How many times should you wear dress shirts, pants before you wash them?

I'll usually wear a dress shirt twice before putting it in the laundry bin.

Pants? Probably 3 times.

*this is under the assumption of being not over 85 degrees outside

I only wear twice if I only wore it the first time for like an hour, otherwise it's getting cleaned.

I have these Claiborne wool slacks that I will happily wear for five days.

The Dockers go a day.

My office stays in the low 60s though. No swamp arse.

I usually wash them after three and a half days of wear.

2 times with shirts as long as they stay stain-free

5 times with pants if I iron and stain-free

How do you wear a dress shirt a second time without it being wrinkled as shite?

Once if I can just throw them in the washer. I go longer for items that need to be dry cleaned.

Depends on how many times I pass gas onto the back of them throughout the day

The cheapest laundry near me is $3.50 a load and requires quarters. There's also a place nearby that's $6 a load. I couldn't afford to go through laundry that quickly

1 time with shirt, got to have that heavy starch. I like my shirt to stand up on its own.

Depends on if I was in the office all day or if I went to any job sites.

And obviously the time of year. A half hour on a job site in August and it all needs to be washed before wearing another day.

1. Why do you not bring dress shirts to the cleaners? They'll last way longer.

2. Why do you have to go to a laundromat?
