Give me your perspective - Are people thinking or assuming DS is wearing the same clothes every single day?

This is so weird. Absolutely people think he's wearing the same clothes! If you care, just... buy more colors or different shades of tops. The pants are fine, but it wouldn't hurt to have 2 colors of pants, like navy and gray.


Right. Like the solution would be to just buy one of each color for shirts (I feel like pants don't matter as much) but instead OP outsourced to the internet.

Op here. I believe you misread - I do have multiple colors of the shirts and bottoms. Depending on what’s clean/what went into the laundry one week, sometimes multiple same color tops and bottoms line up.

When one shirt gets a rip or stain, I’ll buy another shirt and often it may be a different color that’s on sale. So over time I end up with more shirts or more pants of a certain shade.

Elementary teacher and yes I would assume he is wearing the same clothes. But if they are clean and he is otherwise taken care of, I wouldn’t spend much more time thinking about it.

Just rotate the duplicates in when the original gets stained or ripped. That way he isn't wearing two days in a row of royal blue shirts paired with brown pants.

I buy boys tops from Target too... You're talking about saving $1-2 dollars per shirt. Just spend the extra dollar and get a different color!

How often are you doing laundry? No need to buy 6 of the same color if you wash clothes weekly.

Nobody notices or cares as long as his clothes are clean and don't smell. My kids often wear the exact same clothing two days in a row. We do laundry overnight. If your husband cares, I'd put him in charge of setting out the clothes for your son so he can make sure the colors are rotating.

Tell your husband that he is in charge of picking out the clothes the night before (or he can line 5 outfits up on Sunday in order). Whichever parent cares solves the problem. If your husband chooses not to get involved, then he actually doesn’t care that much.
