I just bought a cool new sweater but once again I’m afraid to wear it because it’s an off-white colour that will stain very easily 😅
Only mildly. Some which I especially like I’ll save for special occasions, but I’m not scared of just wearing a stained shirt to work/the store because clothes are made to be worn and life happens while you’re wearing them and other people know that.
I use light colored clothing to remind myself to not eat. No eating, no stains.
I own nothing white for that reason.
If you don’t dry your clothes you won’t have this issue
My dryer broke like 6 years ago, and I just never cared enough to fix it. You can definitely still get permanent stains on line-dried clothes, but I’ll grant that it’s much harder without all the heat. I have one white cotton T-shirt that I’ve been going Ahab on for fucking months. It wasn’t even expensive, I just want to see if I can get the trifecta of mustard/ketchup/fucked up molybdenum disulfide grease stains out.
Live every moment like you’re in a wet T-shirt contest.
I meant hang dry😭
Someone doesn’t have young kids. I’m resigned to the fact that clothes of any colour will get stained or ripped or damaged in some way.
The (apparent but elusive) hole in my bottom lip and Spaghetti Bolognese are the primary cause for my disquiet.
Context: am old fart from the time of white work shirts and still like white or pale colours today. Wtf are dark suits and dark shirts about? That’s clubbing clobber.
I just have realistic expectations for myself. I know that I have the hand eye coordination of a five year old and dress to reflect that.
Yep. I basically wear rags around the house for this reason.
If you live somewhere with mosquitos, you can’t win.
Dark colors: better for stains, worse for avoiding mosquitos
Light colors: worse for stains, better for avoiding mosquitos
No, i’m not’
Surely snowboarding in white clothing isn’t ideal for being rescued
Clothes are meant to be used. One day, my whites will get stained, and that’s ok. I will buy new ones in the future. So mote it be.
Clothes are meant to be used
Only if you’re not the one doing the frigging washing and ironing.
As if everyone is actually ironing their clothes…
This is a big reason why all my clothes are either black, very dark blue, very dark gray, or very dark green. The only things I own that are white are my socks, and I only wear them about half the time anyway.
