Bamboo clothing for people who want fewer things
Short answer: Fewer things work if the pieces are versatile enough and you have plenty of what has to be washed often. Underwear and socks are the exception to the rule.
Versatility rather than quantity
Seven T-shirts that go with everything beat twenty that do not. Two base colours make it possible. See bamboo T-shirts for men.
Underwear is the exception
Underwear and socks have to be washed after every wear. There, fewer pieces are not an advantage. See bamboo underwear for men.
Outer layers can be few
Jumpers and trousers are worn several times between washes. There, fewer pieces make sense. See bamboo underwear for women.
Quality pays off
With fewer pieces each one is worn more, and the quality is felt more clearly. See all bamboo socks for men.
Look after it properly
With fewer pieces each one is washed more often. Gentle washing therefore matters more. See washing and care.
