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 😅
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 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…
No, i’m not’
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.
If you live somewhere with mosquitos, you can’t win.
Dark colors: better for stains, worse for avoiding mosquitos

I just have realistic expectations for myself. I know that I have the hand eye coordination of a five year old and dress to reflect that.
Wouldn’t want to embarass yourself
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.
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.
Haha what the fuck?
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.
If you don’t dry your clothes you won’t have this issue
Live every moment like you’re in a wet T-shirt contest.
I meant hang dry😭
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.
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
