AIBU - clothes are either clean or dirty

[legofootcasualty]

DP is currently decorating a chair with multiple items of clothing.

He says they're airing out and are neither fit to hang up or be washed again.

IMO clothes are either clean enough to hang up and wear or need to be washed. Where is the grey area??

He says I'm being ridiculous and it's totally normal.

AIBU?

We have a couple of these as I don’t like valet stands.

Bedroom chairs are for sitting on!

My girls have a basket specifically for part worn clothes. Makes sense to me. Our part worn clothes get hung into the boiler cupboard. Works well for us :)

Thanks all. Off to google valet stations/hanging rails :)

We all have a specific drawer each for clothes that can be worn again. No chairs allowed in the bedrooms for that reason of chairdrobe.

Doesn't everyone has a clothes chair?

I was about to say precisely this.

I do this (female) - they get left on my dressing table chair.
Everyone has a pile.

We had the exact same conversation tonight, my husband suggested I smell his chinos to help decide if they could go back in the wardrobe.

I don’t put worn things back in the wardrobe. Sorry, I’m on team ‘air it on the chair’

@legofootcasualty

OK so this might be a thing...

But then there should be a proper place for the in-between clothes to go, not just creating a permanent mess!

A separate hanging rail or something

I have a proper place for the in-between clothes, I put them in an artful pile in the corner of the room.

I usually wear trousers or shorts for 2 days, so when I’m at work they live on a chair.

We have those overdoor hangers on the front of our double wardrobe doors and that's where the stuff we can wear again but doesn't qualify as laundry fresh to be put in the wardrobe with clean stuff goes.

In my younger years I've always had the chair of semi-worn clothes.

YABU - obviously there is a middle ground!

I am not going to wash the pair of trackie bums which I wear for 4 hours to sit on the sofa post work and pre bed. Thats ridiculous.

Think of the planet!

I have a set of coat pegs on the bedroom wall, for hanging up lightly worn clothes before their next wearing.

And if it helps we have a wooden ladder each - its very naice

Not this exact one but similar

@GemmaRuby

I installed two sets of hooks in the corner of the bedroom (one set for me, one for DH) for this very purpose. Also houses my dressing gown. Where do people keep dressing gowns if not clothes hooks/chairs?

Dressing gowns live on the back of the bathroom door in our house.

I'm the same, I have a chair, I have cardis I may wear again or at home clothes. Things wouldn't be put back in wardrobe

I sometimes hang things on wardrobe door to wear again

@tortoiselover100

I throw all clothes in the laundry basket, I never rehang. Then every couple of days I'll go through them all and anything looking clean gets re ironed and hung, the rest goes in the wash. That way it all feels fresh

I don't get this. Surely something can look clean but can stink from marinating in the laundry basket with dirty, sweated in clothes?

I air the clothes on the chair overnight then I put them back in the wardrobe in the morning.

We used to have only one bedroom chair which I would sit on to do my makeup. DH put so many clothes on the back of it that it would fall over when I stood up. He now has his own chair.

It’s a tricky one!

Jeans, jumpers, etc I put back because otherwise I would have a whole stack of half-clean clothes and I don’t want to wear the same jumper 5 days in a row if I am going out.

But I don’t mind wearing the same clothes on days I am just at home (obviously not underwear etc) so I do have a separate basket for those. Have trained teen dd to do the same as she gets changed out of her uniform when she gets home and would otherwise get clean clothes out of her cupboard just to wear for a few hours and then dump them to be washed…

I do this. I will hang stuff up on the back of my door rather than my wardrobe.

I tend to wear an outfit (not undies or sock, them I change every day) for 2 days in a row. I wouldn't put them back in the drawer after 1 day, as I might get confused about which items are 'clean-clean' and which are half clean. That only really applies to one outfit at a time though.

I just chuck them wherever but if I'm trying to be sophisticated I might put the outfit on a surface in the bedroom.

other than their usual home, the floor.
