I also am a longtime fan of "the chair"
I think what's crucial is that we're clean underneath. I hang my clothes overnight to air them a bit before they go back in the wardrobe.
The only things that get washed after one wear are knickers and anything I mess up by spilling something or doing a messy job.
Then put back into wardrobe and on rest of clothes rail with the hangers the wrong way round.
So hangers the right way round (ie with open "hooks" at top pointing towards wall) when clean and hung the other way round (ie with "hook" at top pointing towards me) when lightly worn.

That makes a lot of sense, given that most bedroom chairs are often too cluttered with clothes to be able to sit on! I must Google and see what's available. Anybody have any suggestions as to what type of facilities on them they find most useful and which should be a predominate feature, ie trouser hanging rails, more than one coat hanger facility, etc?
Cardigans I wear a few times before I wash them as they don't get as messy as my dog normally jumps up on my lap or legs!:D
I just shake the cardigan down and hang it back up in the wardrobe at the end of the rail so I know I have worn it more than once.
I put tops etc on hangers on an over the door hanger. I try to wear them again within a few days then they go into the wash. Trousers are hung over the back of the chair so they don't get too creased and are ready for re-wear! Not perfect but works quite well for me!
Thanks to everyone who contributes to this wonderful forum. I'm very grateful for the guidance and friendliness that I always receive from you.

I have more than enough clothes to last me for the next 40+ years of my life (yes, seriously!) and knowing just how much resource goes into textile production now don't intend to buy any more, unless I expand or shrink significantly. This is what comes of buying into consumerism in my late twenties - early thirties. I was working so hard at the time that retail was my therapy
