Pro tip. Go to the laundromat. They have 75gallon machines. You can do a whole months worth of laundry in 1 go for a whole family. 30 minutes wash, 30-60 minutes dry. 1 afternoon, clothes for a month.

Or do drop off service, which costs 10x more, but you don't have to do anything. Some even pickup/deliver

    You need to actually have enough clothes to last a month without washing, though. I'd last 10 days, maybe. Washing machine capacity is definitely not the limiting factor for me.

    The best place to get clothes is the local uniform supply/restaurant supply/hardware store.

    Work type clothes are designed to be worn every day. Even if you have a small place you can store clothes in a box under the bed or at the bottom of the closet.

    What if I don't want to wear those types of clothes?

    Have you gone to one of those places?

    Restaurant supply places have very chic options; lots of upscale places use tuxedoes. Security guard blazers and slacks look pretty good.

    I don't wear any clothes that could (traditionally) be part of a suit.

    The Canadian tuxedo has entered the chat.

    Can you even buy jeans pants and jeans jackets at the "local uniform supply/restaurant supply/hardware store."?

    In my area there are a lot of hardware stores that carry work clothes. Rain gear, boots, even underwear. I never asked, but I always assumed the thinking was that when a guy shows up for a hammer, he'll look and remember that he needs a shirt.
