What's wrong with smell testing your clothes? As long as they smell clean and look clean, aren't they clean?

And I say that as someone who works from home and rarely visits the 100 degree outside my house. Why shouldn't I use smell and appearances to judge whether my shorts are clean or not? I should mention that I bathe daily and wear underwear and undershirts that I change daily. I just don't see why I need to change my overclothes too, if they smell and look clean.

I'm not a slob, so why do I need to change my clothes like one? I'd much rather save money on clothes and laundry. Is that so wrong?

Answers:
Not wrong at all in my opinion. Washing your clothes too often just wears them out.

What is clean?
A big stain is not ok.
No one is going to check your laundry bill so it is your decision.

Yuck.
Here here!
I do that too, so no, I don't see a thing wrong with it!

As long as you're not a member of the dirty underwear brigade, then no problemo!
Because they have your dead skin cells on them.
However, if that thought doesn't bother you, and they don't smell dodgy,give them a few squizzes of Febreeze, and off you go!
Not at all, suit yourself.
Maybe you should ask the Dust Mites and organisms living in your clothes. The build-up of these can make you sick especially if you have sinus problems.
You loose dead skin cells like crazy that are trapped in the fabric of your clothes not to mention body oils and hairs that you cant see. these can cause rashes and acne if you continue to put them in contact with your "clean" skin for days
You can wear the clothes again however, keep in mind that you are so familiar with your own smell that you might not know the shirt stinks. Alot of people with bad B.O. dont realize they have it.
