Do you wear white?

Bleach turns organic stains yellow

whaaaaat? is this true?

Jesse used to boil his work shirts to get them white after punishing, sweaty server shifts. I have asked him to step in here and explain his technique.

Technique:

- Boil shirts

I put them in OxyClean for extended periods, which helped more than anything else. Boiling was an act of desperation. It might have helped, but I don't really know for sure.

I recently bought laundry bluing and I'm hoping that helps make whites last longer for me.

Technique:

- Boil shirts

rare is the time in my waking life where I am not wearing a white tshirt

I tried bluing. I think it left blue spots on things but did not actually make my whites blue-whiter. Maybe you need to pre-mix it with really hot water and then pour the mixture in with the washwater so it dilutes better? Something I do/did not have access to at random laundromat.

I went to Sears to buy Hanes undershirts, but they were out of them and I got Covington instead and those motherfuckers are terrible. They feel rough, the fabric is thin and limp, and they are wide enough for another half of a Jesse.

xp - Yeh, that's the thing about bluing - you have to dilute it and add it when the rinse cycle is full, which is a hassle because I don't hang out in my laundry room during the wash. But I've got secret planz for sneaking a mini washer and mini dryer into my apartment and I am looking forward to laundry miracles than can only be accomplished with the coveted In-Unit Laundry.

(oops, big pic. sorry)

of course i wear white! everyone needs one pair of white trousers. at least.

I will never ever where white pants. Some people can pull them off. I would feel, and therefore look, ridiculous.

Where?

Dammit. U know what I meant!

I don't wear white at all. Props to those who can pull it off.

One thing I like about New Orleans is that ordinary people can get pull off wearing a white linen suit, at least on certain occasions.

i wore a white tux to prom don't do that

i mean, wait, never mind, do what you want. i apparently did.

Any comtemplation of white clothing seems to always devolve into discussions about laundry care, stain removal, whether it's really necessary to wash whites separately, and whether chlorine bleach or near-boiling water temperatures are desirable. I'm fine with the way white looks when it's new and clean, but keeping it looking that way is too high-maintenance for me, so I usually wear darker colors, preferably with a stain-disguising pattern or texture.

white dress shirts only but about 3x per week

They wash down really well after about 6-8 years.

I wish undergarment companies would just sell white tees that have been continually washed for 6-8 years. I have a few fruit of the loom white tees that I never wear, I just toss them in the hamper again and again, hoping that they'll break down one day enough to be soft.

was thinking the other day that i should rock white jeans this summer
totally could pull that off i think

White jeans

White V necks is all I wear in the summer, and to work. I own a pair of white jeans but only wear when I would go dancing at country bars. I don't really go dancing in country bars anymore.

i never don't regret wearing white

I bought white leggings. What is wrong with me.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

i've noticed that a lot of women in their late-50s and 60s wear white linen pants (lined, of course)
and that most women in this town who wear white jeans pair them with heels, high ones

i am wearing white cotton shorts atm

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I'm at a show - it is hot in here and it's btwn bands - and I was just thinking how wearing white in the woods is a beautiful and ridiculous thing so I think I will dig that strapless white dress out of the giveaway bag and wear it camping or at the cottage this summer

or not, it's ok

Excellent use of white flows dress imo

wore white to my junior prom

perhaps not the best look for me

do not pitch the white dress

it has a flowy knee-length skirt - with a thin layer of tulle! which is why i'm like lol forest dress bc it is def not a city dress for me

O_O waaaaaant

since I started this thread I have purchased 2 more white tops.
