But the pile now has to be sorted upon access, and depending on the query (such as trying to find matching socks), this will likely become wildly inefficient.
That's why I only own black socks, and just wear jeans, t-shirt and hoodie/shirt
I worked with a guy who had 5 sets of the same work clothes. Wore the same outfit everyday, and yes it was all black head to toe.
I never did verify if he actually had 5 sets of clothes or just liked washing one pair everyday, but he never stank so whichever it was worked out.
I've got work "uniforms", and weekend "uniforms". Probably 7 or 8 changes of each, but all the work clothes are identical and all the weekend clothes are identical.
I look ageless in photos cause I always have the same stuff on, and getting dressed is so easy. Probably no good for people who care about fashion though. Glad I don't tbh, shits expensive and wasteful.
he probably had 25. Ive maybe 6 of one shirt, 5 of another, three or four of a few others, 15 pairs of pants. All the shirts are black, gray, black in a different material, or gray in a a different material. Pants are all black or blue. Jackets all black. 100 pairs of the same sock. I can dress in the dark and everything matches.
That's a ridiculous amount of clothes! 15 pairs of pants...WTF!?
I have 5 t-shirts for private use, 2 for work, 3 shirts, 2 pairs of pants and maybe 10 pairs of socks...
They pile up over time if you buy quality clothes and stay the same size. maybe 5 are in "Oil change and mechanical work" condition now.
I got 5 pairs of the same black cargo pants, and an unknown amount of black hoodies and shirts. I have to be sure to throw in a non default shirt every other day so people think I'm normal. I just think black is good enough and give off the vibe of dead inside. I don't want to be misleading.
I have 4 pairs of the same kacki shorts that I use for work. It's comfy.
5x work shirts, 5x work pants, bagged/black t-shirts and fisherman pants for home, all black socks. L1 cache is the drier. L2 is the shelf next to the drier. There is nothing beyond L2.
I just wear band-shirts, black Levis 501 jeans and hoodies/plaid shirts. Cargo shorts in the summer, idgaf if I'm fashionable. I like the way I dress, so does my SO 😃

...wait, you just throw socks onto the pile without putting matching pairs together beforehand? I've learned that an alternate universe exists, and I'm not okay with it.
You half-ass the folding of your clothes and then throw them into a pile anyway?
I roll the ankles together when I take them off, then wash them like that. They usually come out of the dryer still together
That’s a good idea!
"Sorted upon access"? When adding to the pile, I make sure I can still see a piece of every article of clothing. Random access is only grabbing and yanking.
Adding is O(n log n), removing is O(1)
You could either have socks already in pairs at drying time (we hangdry so we do this, just hang them together and when taking off, fold one into the other, they will not separate accidentally). Alternatively you could have all the same socks and not care.
Alternatively, you can just not care if yours socks match. I only care for my business socks because a) they all have silly designs and b) My line of work calls for a slight bit of professionalism in appearance, so I try to style my hair, clean up my facial hair and at least have matching socks, goofy as they might be. Thank god I don’t have to wear a suit.
