how often do you change clothes?

unknownguest

was just wandering how often people generally change there clothes.

I would wear the same outfit for about 3 days in a row and then change to another outfit [by outfit i mean same jeans, hoodie, t shirt and shoes, i change my underwear every day]

is this ok or should i be expected to have a new outfit on every day?

is it a turn off to see someone in the same outfit more than once in a row?

whats the best way to go about mixing it up if one hoodie looks better with one pair of jeans and wouldn't look well with another and vissa verssa?

im not talking about washing them here, or hygene, just wearing them, if i do excersise in one outfit and its all sweaty, i will wash it right away and wouldnt wear it for another 2 days.

If I wore a t-shirt all day I wouldn't wear it the next day unless I was just intending to stay in and so stuff around the house or stay in bed... Sometimes I might be in one two days in a row if it's the weekend and I'm on a bender and I've not made it home but that would be it really!

thats rotten!!! maybe its becuase im a girl but id never wear any item of clothing twice without washing it! am i jus a clean freak???

Sleepy

Wouldn't wear the same thing two days in a row unless I hadn't been home that night and I'd feel fairly grimy even if I'd had a shower in between.

I work in an office, so I wear a fresh clean shirt everyday [socks & underwear too]! My suits normally last me a week, but I'd change it if it became dirty or smelly. The benefit of wearing a suit to work is that I change out of it the minute I get home, so it is very hard to get it dirty etc.

When not in work, the trackie/jeans would last me a few days [2 days at most], but I still change my t-shirt everyday!!

No, you're a girl.

A pair of jeans will go 3 or 4 days, if they don't otherwise get dirty (through Garden work, fixing my bike, a particularly hot day, a night on the beer, etc). Ditto for a jumper.

Like Giles, I will continue to wear the same underwear as yesterday if I don't intend on much interaction with other beings. Like a Sunday after a long Saturday night for example.

If in doubt, throw it at the wall. If it falls to the floor, it's clean

Change jocks, socks and Tshirt every day

Jeans / pants get 2-3 days use.

Tops / shirts 2 days use.

At the weekend everything changes every day and most alot of the time every night aswell. Ill wear comfy stuff to hang around in then get dressed to go out / pub etc

Goodshape

If it doesn't smell, or I'm just to lazy to bother, I'll go on wearing the same.

TBH, I don't think I have enough clothes to be changing everyday.

There was a guy in Irish College with me a few years ago who wore the same t-shirt 5 day in a row... It was so gross!! And it wasn't even a nice t-shirt!!
You should change socks, underwear and t-shirts every day or it's just disgusting. Jumpers and hoodies can last 2 days. Trousers, well, I guess that doesn't matter so much. I could happily wear a pair of jeans 4 days in a row

I'm a complete ****ing slob when it comes to changing I'd wear the same underwear and tshirt for a couple of days depending on whether i was leaving my house or not and tbh i only own about 5 tshirts so i don't have that much changing room!

stagolee

if it looks or smells dirty i change it, otherwise why bother?

Socks and jocks would be everyday.

Monday to Friday i'd were a fresh shirt each day, but i'd keep the same trousers for the week for work.

On the weekend i'd probably were a different t-shirt each day, but keep the jeans and/or combats going for 3-4 days i.e. i might were the same pair of jeans over the space of two weekends on and off. The same would go for a fleece.

As above if i was doing anything more physical than running up the stairs i'd probably throw a tracksuit on and get one go out of it. I'm lucky as well in the fact that i'd rarely break a sweat while doing anything. Other people i know go about the whole day sweating which isn't good.

I think that the people who have to change every piece of clothing every day would be more likely to be living at home, and may have a little help on the parental side. Its a little bit different imho if you do all your own washing etc. Truth be known, its the ironing that wrecks my head more than the washing. So if i go to the bother of ironing something, i'm gonna get some use out of it.

Before the smoking ban you might throw on fresh gear going down the pub and after 3 or 4 hours it would be straight to the laundry basket when you got home. But now i might hang it back up and get another go out of it.

Spot on, that's the rationale I work on anyway.

Well, with the exception of t-shirts and boxers - I change them pretty much every day or so.

Tops - jumpers, shirts, jackets, hoodies - can go on for a while before they get dirty/stinky so's I have to change em. Ditto for jeans or chords or trousers etc.

I'm disgustin but, meh. :cool:

I would change my out-fit everyday, sometimes twice in a day, but that would be for a practical reason like the gym, or if I was going out. I would maximum wear something for 2 days in a row. I change anything that was in direct contact with my skin after one day (e.g. T-Shirt, Underwear, Socks, etc..) I would consider myself, quite artistic and fashion consious, and due to that, I like to change my clothes often as it's a good way to express how you're feeling (And I dont mean, I'm feeling cold, so I wear a jumper :P) Also, it's sometimes a nice change. Thats just the way I do it though.

Slunk

If i was just staying around the house id wear the same thing maybe 3 days but if I was going out / to college or something id change everyday.

kenmc

Socks/jocks/tshirt get changed daily, unless on a saturday I might wear fridays tshirt until I am getting ready to go out, or until ihave a shower
Trousers can go for a couple of days, accidentally hit a week here and there. Jumper whatever is handy when I need one.
cycling into work I'll wear yesterdays teeshirt and socks and shower in work and change into fresh ones. cycling shorts take care of the middle bit

Socks undies tshirt... fresh set every morning.
Trousers & tops... as needed.
I should probably wash my trousers/tops more often and use clean ones every day since they probably stink of smoke... but then being a smoker, I don't smell it and hence don't care, and since they'll be stinking of smoke after a few hours anyway.

Lump

Pfff, I wear trousers for about 3 days... underware and socks changed daily and shirts about every second day. I definetly don't have enough clothes to change daily.

John

goin'_to_the_PS

underwear and socks daily, the rest i wear till the get smelly/dirty (max 3 days)

whats wrong with wearing clothes till they get dirty or smelly and then changing them

DonkeyStyle \o/

Has anyone ever seen someone wearing the same socks all week, and then wearing socks and sandals on the 7th day?
Surely it'd be an hilarious prank.

How would you know they're the same socks though? Nearly all of my pairs of socks are the exact same.

I'm guessing you'd know by the smell
Or ask...

NotMe

I wear a different t-shirt every day but I'd wear the same jeans up to a week.

I prefer having clean clothes, 2 - 3 days could be gotten out of a hoody or i spose.
