Quick answers
Direct answers to the questions readers ask most.
How many times can you wear clothes before washing them?
Jeans: 5-10 wears. Sweaters: 3-5. Tees and anything against skin: 1-2. Bras: 2-3. Outerwear: seasonally.
Is it gross to wear the same outfit two days in a row?
No - unless you sweated in it or it touches skin directly. Airing overnight resets most pieces.
How do you make old clothes look new again?
De-pill knits, steam everything, refresh the fit with small tailoring, and style them against one current piece.
What does 'shop your closet' actually mean?
Styling new outfits from clothes you already own instead of buying new ones - treating your wardrobe as the store.
Before buying, ask: will I wear this at least 30 times? If not, do not buy it.
