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 😅

No, i’m not’
I own nothing white for that reason.
I can respect that
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.
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 ironing.
As if everyone is actually ironing their clothes…
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.
If you live somewhere with mosquitos, you can’t win.
Dark colors: better for stains, worse for avoiding mosquitos

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.
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
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.
Only mildly. Some which I especially like I’ll save for special occasions, but I’m not scared of just wearing a stained shirt to work/the store because clothes are made to be worn and life happens while you’re wearing them and other people know that.
Isn’t everyone?
I don’t like wearing light colors anyways, especially white. I will wear other colors, yes, but nothing too bright.
