Fewer working days and fewer shirts

Short answer: Going from five to three working days, the number of work garments should fall and the number of everyday garments should rise.

The calculation changes

With five working days you need five shirts. With three, three is enough if you wash weekly. The two spare ones do nothing in the wardrobe and get older without being worn.

What should go up in number

Everyday clothing is now worn four days a week rather than two. That means more tops and one extra bottom in that category. See bamboo clothing for men.

Underwear and socks do not change

They are worn every day whatever is on top. The number should therefore stay the same as before. See bamboo underwear for men and bamboo socks for men.

Frequently asked questions

Should you sell what you no longer wear

Pass it on. It does not improve by sitting in the wardrobe.

How many shirts for three days

Three, if you wear an undershirt and wash weekly.

What if the days are unpredictable

Then keep one in reserve. Four covers a fluctuating schedule.
