How Often Should You Wash Your Clothes? 👕🧺 (And How to Keep Them Looking Fresh)
We all do it — but how often should you actually wash your clothes?
Every day? After two wears? Or can some items just be aired out instead?
Here are practical tips to keep your wardrobe fresh, reduce wear, and make your Vercate pieces last longer. 👌
1. Shirts 👔 – Every 1–2 wears
Shirts are worn close to the skin and pick up sweat and odour quickly, especially in summer.
👉 Wash after 1–2 wears, depending on activity.
🔹 Our non-iron shirts stay fresh and wrinkle-free longer — less washing, less ironing.
2. Polos & T-shirts 👕 – Every 1–2 wears
Polo shirts trap body heat and sweat.
-
In hot weather: wash after 1 wear
-
In cooler weather: every 2 wears may be enough
👉 Tip: hang your shirt out after wearing to air it properly.
3. Trousers 👖 – Every 3–5 wears
You don’t need to wash chinos or dress trousers after each wear.
Too frequent washing can wear out the fabric or fade the colour.
🔹 Our Vercate trousers keep their fit longer with regular airing.
4. Sweaters & jumpers 🧶 – Every 5–6 wears
If worn over a shirt, they stay clean longer. Wash only if smelly or visibly dirty.
👉 Wash wool or delicate fabrics on a gentle cycle or air them out instead.
5. Less washing = longer-lasting clothes 💡
Most people overwash. High temperatures and too much detergent wear out your garments.
✅ Use laundry bags for delicate items
✅ Turn printed items inside-out
✅ Air them out before tossing them in the machine
🌟 Summary
✅ Shirts: 1–2 wears
✅ Polos & T-shirts: 1–2 wears
✅ Trousers: 3–5 wears
✅ Sweaters: 5–6 wears
✅ Less washing = longer lifespan
With quality Vercate basics, you can wear smarter and wash less. 🚀
