Bamboo clothing for starting university and hall life

Short answer: When you move out of home, the wardrobe has to cope with few washes and little space. A few pieces in the same material and in calm colours go furthest.

Few pieces, many combinations

If you choose colours that work together, you can manage with fewer pieces. See how to build a capsule wardrobe in bamboo.

Underwear and socks first

Those two are worn every day and decide how often you have to wash. See bamboo underwear for men and all bamboo socks for women.

A week between washes

With seven sets of underwear and seven pairs of socks you can wash once a week. That is cheaper on a shared machine.

Loungewear

A lot of time is spent at home in the flat. A set that can also be worn outside is the most used. See bamboo tracksuit for men.

Drying without a tumble dryer

Bamboo viscose should not go in the tumble dryer anyway, and that suits a small room with a drying rack.

Budget

Buy a few pieces of good quality rather than many cheap ones that need replacing after six months. See students on a budget.

Washing

40 degrees, no fabric softener and air drying. See the washing guide.
