How to build up a drawer over time

Short answer: Replace one category at a time rather than the whole drawer. Start with what you use most, and buy several the same rather than a few different.

One category at a time

Replace all the socks in one go, then the underwear next time. That way you feel the difference and avoid a large outlay. See all bamboo socks for men.

Several the same

Ten identical pairs of socks can be matched without sorting, and one hole does not cost a whole pair. The same principle applies to underwear. See bamboo underwear for men.

Start with what you use most

You wear underwear and socks the most hours. They give back the most per amount spent. See bamboo underwear for women.

Top up as you go

When a model works, you can buy a pair more at a time instead of waiting until everything is worn out. See Christmas gift ideas.

Care extends all of it

40 degrees and no fabric softener almost double the life. See washing and care.

Frequently asked questions

Where should you start?

With what you wear the most hours, that is underwear and socks.

Why several the same?

Because they can be matched without sorting, and one hole does not cost the whole pair.

Should you replace everything at once?

No. One category at a time is both cheaper and easier to feel the difference from.
