PHOTOS TV news anchor wears the same suit everyday for an entire year and no one noticed
Australian news anchor Karl Stefanovic isn’t just reporting the news, he’s making it. Stefanovic recently revealed he’s been wearing the exact same suit every single day for a year and no one commented or even seemed to notice!
Karl, who co-hosts the Australian version of the Today show, went on a clothing strike in order to prove a point about sexism towards women. Stefanovic claims there is a strong prejudice against women based on their clothing choices that doesn’t exist for men.
In order to prove his hypothesis, the 40-year-old veteran news anchor wore the same navy suit every day only changing his tie. He had this to say of his clothing experiment:
Women are judged much more harshly and keenly for what they do, what they say and what they wear. I’m judged on my interviews, my appalling sense of humour – on how I do my job, basically. Whereas women are quite often judged on what they’re wearing or how their hair is … that’s [what I wanted to test].
Back in 2012, Forbes did an article featuring famous people who wear the same outfit everyday including notable names such as Steve Jobs and Albert Einstein. Interestingly, only 3 of the 18 people in the story are women.
