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 😅
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
I own nothing white for that reason.
I can respect that
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.

No, i’m not’
Yep. I basically wear rags around the house for this reason.
Haha what the fuck?
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
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’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.
I don’t like wearing light colors anyways, especially white. I will wear other colors, yes, but nothing too bright.
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.
