Is anyone else constantly paranoid wearing light coloured clothing because they're afraid of getting stains?
Is anyone else constantly paranoid wearing light coloured clothing because they're afraid of getting stains?
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 π

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 thatβs ok. I will buy new ones in the future. So mote it be.

Only if you're not the one doing the frigging washing and ironing.

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

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

If you donβt dry your clothes you wonβt have this issue

Live every moment like youβre in a wet T-shirt contest.

I meant hang dryπ

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.

Wouldn't want to embarass yourself

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.
-
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.
-
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.
