I have noticed different patterns in different people.

I am wondering how many times you will wear your clothes before you wash them.

I personally will wear the same pair of jeans a few days in a row as long as I didn't do anything to get them dirty. I work at a desk with minimal sweat. So they don't get dirty day to day.

Shirts on the other hand I usually wear once then wash them. Maybe because it's more obvious when you wear the same shirt then it is pants.

Everyday. But I work in a tire shop and a hardware yard as well as play basketball and I sweat like a horse so I may not be the typical person.

yea pretty much like you, PMQ. Jeans/khakis will get 2 to 3 uses, unless they get pwnd and shirts, boxers, and socks get one use.

Same. Jeans: 2 or 3 wears, but shirts are one time, as is everything else.

Jackets.... I don't even know. When they get dirty or start to smell funny, I guess...

jeans/hoodies will get many uses before they get washed unless something gets spilled on them or febreeze no longer works on them. cargo shorts get several uses. shirts, underwear, socks, and gym clothes get used once

Usually not until the smell starts overpowering the cologne.

Lol. Usually twice. Three is a REAL stretch. I hate doing laundry.

There was some quote out there, don't remember where I heard it. Something about shirts get dirty, but pants never do. I wear shirts and everything else but pants once before washing them. Pants I'll wear 2 or 3 days unless I get them really dirty crawling under a car or something. The fact that I work at night, at a desk, and am one of only two people in the whole building while at work means there's really no need to wash my pants every day. Even if they WERE dirty no one would care (except me). Hell, the girls I work with wear pajamas to work sometimes.

DAMN YOU FAILED SERVER!

I wear undershirts, so my shirt will get worn twice unless it's visibly dirty. Pants will be worn usually 3 times. I change my boxers and understhirts daily. Sometimes twice in one day.

Wash T shirts everyday, unless I'm wearing undershirts. I usually cycle between several sweaters/hoodies and jeans before I wash them.

i always change my socks and shoes as soon as i get home from work. feet are gross as it is, no need to have smelly feet on top of their already nastiness.

First off Pants never get dirty just more styled. They get washed when I can't find anymore I want to wear or they fill the bottom of the closet.

Shirts get changed when I want a new color or pattern and once again they get washed when I can't find anymore I want to wear or they fill the bottom of the closet.

Socks and underwear get worn and changed from day to day and they get washed when I can't find anymore I want to wear or they fill the bottom of the closet.

Jackets get washed when they started to get a smell that is unfresh.

i wear undershirts soooo......they get one use before wash. Anything i wear on top of that gets 2 or so times, minding im not doing anything sweaty. Im not really sweaty or stinky so it works out. Khaki work pants get washed once a week, and my jeans about the same. Underwear and socks are one time only as a rule.

Depends on what i wear really. I do not wash any of my slacks and nice pants, same for my button ups, I only steam and press. But when it comes to t-shirts and sweaters i wash them after each use. Jeans i wear about 2 to 3 times before a wash. For work, i own 3 shirts and two khaki pants and i only wash everything once a week. However during summer, because i am so hairy and sweat for no apparent reason i have to wash clothes quite often.
