    but a basic wardrobe is something like 3 Ts, 3 long sleave tops, 2 heavy pants, 2 light pants/skirts etc. you don’t need to buy it all at once.

    No, you just have to do laundry more than once a week. Most people who don’t have their own washer or dryer don’t have time for that.

      What are you doing where you can’t wear pants for a week or a top for 3 days?

      Hard labour you don’t wear new clothes you wear your old tattered stuff and hand me downs/second hand etc, or toughened workwear.

      It sounds like you want to find a reason to do nothing rather than do what you can. Like if you want to avoid enslaving others and animal cruelty your lifestyle will have to change because your lifestyle is based on exploitation. If you don’t want to change then get comfortable with slavery, idk what else to say.

      Rather than shoot down things, why don’t you say how much time you’re willing to put into it and how much money? and what resources you have?

        Nothing. On the other hand, wearing 3 shirts for more than 3 days makes people not want to come near you due to the stench.

        Ok. I’m unemployed, I have to spend my days helping my daughter with online schoolwork and I did buy new clothing this year because I’ve lost 60 pounds due to a still yet-to-be diagnosed illness where I haven’t eaten any solid food since August and dropping down that many sizes is not fixable by just altering pants. Let alone underwear.

        Any more personal info you’d like? My telephone number? My bank balance?

          No need to get snarky, you opened this convo by asking what you should wear and then just started lashing out. I am not responsible for your situation or the ludicrous injustice in the world, I am just trying to help.

          I’m sorry you’re in a tough sitch, if you’re truly willing and able to do nothing then I have no idea why you asked. All I really say is wear second hand or get comfortable being a slaver, that’s the choice we get atm.

            I never said you were. You asked, so I told you.
