For me its after every wear (apart from jeans and joggers which is around 2-3 wears)

However this means i have a never ending flow of laundry

How many wears from freshly laundered would you go.

I am very serious it’s something I’ve always done, fresh clothes daily for all of us including pjs.

Knickers and gym kit after every wear. Everything else when it needs it. If you wash daily and use effective antiperspirant/ deodorant your clothes should not smell dirty after one wear, except perhaps in a heatwave.

I wash after each wear I do one or two wash loads a day, I have two male teenagers and there is no way they could wear the same clothes the next day but I have always washed after each wear even when they were little our clothes do last fairly well I still have jeans and jumpers that are over 8 years old possibly older.

Most things after one wear. My rule is if most of the garment it is against your skin it gets washed. So cardigans, skirts and jumpers (if worn over something) can be worn again.

Knickers and socks every wear. Everything else only if dirty/smelly.

As others have said it depends a lot of the wearer. Dh needs a lot of underarm deo and his tshirts easily get smelly. I rarely need underarm deo and my clothes rarely smell so only get washed if I spill etc.

Not only is that unnecessary, it will wear your clothes out more quickly and is terrible for the environment in so many ways!
