How many times do you wear something?

[laurabegorrah]

I normally only wear tops and dresses once - but that's 100% for fashion and not for function :) I love clothes. For Bottoms, I'll normally bring 1 or 2 day time options and just rotate them - so daytime bottoms get maybe 2 or 3 wears. I'll also have a few nicer bottoms for evenings when I'm not in sun dresses, and they will get reworn how ever often is needed for the tops I brought to go with them. I wouldn't have an issue wearing the same 'evening bottoms' 4 times. Of course, all bets are off if there is a spill. lol

 

I refuse to do laundry on vacation, and I'm pretty particular about how I wash my stuff, so I wouldn't trust the ship's laundry for anything, even t-shirts.

I generally bring one pair of slacks for a 7 day cruise and change shirts. I only wear them to dinner so I wear them for 5 days but only for dinner and then change.

I make out a clothing chart. I wear one outfit (capri) to dinner, minimal wear and then plan to wear it later in the week to port with a different top. Anything I wear into port probably won't be worn again since I'll sweated, etc.

 

:D

 

I do this and my chart is some of my most fun pre-cruise. If I bring a reversible dress or skirt, I generally get even more wears if we aren't in sweaty situations. --Debbie

Ditto!

I pack equally the number of day outfits and night outfits per number of days sailings and an airport outfit for the return home. I'll interchange shoes and jewelry between outfits. (I'm a heavy packer.[emoji18])

I guess I am in the minority. I feel absolutely icky (for lack of a better word) wearing the same thing twice. :eek:

You'd be surprised how long a pair of capri pants and a good pair of Sketchers brand "Shape-Ups" can last during a cruise !!!

I think I'm in the minority as well... Not a fan of re-wearing stuff because I find my pants begin to "sag", my clothes begin to smell like "ocean" or "outside", and they just don't look or feel fresh the second time around. While I will re-wear my evening clothes if necessary, I try not to re-wear my daytime clothes.

 

This was a huge challenge for me for my upcoming Alaskan cruise. For 12 days (including flying) and 10 nights (the 11th night will be spent on a red-eye flight), I have 5 pairs of daytime pants (3 yoga-material pants - 1 leggings, 1 Capri leggings, and 1 flared pants), 9 daytime t-shirts/tank tops, 1 3/4 sleeve top, 3 sweatshirts, and 1 denim jacket. So each top will be worn once, and the pants 2-ish times each. And the sweatshirts likely twice each depending on weather.

 

In terms of night-time clothes, I'm bringing 1 dress for formal nights, 1 skinny leg dress pants, 1 pair of boot cut dress pants, 5 tops, and 1 cardigan.

 

The real test of this plan will be when I put my suitcase on the scale tomorrow! [emoji54]

I only wear something once. I wouldn't put something not clean on again.

 

I plan all my outfits to a T before we leave and have a couple of spare outfits just in case. The only thing I would ever consider wearing again is shoes but even then I generally have enough pairs so I don't have to. Driving to the ports is such a blessing for a fashionista!!
