Love Island: Why Do the Islanders Put on The Identical Garments?

As traditional, the Love Island villa has been bursting on the seams with drama this 12 months. There was the longstanding feud between Jess and Harriet who had been caught in a bitter battle for the affections of Ronnie and his inexplicable hairline. Then, after all, there was Joey’s beef with — nicely — just about everybody who wasn’t Sean.

However the journeys of the outfits advised a really completely different story. In reality, this season, there have been a couple of ‘suits that appeared to make their manner round virtually everybody within the villa as the ladies swapped their garments as in the event that they weren’t feuding actuality stars however teenage sisters sharing a closet.

There have been a couple of outfits which have appeared on our screens time and again. The cobalt blue scoop neck maxi costume from Zara, for example has been giving us deja vu, having been worn by Matilda, Jess and Uma. (And, by the way in which, it is at the moment on sale for £5.99.) Then there was the very beachy plunge maxi costume by Jaded London, which has been worn by Uma, Grace, Matilda and Harriett.

The query is, why all of the outfit sharing? Is not eBay sponsoring the present and showering the islanders in pre-loved treasures? Properly, sure — not less than to an extent. Apparently, there weren’t that many garments to go round. And though the islanders did convey a few of their very own garments into the villa, they weren’t at all times allowed to put on them.

All of us simply re-wore the identical outfits,” islander Jess White advised OK!.

In reality, generally, they could should reuse a fellow islander’s outfit in an effort to preserve to the night’s costume code. “The night time of the Casa recoupling, Maya was carrying purple.
