That’s what I was about to say!
Not a cartoon, they don't need tho show off their wealth wearing new clothes , they wear what their body is comfortable in
Nah cartoons fits the clothes well...
Being an employee who's required to wear a uniform myself, I can agree that it takes the stress away from people to decide everyday what to wear. If you decide to wear a same dress everyday, your colleagues start judging and wondering why you never change. With the concept of uniforms, that's never a problem.
The Key: Don’t give a damn about what people think about you
@Danilo what I meant is if you really want t wear the same thing over and over you shouldn’t think about what people dm think about you so that you won’t be influenced to buy or wear different clothes
@Danilo oh you are right but you need to train yourself to not think about what other people think about you, it’s a process
I've done that a few times in New York but was soon discouraged to repeat. In the corporate universe people think you didn't sleep in your own place. Even underpaid secretaries are expected to spend their paycheck on rags and they can't write-off the expense. Disgusting.
Try NOT judging..... It is also free
I'd wear the same outfit everyday too if I could get away with it.
me too bro
I’d wear my denim jacket with a white shirt underneath and denim jeans. That would be my signature look lol
So true man 🤣
I wear the same thing everyday. So why can’t you?
I have 2 outfits. A suit for weddings/ funerals and an outfit of blue short sleeve shirt & blue jeans.
I have 15 of the shirts, about 6 pairs of jeans, about 10 of the same cap, 8 sets of the same glasses frames, 5 sets of the same boots.
At this point the shirts are starting to ware out, I need to find a good replacement shirt. When I do I’m buying 100 of them
As an IT intern at a company, I wore the same 2 outfits every week as it is all I could afford at that time. I got teased. Just shows it doesn't matter what you do, it's who you are that matters most to people. This is why I work with computers and not people.
I work with electronic devices but also with people and honestly I do not care for the outfit. I mostly care on special occasions, meetings or when a dress code is required. Its not about the outfit, its who you are and what you do.
@@EndritVj Looks matter more to some people. It's sad.
Fuck those people who teased you about it😒
Must say your collegues were a bunch of unproffesional crooks
Sorry you went through that , people can be dcks sometimes
I believe it's because of his minimalism. It's a lifestyle where people own stuff that meant a lot of value in their heart and because of minimalism, it helps someone focus more on the important things in life.
Minimalism in terms of the clothes you wear is bs. Clothes do not distract you from the important things in life. Some people want to express themselves through style because that makes them happy and it is completely fine. We all have different passions. Steve Jobs was simply not passionate about style or fashion.
@@theodorg.5293 cope more, consoomer.
@@JuanDiegoElViejoNino If I prefer not to wear the same outfit for a whole week, it does not mean I am a waster. lol
Jobs was a perfectionist which can lead to minimalism. When you’re picky about the details and have high standards your wants, needs and purchasing decisions changes.
@@theodorg.5293 keep capping bruh
Steve is stated as saying he wore the same thing every day because he didn’t wanna waste time thinking about what to wear every day. He claimed it was wasted energy to do this and that it could’ve been used in other ways in his life. So he chose the outfit that you see right now.
Exactly this, he got that idea from Albert Einstein.
^ This. I'm surprised this wasn't mentioned in the video
He was a very simple man and after he returned from India where he spent a lot of time and where he learned not to be attached to material things . He was in the creativity field he was a genius working day and night to create and shape the future of humanity .He liked to dress casually . In California young people were dressed casually .
I’ve heard that too Mike.
Exactly! This is what I once heard was the reason!
I never knew that New Balance shoes were part of the attire.
I was surprised too. I always thought he was a Nike fan.
@Jay Talents Ah I see. To be fair Apples advertising was about as good as it gets.
Me tooo
I think they comfortable
I've always worn those gray NB shoes. They're great, though I've switched to Salomon's which are good for the beach and hiking.
he doesn't wanted to waste his life choosing trending clothes, he made his own trend and go on with it 👍🤗💯
👍
As person who worked in the fashion industry for over 30 years as an art director, and spent most of my disposal income on appearance( $600 suits, $300 shoes, in the 1980's), after leaving that profession I started shopping at Goodwill and Walmart for the cheapest finds. I left becoming a leave to fashion. My reason was more personal. At the end of the day, all that floof doesn't make you a better person.
