So interesting to see the different views.
Fascinating that some people think re-wearing anything is a sign of dirtiness or somehow indicates poverty or lack of self respect or concern for those around you. This will also be the brigade who wash towels after each use and change their bed multiple times a week. It seems they have zero interest in the environment and their cleanliness ‘radar’ is set to some crazy level. I seriously wonder what causes this attitude.
No-one wants to stink or be about in filthy clothes. However, some people, seem to think any rewearing means you will stink.
Ive always done some rewearing and have made a conscious effort to do more for environmental and cost (laundry energy) reasons.
Jeans - increased from wearing 3 times to 5 or 6 unless a reason not to.
Inner layer top - often wear twice now. Always check first that it’s okay.
Outer layer like jumper - increased from 3 to 6 times unless a reason not to
Skirts - increased from twice to 3 times unless reason why not.
Dresses - depending on fabric, wear twice.
Socks wear once, often have 2 pairs of knickers per day. In summer, tops worn once. if I’ve spilled something diwn clothes, don’t wear again, or if something like sweaty day or period, probably wear items less.
A sniff test is imminently sensible. people should trust their noses more!
