      The HBO show Deadwood frequently depicted the 1870s old West characters stripping to their underwear, tossing their clothes on a chair, t then waking up the next day and putting them back on.

      The whole time I’m thinking man, our society has this all wrong

        Do… do you not do this? I’m not talking underwear and socks, but my jeans or pullovers aren’t dirty after wearing them once. I throw them over a chair and wear them the next day or day after.

          I don’t re-wear shirts because they take a beating. But yes, pants go on the pants hook for reuse.

            I totally rewear over wear! But I have to space it out lest I feel judged. But I mean they were same exact outfit every single day. Seemed nice

              Lest I feel judged

              One time back when we were still in the office, just as a silly thing to do, I wore the same outfit for a whole week (I washed it daily). I wanted to see if anyone noticed. They did not. (or if they did, they didn’t say anything). I’m a dude which probably plays a part. Nobody gives a fuck what we wear, and all our professional attire looks more or less the same. I don’t think a woman could pull it off. Women are way too judgey of other women.

          Shorts and trousers sometimes, jumpers and hoodies I rewear a fair few times. Underwear, socks and t-shirts never.

      At one point I realized that I almost never wear over half of my clothes so I got rid of them. Now I have like 20 similar colored t-shirts, 3 similar colored pants, 40 pairs of underwear, a pile of black socks etc. After doing laundry I put the clean clothes at the bottom of the pile and when I need a fresh shirt I take the one that’s on top. Same applies for all my other clothes aswell. I basically wear the same outfit every single day.

        My wife thought I was crazy for doing this exact thing! I think she’s crazy for making clothing decisions every morning. Who needs that much extra work?

      I actually had a terrible roommate like this once.

      He had one work outfit, and he washed/dried it every day. One button up shirt, one pair of khakis, and one pair of dress socks. No underwear, because he didn’t wear any. Dude was just too lazy to buy more outfits I guess.

        The cost of electricity & water & laundry detergent would quickly exceed the cost of buying multiple work clothes.

        That’s not even laziness, that genuinely takes more effort and costs more than just buying more clothes