That's why Steve jobs is great..
hahaha he was over it😹💯
Ok I guess you are Steve jobs
In 100 years Jobs Clothes is more expensive than Bitcoin today.

@@thesloyde817 you still didn't change it?
LOL, good point.

I'm wearing the same outfit everyday too, but I haven't been famous yet...
Did you wash em tho?
you have to eat apple every day
Reverse it
wait 10 years
No, in the weekend. Still in college though.
saves time and money ;)
Tom Apple. That name got me laughing more than it should have
@@bullymaguire6388 😂😂😜
nah i see this as over love towards his money his mission is to abbandon his self and his family to make even more money whats te point of saving money if it would take you more than 10 years to spend he money you can make in 1 week ? tbis is the same as mark zuckerberg they never give their selfves reward for their hard works they will rather use their money to make more money and forget about everything important to be a happy person
@@meow-ic6gz Jobs didn’t want to make money the only thing he wanted was to create revolutionary products. If you read his autorizza biography you could also notice how he regret his orribile human being. Also he wore all days the same outfit for 2 reasons: 1) He wanted to be Apple’s icon so he started wearing the same clothes to be immediately recognised 2) He didn’t care about fashion it was secondary for him. Hope this was helpful to you and to the others reading the comment, don’t hate Steve :)
@@mrkschbrg139 even steve jobs says few dahs before he died
that he realized he dedicated his whole life making wealth instead of family bonding and taking care of his body he even says eat your food as your medicine causs if you dont youll eat medicine as your food which clearly make it more obvious steve jobs has fully abbandoned his self and his family inorder to gain more recognition and more money
Steve Jobs didn't predict the future, he shaped it.
56 years only.
Only the clothes. Not only that boring ‘creativity’ stinked, but probably also his same clothes stinked.And black... sure, the color of death. It is still ‘fashion’. What a horrible world.
He did not predict the future. He did not invent or create anything. Please!
🇺🇸 The money of the American contubuable + the benevolence of the rulers + the help of the Pentagon + the support of the devout followers = the incredible story-telling of the world champion of TAX FRAUD.
🇫🇷 L’argent du contubuable americain + la bienveillance des gouvernants + l’aide du Pentagone + le soutien des adeptes dévots = les story-telling invraisemblables du champion mondial de la FRAUDE FISCALE.
Very well said! None of us can truly predict what's to come, but we can always shape our future
Gucci, Prada, lv, Zara, Hermès have left the chat.
Walmart has entered the chat.
Oh well, more Zara for me!
$270 plain black turtleneck with some "elite" brand/signature on it doesn't do it for me.
But $10 plain black turtleneck which will disintegrate in the laundry doesn't, either.
Because we all know the _Despicle Me_ tight grey turtleneck is the best way to go!
**Gucci has left the chat**
It’s also only clothes
I just buy 5 Gucci outfits
I’m sure it all came down to comfort. Everyone likes wearing the clothes that feel the most comfortable.
Things that are quality & LAST too!
I'm Sure those Jeans
& those turtle necks,
Never get, old, Never go out of style really,...Classic, even faded, still classic!
@@zodsinclair8500 lol definitely out of style.
Yes... but he wore the same colored turtle neck. Why not white one day? Why not blue another day?
The point the video was making was he wanted to create an iconic look as the CEO of Apple, much like how the Sony workers' uniforms gave the company an iconic look.
@@thebasketballhistorian3291 lol sony definitely didn’t have a iconic look.
It’s iconography.. he turned seemingly mundane articles of clothing into an iconic vestige and silhouette of his persona that will endure the ages.
When you're that rich, you don't have to dress to impress anyone.
He dressed the same way to create an iconic look to match the iconic brand that was Apple.
