We all wash our clothes to keep ourselves and our clothes smelling so fresh and oh-so-clean, but there is such a thing as too much washing and too little. There are downsides to both extremes: laundering your clothes more than you need to can shorten their lifespan and wear them out quickly, but washing too rarely can be unhygienic and cause a lot of icky bacteria growth. Heres a general guide to follow:Bras: After three to four wears.Underwear: After every wear.Socks and stockings: One to two wears.Sportswear and swimwear: After every wear.Jeans: Five to six wears. Although there are some that advocate washing as little as possible. In fact, the director of brand concepts and special projects for Levi Strauss & Co. washes his once every six months.Tops: One to two wears.Dresses: One to two wears.Leggings: One to two wears.Pants, skirts, and shorts: Three to four wears.Jackets and blazers: Five to six wears.Coats: Once every two months of wear.PJs: Three to four wears.Of course, this guide doesnt apply to the days when excessive sweating or accidental spills happen, and to those who have different hygiene preferences.
It's my life, you're just along for the ride!
