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 😅

    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.

    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.

    It’s not paranoia, I put on a white shirt two hours ago and it’s already stained.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Kinda, but I’m more or less resigned to the inevitability of it and I’m actually proud of myself, like a little kid, when I go out to eat and DON’T somehow end up wearing part of my dinner

    Only mildly. Some which I especially like I’ll save for special occasions, but I’m not scared of just wearing a stained shirt to work/the store because clothes are made to be worn and life happens while you’re wearing them and other people know that.

    No. I’ve noticed that I shouldn’t cook or eat red food with a white top but I bought an apron for that reason. Outside of cooking and eating, I’ve not had any problems with stains.

    Also stains are not a huge deal. I only get rid of clothes if they are completely falling apart and not fixable with a sewing machine.