That was the point made in the video.
Not everyone rich is out to impress people with their clothes. They just enjoy beautiful things. I have a friend with outrageously beautiful jewelry. She doesn’t wear it to impress -- she loves beautiful jewelry. (She doesn’t even wear the truly impressive pieces in public) She has acquired and inherited a fortune in jewels which she now finds to be a burden with the possibility of getting killed and robbed) More of a distinct possibility these days than when she acquired them.
The most recognisable things of steve jobs:
1. This outfit
2. This man's greatest ideas and innovations!
Steve Jobs clothes would be considered a collectors items these days
OMG, you’re killing me with that photo.😂🤣
I’ve heard that Albert Einstein had a closet full of the same outfits. The reason being that he didn’t need to expend any unnecessary thought on what to wear.
T h e y w e r e a l l b l a c k
If that is the case, you can have ten t-shirts in different colors and pick one every day without wasting your precious time because you give e damn to fashion. BUT if you buy a black t-shirt, you're following the nerdy trend.
Same reply as to Homer Sim
I've been doing this myself for about one year or so now, with an outfit I came up with myself. It has definitely been a game changer.
What's the outfit?
2:10 Honestly, this kinda looks like a strait jacket.
He doesn't be a sheep following the crowd; he creates his own uniform and inspires other people to do so.
Timeless look, can’t lie 🤷♂️ he found his style and stuck with it, simple as that
it is a character of consistency and loyalty and simplicity if you wear the same outfit for years like this. A small thing reflects a big world.
When you support someone from start and then you see him on this stage. Really feeling proud of you bro ❤❤❤
One of my friends who is a huge Steve Jobs fan, after his death in 2011 she wore his outfit for literally two months straight because she was so devastated and depressed at the time. She’s an English teacher and the funny part is A lot of her students actually followed her. Obviously every day it was right in my mind where I don’t think about it, he was truly the greatest Genius of our time.
Love your content!!
I love these videos. Their always so well thought out. Congrats on growing your channel!
Keep it simple and consistent. Stay Disciplined. Repeat and rinse.
Greg, if there’s one thing I admired about Jobs was his simplistic attitude to life. I like that at my employer even management wears the same uniforms as the regular workers. It helps with team cohesion. (:
Good video as always sir.
$200 t shirts
@@mosessupposes2571 Yes they are. (:
Was nice to refresh the memory, I read all of this back in 2012 in his biography by Walter Isaacson. Great Vid.
How's that book on steve jobs by Walter Isaacson....a really good book to invest time into it?
I worked at an Apple store in the early 2000's. We were given black turtle shirts with the Apple logo in the left sleeve, to wear as the uniform for our store.
We were asked to sign an agreement that we were not to wear the shirts outside our working hours. I still have the shirt and wear it on occasion.
3:26 pure gold xD
I did the same thing about 10 years ago at my workplace. I took a page from charlie brown and homer simpson. I settled on khakis a polo shirt (black/blue) and chuck taylors for the summer time and black jeans and a gray sweater and chukka boots in the winter time. I even took a poll around the office when I decided to go this route to see if people approved and to vote on the outfits. I don't think they expected me to last 10 years with the same outfit but I showed them.
I’m loving these BTS videos with Steve Jobs or Tim Cook. Keep them coming!
Bruh
Issey miyaki has changed the japan culture of outfit in the 80s
Einstein did the same thing to stop having to waste time trying to figure out what to wear.
Also, one can say of the Japanese, they are a "lock step" country.
Mind you, I can see the advantage of having employees wearing a standard outfit at work.
It cuts down on having to choose what to wear, it does build a team mentality (if done right) and depending upon the work, the employee does not have to buy
work clothes.
I am new to cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, but I am very interested and curious to start investing in it, although I do feel this is kind of late now. Can anyone tell me what I need to do?
Investing in Bitcoin is the number one thing one should be doing right now, although there are lots of risks the best way to invest is through cryptocurrency and Forex.
