I only do this as a last resort.

I would have done this as a kid but I had a mother who wouldn't let me wear the same outfit two days in a row, nor two days later, or that same week. I only did this to my favorite clothes. If I was lucky that my mother was gone for some reason and it was my Dad having to get me up for school, he would let me wear the same clothes instead of sending me back upstairs to change into something else because I had already worn the outfit the day before. He was always easygoing.

Today I will sometimes wear the same clothes two days in a row because I am too lazy to pick put what to wear so to make it quick, I put on what I had on the day before.

I wear fresh underwear and socks every day. I shower nearly every day (skip one every now and then) and I use a clean towel every time.
I wear the same pants for like 5 days in a row. Shirts I wear 2-3 days, but I usually scatter them around the week so I don't wear the same shirt several days in a row.

I don't know why I dislike using a towel from yesterday, but am perfectly fine wearing the same pair of pants all week.

Sometimes I do because I don't have enough clothes for every day of the week.

I really hate to put on 'dirty' clothes.

I wear fresh socks / underwear every time I put them on. This means that if I go to the gym, I may 'use' 3 sets !

The only exception is that I wear 'work' pants twice before they hit the laundry basket.

I get through shirts like crazy - 6-8 each week and I have taken to getting them laundered professionally - along with my pants (usually dry cleaned). The means that I have 30+ shirts and 10+ pairs of pants in my wardrobe and more pairs of socks and underwear than anyone would/could imagine - I have never counted them, but they struggle to fit in a large deep drawer.

I am the same with jeans - I only wear them maybe twice, teeshirts rarely last a whole day at the weekends too.

I wear clothing a whole lot in a row. I think it a comfort thing. I've done that since I was a kid and got teased for it. Eventually I took to telling people I had a lot of the same thing because it was cheap to buy in bulk

I'd like too but it's not a good idea.
I wear the same suit and shoes per week but I change everything else.
I rarerly wear the same t-shirt (or anything that's directly in contact with skin) two days in a row.

I don't see the point in wearing them for one day - they'll get worn out from all the washing otherwise!

I wear clothes for a couple of days, then wear others for a few days and then god back to the other clothes. To everyone else it looks like I'm changing my clothes frequently, but... :oops: :lol: 8)

I change my underwear every day though.

Why does everyone seem to change their underwear once a day? I sometimes wear the same ones for 4-5 days and I haven't noticed any negative effects. Socks I can understand changing every few days though.
