Dye your black clothes! They easily look faded after some washes, but if you dye them they’ll look like new, well, almost at least and last looong.

Dying other colors on the other hand is more risky. I’m never fully satisfied with, say, beige stuff dyed blue. Or even white clothes dyed black: strangely enough, you can’t be sure the result will be black-black.

I freaking LOVE sweater shavers. I remember I used to always use the one at my Oma’s house when I was little because it was so fun.

It’s so nice that you’re not apologetic about having a big wardrobe. And I love these tips for taking care of clothes! I feel like sometimes a large wardrobe is a no-no in the PF community and have some guilt about what clothes are currently residing in my closet.

In reply to Frugal Fries. Exactly dude, that deodorant smell bugs me and so I put everything in the laundry basket. Well, and to be honest, my work is usually physical labor and so if I didn't wash my clothes after each wear they'd truly stink. WHich might not bug me, but my wife would have a fit!

I admit I never read the label for washing instructions. I ended up ruining many of my shirts and sweaters.

I definitely agree on all of these points. My clothes last longer because I hand wash and line dry all of them, but I realize hand washing isn’t for everyone ;). It is incredibly easy to line dry all or almost all of your clothes, though, and does save money and make clothes last longer.