There are also organizations that help maintain your interest and protect you from the unnecessary risk which you can't predict on your own.
But sir Richard is highly recommended
💯Legit
@Kittanon Joomcom Everybody has been talking about (Richard A. Blair Fx) so I'm not surprise you mentioned him again is this his contact
Steve Jobs had that drip 💧
I've been wearing the same outfit for more than a year now!
Hey nice video man
Issey Miyake- My Favourite Perfume! This (regards to Steve Jobs Shirt) was a revelation I didn't know about but a great one at that! Thanks for letting us know about this fact ❤️👍
I admired this so much in him, very much how I admired it in George Carlin wearing all black in his later years during his last specials. It’s a symbol of mental transcendence and overall awareness I think, not wanting to waste time and energy in picking an outfit to wear everyday.
SE ELE FOSSE TÃO SIMPLES ASSIM USARIA CAMELÔ.
4:35 An ill fitting turtleneck for $495! You could buy an entire suit for that price!
Yep!
Awesome video (I'm at 2:19)... such deep insight on such an important, human topic. I'm now Subscribed (w/Bell) :D
I loved his "uniform" and keeping life simple.
That is a nice story of where and how Steve Jobs got his outfit.
Anyone who's familiar with Jobs, knows that he didn't want to expend any energy or brain cells on deciding what to wear each day.
Conserving every ounce of his mind for greatness. True genius. RIP Steve Jobs.
I thought the same as i prefer in my outfit without thinking of Steve Job incase would be bias. You know, to 'copy'. Sometimes, spending to much on fashion show that also vast contributed in climate change. Geez. Think of doing great thing in this world rather than flaunt and waste it with some jerkiness.
What rot.
Nothing wrong with that. Once you find a statement/signature outfit that gives you good social feedback, stick with it. Those good experience will remind you from all around and help boost your confidence. Because you know it works
Issey !! So cool that issey and Steve were friends. RIP STEVE JOBS ❤️🕊🕊
The folk lore is that he did not want to waste any mental energy choosing clothing. He was notoriously focused. He would sometimes greet his managers with “how many things did you say NO to today?”.
It requires energy to think about what to wear everyday if you have different types of clothes so it's better to select one uniform and move on!👍
Because of image building, now whenever you remember Jobs you will imagine him in the same attire.
When I’m on holiday I wear essentially the same style, it’s comfortable, practical and whatever I pull out for the day will do without having to think it through
AWESOME VID !!!!!!!!!!!
The clothing was about image and we already know that Jobs was totally obsessed with image. What I will forever wonder is which original ideas were truly his. The more I learn about him, the more it seems that he stood on the shoulders of truly talented engineers and visionaries and stole the best that was theirs. With that kind of thrust, and with due respect to this departed executive, even pigs can fly.
Well, considering how much good ideas he had, he was truly visionary.
But nowadays... look at Rocket Jesus (= Elon Musk).... He is literally MUCH WORSE than any CEO or boss, he invented nothing, and the few ideas he had are literally useless and/or a scam, just to get attention and thats it.
I heard a story that is saved him time in the morning because he didn't need to choose what to wear.
This makes total sense, when your trying to change the world you shouldn't waist time choosing clothing. I'm currently reading "The Paradox of Choice" by Barry Schwartz, this books talks about the problem of to manny choices robbing people of peace of mind and waisting their valuable time trying to choose wisely.
Nice , I love New Balance, great story .
Thanks for sharing with us this very interesting story.
Take care.

Steve jobs :
This reminds me of long summer nights when I would eat warm cheese in the barn with my grandpa. RIPO grandpa.
Steve Job's outfit is the most scientific thing I can understand in fashion world.
Every super-hero wears the same outfit every day
WOW A polyester cotton blend turtleneck for $500? Damn, people are stupid!
Polyester is a terrible material....
it was the original designer who was selling it, the value was more sentimental than quality or comfort.
@@manuel0689 I agree. ut I remember the price of these turtlenecks have been really high.
