on a chair in my room

Any cardigans or hoodies that can be worn again go on the back of the chair at my dressing table. Pants, vests, socks or anything else that can't be worn again (sweaty, smelly and otherwise dirty) goes in the hamper. Jeans that can be reworn get hung on hooks on the back of the door (I only have two pairs anyway) and anything else that can be reworn hangs from the label or a strap from some s-shaped hooks hanging from one of the rails in my walk-in closet.

Bras are a bit of a funny thing. I have many and sometimes only wear them for part of a day and as long as I haven't got really sweaty or worn them for several days in a row, I will hang them to air and re-wear them. I appreciate that not everyone feels the same about that 😳

Underwear and items that need washing in the laundry basket. Anything I'm going to wear the next day on the chair. Things that are clean enough to wear again but won't be worn the next day go on a hanger on the left side of the wardrobe. It wasn't always like that, but now I have managed to rationalise my clothes and have enough storage space, with proper places for everything, it is so much easier!

My uniform gets chucked in a heap on the floor of my dressing room, ready to be reworn. I work in construction and surveying so I come home looking a mess, might as well go in like one too 😆

Fiddledeedeeee · 25/04/2023 19:32

On the ‘nearly dirty chair’ (where they stay until I want to wear them again, but realise they’re too creased/ should have been washed after all) or the laundry bin.

Allmarbleslost · 25/04/2023 19:32

I have an extensive floorsrobe.

MidgeHardcastle · 25/04/2023 19:43

I had this dilemma a few weeks ago. My worn but not dirty pile had always been the end of the bed and was turning into a mountain. I got rid of a load of clothes and turned a drawer into a half-worn drawer. Success! I love it.

Clothes for washing into the laundry basket.

Wear again clothes such as trousers/knitwear sprayed with freshener and hung up to air in walk-in wardrobe so I don't have to look at the pesky things.

Usually in the big basket I have for 'to be reworn' clothes.
Sometimes on the floor. Sometimes I rehang.

NeverDropYourMooncup · 25/04/2023 20:04

If the appropriate linen bin is upstairs, in that.

If DP hasn't brought it back again after doing the last load, everything goes on the floor until it does, as I'm not risking white and lights in the colours bin with his propensity for picking everything up and ramming it into the machine without checking.

And if it's knitwear, it goes down the side of the bed until Saturday when I wash my own woolly stuff, as I certainly don't trust him with those after a decade of bitter experience.

GudiBrallan · 25/04/2023 20:06

Floor.

mathanxiety · 25/04/2023 20:11

Laundry basket in the bathroom or draped on 'the chair'.

AnotherRoadsideAttraction · 23/04/2023 01:01

They go into The Pile. Might be worn again, maybe not. Will get mixed in with everything that I pull out of my closet the next time I get dressed. It’s a pit.

Yup same here. Nee a better system!

VintageThoughts · 25/04/2023 20:49

Depends if I'm wearing again. If not, in the wash basket, if I am, I'll hang on a hanger overnight then put away or wear.

Except jeans. They get draped over my mirror. Frighten me to death in the night Grin

EVHead · 25/04/2023 20:52

On the floor. I often think that if I died in my sleep, some poor sap would have to deal with the big knot of trousers-pants-socks because I’m too tired to take them off individually. 🤔

Mum2jenny · 25/04/2023 20:53

Floor or wash basket depending on if I’ll rewear them

SwishMyCape · 25/04/2023 21:08

Knitwear I air on a hanger for a day and then fold back into the drawer.

Tops, jeans, work trousers on the wear-again chair and I'll try to re-wear to the point of washing within the week.

There's always an in-progress lounge outfit, also stored on the wear-again chair.

Lightly worn outdoor/sports clothes at the top of the drawer for next time (which will be soon enough)

Nousernamesleftatall · 25/04/2023 21:12

Floor in the direction of the laundry basket if they need a wash.

Floor behind the door of the en-suite if not.

washing machine

Everything? Every day? You wear jeans, jumpers, jackets only once?

UnwisleyNemesia · 25/04/2023 21:19

DH has irritated me a bit this evening so I’ve dumped all my todays worn clothes down his side of the bed-hahahaha! Knickers and socks gone in washing basket, but he can trip over the rest!

ILikeTrueCrime · 25/04/2023 21:28

Everything into the washing basket. Terrified if I leave it on the floor a spider might be sat waiting in there for me in the morning!

GoShorty · 25/04/2023 21:30

You have no idea how much better I feel reading all these replies! I also have a floordrobe/pile on top of the laundry bin and thought I was the only one to be so disorganised 🤣. Sounds as if there’s no magic answer (unless you are a super-tidy person and put it all away straight away)!

FunkyMonks · 25/04/2023 21:30

Over bannister if it can be worn few more times like jeans or tops that haven't been worn for long.

Stuff that's in need of a wash always goes in laundry bag don't like having piles of clothes on the floor.

Knickerthief1 · 25/04/2023 21:31

On top of the washing basket. Drives the family mad when it gets too heavy!!

YellowAndGreenToBeSeen · 25/04/2023 21:34

I’m amazed at the number of people who have a ‘floordrobe’. Would give me huge anxiety to be surrounded by it.

CampervanKween · 25/04/2023 21:36

I have a lot of changes throughout the day. Nightdress in bed. Get up, get dressed. After work put on exercise gear. Work clothes hung up. Then after exercise put on loungewear. Bedtime back in nightdress. Loungwear folded and back in drawer.
