I just bought a cool new sweater but once again I’m afraid to wear it because it’s an off-white colour that will stain very easily 😅
I own nothing white for that reason.
I can respect that
Clothes are meant to be used. One day, my whites will get stained, and that’s ok. I will buy new ones in the future. So mote it be.
Clothes are meant to be used
Only if you’re not the one doing the frigging washing and ironing.
As if everyone is actually ironing their clothes…
If you live somewhere with mosquitos, you can’t win.
Dark colors: better for stains, worse for avoiding mosquitos
Light colors: worse for stains, better for avoiding mosquitos
It’s not paranoia, I put on a white shirt two hours ago and it’s already stained.
Yes. I don’t really buy white clothing for that reason. I also don’t like black clothing because of lint showing up so easily. Plus it gets really hot where I live. Wearing black out in the sun is just extra miserable.
Haha what the fuck?
If you don’t dry your clothes you won’t have this issue
Live every moment like you’re in a wet T-shirt contest.
I meant hang dry😭
My dryer broke like 6 years ago, and I just never cared enough to fix it. You can definitely still get permanent stains on line-dried clothes, but I’ll grant that it’s much harder without all the heat. I have one white cotton T-shirt that I’ve been going Ahab on for fucking months. It wasn’t even expensive, I just want to see if I can get the trifecta of mustard/ketchup/fucked up molybdenum disulfide grease stains out.
Someone doesn’t have young kids. I’m resigned to the fact that clothes of any colour will get stained or ripped or damaged in some way.
I’ve dressed in nothing but dark colors since the 1980’s and worn black underwear since they became readily available to me (early 90’s?).
I snowboard in very bright colors though. Being rescued takes priority over looking clean.
Surely snowboarding in white clothing isn’t ideal for being rescued
“bright colors”
White doesn’t work for obvious reasons but other colors found in nature can make you blend in.
Wouldn’t want to embarass yourself
It isn’t paranoia. I know how many items I have had to discard because of small stains. Light colors are a waste of money.
The (apparent but elusive) hole in my bottom lip and Spaghetti Bolognese are the primary cause for my disquiet.
Context: am old fart from the time of white work shirts and still like white or pale colours today. Wtf are dark suits and dark shirts about? That’s clubbing clobber.
I don’t like wearing light colors anyways, especially white. I will wear other colors, yes, but nothing too bright.
Yep. I basically wear rags around the house for this reason.
This is a big reason why all my clothes are either black, very dark blue, very dark gray, or very dark green. The only things I own that are white are my socks, and I only wear them about half the time anyway.
