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 😅

    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.

    I don’t like wearing light colors anyways, especially white. I will wear other colors, yes, but nothing too bright.

    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.

    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.

    If you live somewhere with mosquitos, you can’t win.

    Dark colors: better for stains, worse for avoiding mosquitos

    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.

        “bright colors”

        White doesn’t work for obvious reasons but other colors found in nature can make you blend in.

    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.
