Hoe vaak moet je een overhemd/polo wassen?

How Often Should You Wash a Shirt? (Without Wearing It Out Too Fast)

A common question – and the answer depends on how you wear your shirt. Washing too often shortens its lifespan. Washing too little… well, that’s not very stylish either 😅

Let’s break it down 👇


👔 Business shirt (under blazer or sweater)

Worn 1 day? Then wash. Sweat and skin oils build up even if you don’t see them.

✅ Tip: Air your shirt briefly after wearing to avoid odor.


🧺 Casual shirt (over a T-shirt or alone)

Worn without an undershirt? Wash after each wear.
With an undershirt? Then you can wear it twice.

🧼 Wash cold (30°C) and gently, always inside out.


💡 Want your shirt to last longer?

Use the hand wash setting or wash by hand for maximum fabric life. Especially for Japanese Knitted shirts →


🧼 Washing tips:

  • Use liquid detergent, no bleach

  • 400 RPM maximum (low spin)

  • Never tumble dry – hang on a hanger

  • Iron while slightly damp for best result


✨ Summary

How often you should wash a shirt depends on how you wear it. But the rule is simple: treat it gently, and it’ll stay beautiful longer.
