all too real and speaks to an unsolved problem in the wardrobe design space; how was this addressed in the past when laundry was a much bigger deal? how did handmaids handle this for their clients?

No mom it's not a "messy pile of clothes on my chair" it's an L1 cache for fast random access to my frequently used clothes in O(1) time. It needs to be big to avoid expensive cache misses (looking in my closet). I NEED to be min…

I've recently taken to using a dedicated shelf just for this purpose and it's been Quite Nice; instead of pretending this need doesn't exist I explicitly acknowledge it and designate a staging area
why are we generally so unwilling to do this? so many people have The Chair

is it that Proper Adults don't seem to have this problem? and, perhaps this is true, as I don't recall my parents having a Chair; why is this so? do they truly not re-wear clothing? or do they put it back in their closet and don't differentiate between unworn and worn but clean?
@pee_zombie I use a row of hooks at the back of a door (wardrobe or room) for this purpose, and it's almost perfect. Only problem is that its capacity is a bit small, but if necessary, we can add more hooks somehow.
@pee_zombie Ultimately the solution is to have only two outfits: one is being worn, other is being washed and dried. Then rotate. Double buffering. Small amount of extras for creating combinations but the extras are swapped in "synchronously" with the reintroduction of the freshly washed batch.
@pee_zombie Alternative idea, albeit with much smaller applicability: I've been using a head/tail board of my bed for this purpose. It's great, because capacity is very flexible, by squishing each garment into a more narrow (but tall) slice of the rail's length. However it's inferior to hooks in that ventilation is poor. If the garment is a bit damp, then I need a hook.
