Keanu Reeves Has Worn Same Look For 30 Years — He Modestly Donates Millions While Matthew Perry Attacked Him in Memoir
|- Keanu has been wearing the same outfit for 30 years.
- Instead of buying clothes, he saves sick children and animals.
- Keanu Reeves dropped to his knees and bowed to the crowd after standing ovation from thousands of fans.
- However, “Friends” star Matthew Perry wondered why he is still alive.
Keanu Reeves is a box-office darling with an impressive catalog of movies to his credit. He is well-liked by colleagues and crew because he is a joy to work with. He is also known to be a down-to-earth person who relates easily with people from all walks of life.
However, the “Speed” star has recently gained a new fandom for his fashion sense. When it comes to dressing, Reeves has sustained the same laid-back vibe for three decades. You could almost say he has perfected effortless style.
His chosen outfit comprises a jacket and pants with a plain shirt or tee underneath, anchored by some well-worn hiking boots. One would think that a multi-millionaire would want to display his wealth and status, but Reeves has said:
“Money doesn’t mean anything to me. I’ve made a lot of money but I want to enjoy life and not stress myself building my bank account.”
The leading man is no slave to flashy logos or trends. He tends to keep the palette neutral and the silhouette fitted but not figure-hugging. His style appeals to people of all ages and makes him seem confident yet approachable.

In recent years, Reeves has traded the clean-cut look for a beard and shoulder-length hair. He also likes to accessorize, adding a tie to his ensemble for formal occasions or a scarf and hat in the cold season.
There is something to be said for commitment, even to a pair of brown boots or a graphic T-shirt.
A classic assumption about the star is that he never throws his clothes away. One fan of “The Matrix” was lucky enough to meet the film’s star twice with a three-year gap. Coincidentally, Reeves was wearing the same T-shirt at both sightings, to the delight of netizens.

Wearing the Same Outfit for 30 Years
The internet is here for the Reeves uniform if the extensive posts and fan accounts on social media are anything to go by. One thread on Twitter which originated from the “Keanu Doing Things” account went as far as to post a gallery of the “John Wick” actor spanning 30 years. One commenter replied:
“From the ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ school of fashion.”
Another user posted an impressionistic painting of a man who strongly resembled the actor, insinuating that Reeves had been wearing the same outfit since 1875.
