I have a chair in my bedroom that I thought was going to be a reading nook, but I've never sat in it. I considered removing it b/c it becomes a catch all for my clirty clothes. But then I wasn't sure where I would put said clothes, so it's still there.

I have a walk-in closet and I had just enough room to install a bar in the corner running diagonally from one end to the other. I hang up all the outfits I want to wear during the week there and I also put up stuff I plan on wearing again.
I work in a messy environment so I rarely can wear my work clothes more than once without washing them, but I can stretch out my after work clothes for multiple wearings.

I've also complained about this before, but my husband folds his dirty laundry before he puts it in the basket. Yea, yea I should be grateful his dirty clothes land in the hamper, but I have to unfold all of his clothes and unroll his socks before I wash them or else they don't really get clean. Drives me nuts!

I hang them back in the closet with the hanger facing the other way. This way when I pull it out I know I've worn it before

I don't understand how people can rewear clothes.
My clothes all get washed after one wearing.

I usually have a pair of comfortable pants that I will wear at the end of the day and wear them more than once. Get folded/dropped on the floor of my closet. One day, there may be more hooks in that closet.....

I don't understand how people can repeat clothes. My clothes all get washed after one wearing. Some times I wear a certain shirt for only one or two hours. When I get back home, I change into a different top. If it is not a hot day, I will rewear it again. It is not humid here.

Folded and put away or hung back up. If it's on the floor it goes into the washing machine on laundry day.

I wear at least two outfits a day and the second one is usually only for a couple of hours. I also live in a state where we are in a severe years long drought so it's wasteful to wash clothes over and over again, even with energy efficient machines.

Hanging over the chair at the foot of my bed. If they hit the floor though, they will be covered in pet hair and can't be worn again.

DH has a hanger system. White for clean, gray for clirty, black for put in laundry after wearing. Unless he spills something or gets it dirty. He uses clothespins for his dress pants so he doesn't wear them more than 4 times before washing them, again unless he gets something on them.
He has an office job. He rarely gets dirty at work.

Mine are on the floor of my closet, but in a nice, neat pile. Drives DH crazy. Like many other things that go along with my indecisive personality. He's always telling me, "Decide already - are they clean or dirty? Just do something with them!" Sometimes I end up putting them away in drawers or hang them up, sometimes I just grab the whole stack and put it in the wash. Depends on my mood. This is me and dh too I have a pile of those type of clothes because I don't always where what I wore to work after work, so I'm not going to consider it dirty after 1 hour or something. Worked, changed clothes, went to dinner, came home put on my pjs. Or some variation of that. Where dh will wear whatever he was gardening in to dinner and he rarely if ever changes clothes during the day.

I don't rewear anything aside from pajamas. If it has been on my body, it's going in the washing machine. There's no such thing as a CLIRTY towel in my house, either. One use, into the wash. You will never convince me it's "clean" just because I toweled off my wet, clean body. Nope. That icks me out. I have issues.

I fold mine and put them on top of the dresser. It's usually just a pair of jeans that I put on for a few hours after work.

I put my clothes back where I got them except for pj's. I hang those on a hook on the back of my door.

Clothing that you have worn, but plan to wear again before laundering? ( CLean/dIRTY ) Or do you think rewearing without laundering is an abomination? My clirty clothes are strewn about my bathroom and bedroom floor-- not a good solution. I use a valet stand .

If it's something I'll wear again without needing a wash, I put it back where it goes when it's clean.
If it's dirty it goes straight in the hamper in my closet.

I have a laundry chute in my closet that goes to the basement laundry room, so once it goes down the chute it's gone until the laundry is done. If it's something that I plan to wear again that isn't clean enough to hang back up, like barn clothes I wear to watch my daughter ride a few times a week, it goes in a wicker basket on the floor of my closet. I definitely rewear clothes, and a lot of my stuff goes to the cleaner so it all goes in a laundry bag until I have a chance to drop it off.

For shirts and pants that I wear to work, I fold and pile them on the footstool next to my side of the bed, or on the footstool inside the closet. My BF will hang things back up in the closet. My fear with hanging things back up is that the item will get forgotten about and not washed for a while; I don't want any perspiration to possibly ruin the fabric, so I figure with my method at least they're kind of neatly folded but I know which things have already been worn. Most shirts (tee shirts, knit shirts, etc.) only get worn about twice before washing. Around-the-house shorts get worn off and on for 7-10 days before washing. I do hang all of my skirts up again unless there's a stain on it, or something; I figure skirts don't get as much sweat on as shirts do, I guess?? My skirts are all washable and get washed probably every third-fourth wearing. eta: I like the 'backwards hanger' method, and the clothespin idea- I'll have to remember both of those!! ...forgot about the piles of folded clothes- tee shirts and shorts, mostly- that I move back and forth from the footstool to the top of one of the dog crates; those are actually clean clothes that just haven't made it back into the dresser yet, lol!! (and they may end up needing the lint roller if one of the cats decides any given pile will make a good kitty bed!) @mytnice : 'sacred jammie day' LOL!! I love it!!!

I am a once wear gal. Not because I am special, because I am filthy.
I cannot think of the last time my clothes were clean by the end of the day. If it isn't kid snot or ear wax, I either spilled something while cooking or sat on something on the bus. I'm just classy like that.

I used to have a clirty chair but in all of my reorganization lately I now have a little clirty space over a box. Mostly I hang back up shorts, jeans. Shirts get washed.

I don't understand how people can rewear clothes. My clothes all get washed after one wearing. I work four hours twice a week out of the house. I sit in a pristine cubicle in a pristine building. There are about 8 people who work in my wing that could easily hold 40 people. I don't wash my work clothes after each wear. The things I wear in the summer all day? Those get washed sometimes after just a couple of hours if we've been on the boat or taken walks.

I'm not going to wash something after I've only worn it for a couple hours unless I spilled something on it or otherwise got it actually dirty. I have a bunch of hooded sweatshirts that I put on and take off multiple times a day, and things like that end up in the clirty category. I have some hooks inside my walk in closet where stuff like that can be hung up so it's off the floor. Once it hits the floor though, all bets are off because our one dog will scratch anything left on the floor and not in a laundry basket into a nest to sleep in, and I really don't want to wear it again after that!

I guess it's just always hot here, so I'd never be able to do it. LOL, it's cold and bone dry here more than half the year. Makes it really easy, especially if a person is dressed in layers.
