An Australian TV presenter has said he wore the same blue suit on-screen for 12 months and nobody noticed.<\/p>\n

Karl Stefanovic wore the outfit to make a point about the sexism he said his female colleagues faced.<\/p>\n

“No-one has noticed,” he said. “But women, they wear the wrong colour and they get pulled up. They say the wrong thing and there’s thousands of tweets written about them.”<\/p>\n

Stefanovic is a presenter on Today, the breakfast show on Channel Nine.<\/p>\n

The 40-year-old, who has been a presenter and reporter for nearly two decades, has also participated in a variety of celebrity gameshows in Australia, including their versions of Dancing on Ice and Hole in the Wall.<\/p>\n

He also wore the suit throughout October during his shifts on the Today programme<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

He told The Age newspaper<\/a> that his co-host, Lisa Wilkinson gets regular messages from viewers and comments in the press about her fashion choices.<\/p>\n

“Women are judged much more harshly and keenly for what they do, what they say and what they wear,” said Stefanovic.<\/p>\n

“I’ve worn the same suit on air for a year – except for a couple of times because of circumstance – to make a point.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Stefanovic wore the suit to ‘knight’ Today’s entertainment editor Richard Wilkins back in June<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

He started his experiment by wearing the suit two days in a row, without a comment. He then carried on for days and then months when he realised no-one was noticing.<\/p>\n

“Only Lisa and [Today team member Sylvia Jeffreys] know about the suit. They often remark that it’s getting a bit stinky,” said Stefanovic.<\/p>\n

“I’m hoping to get it into the dry cleaners at the end of the year.”<\/p>\n