Especially considering you can get silk turtlenecks for only $50
Rumor has it Einstein did the same thing, explaining that deciding what to wear every day was a waste of time and mental energy.
True. He would rather spend time thinking about more important things than whether his tie matched the shirt, or his trousers matched the jacket.
simple and pure. It is easy, save times and modern. comment made before watched the program.
love how steve jobs was dripped in issey miyake everyday , the girls that get it get it , the girls that dont dont.
reat legends supporting eachtother.
Steve Jobs predicted the future correctly because he created it himself!
he never created anything, he's just the face of apple.
@@MovieGuy666 nope you are only a Apple-Hater or Steve Jobs hater, its that easy...

Maybe he’s trying to say I can’t fix the battery drain on every update.
He had a revolving coat rack, it moved clockwise & counter clockwise. He liked to play with the buttons, which was designed like the first iPod. After a brief look at his 100 black shirts, he thought, well I guess I'll pick the black one.
Reminds me of Doug Funny opening his closet and like 5 of the same outfit being in there
This made me subscribe 🍎
Jobs' signature outfit was stolen from "Jonny Quest". Clearly, he was a fan. Mystery solved.
LoL!
RIGHT!!!! Good eye!
This is what you call maturity at it's extreme level
In memory of Steve Jobs, Apple began selling the same smartphone every year.
Steve's jeans and sneakers are the models used for the emojis on iOS. If the change the shirt to/add a black turtleneck the homage will be complete
So u don’t have to change clothes for weeks, months😂
Thank you Steve
Consistency is the key.
Plot twist: He never learned to wash clothes
When you're really busy you don't have time to think about what to wear. I always wear plain white or black t-shirt everytime.
Define "really busy" Cuz we all have 24hrs in a day. However, what we chose to do with those hours will vary. Therefore its not about time, its about priority. We all have the same amount of time to do what we please
technology, computers, mobile devices, animation industry, fashion, is there something this man hasn't changed?
Its worth watching on youtube the Ed Catmull and Larry Ellison on Steve Jobs talk as its mentioned in there too.
“often most beautiful things don’t ask for attention”-simplicity the ultimate sophistication.
Zuckerberg does the same to save time :)
Zuckerberg is a robot and just doesn't care. An evil robot, but a robot none the less.
There's something missed here: how does it benefit him? Okay, it's iconic. You know it's him. But as a creative, what would benefit would it provide? There's been discussion elsewhere, but in short, it decouples any need to expend the energy to think about dressing to put it into far more (to the individual making the choice) beneficial endeavors. It's also been said that the act of "putting it on" creates a mental modal shift to begin 'the work' or to 'create'. But on a very simple level, having the same means not having to think at all about it. He made a very elegant effort to explore it and developed something he could be comfortable with and then he was done. No more effort needed to decide what to wear, giving him time to develop Apple.
I need to finish that Steve Jobs doc
Crazy prices for the turtlenecks! 200 dollars!! Madness!
I'm surprised Apple didn't patent this outfit
LMFAO
It removes the low level chore of having to choose which clothes to wear. Less decision making means more efficiency.
I agree with Steve.I am a orofessional hairstylist and basically wear the same uniformed look everyday..you feel grounded.focused.and ready to go..He truly was ahead of his time.humble.creative.caring.intelligent
I just assumed he wanted to want to make some sort of fashion statement at Silicon Valley.
agree
Pretty sure all this was in the Isaacson book.
I think you missed a few VITAL details. The reason SJ wore black in the first place was so that he could present his Apple projects (with a black background) and highlight the beautiful white object. The reason he wore those New Balance shoes was because part of his negotiation strategy was to go on walks around the Apple Campus (eg. walking around with Tim Cook or the Disney CEO, etc).
Good ideas is in mind too
Great explanation, I guess just missing that Steve we a dedicated minimalist and enjoyed the idea the simple wardrobe had to offer.
NÃO ERA TÃO SIMPLES ASSIM NÃO, SE NÃO USAVA CAMELÔ!
