In the first 3 seasons the crew had a clothes room, which enabled them to change clothes several times a day.
But what about season 4? Most of them wear only two or so outfits each (I'm taking a guess from memory here) in the whole season. Avon wears black, and seems to have compelled the others to dress in greys (a uniform?)
Now in 'Power' they're all worried about there being no food. They'd have to make food runs to other planets regularly to get supplies. Couldn't they buy clothes too? And how did they keep outfits they wore for days on end clean, esp. after being in the glycolene tank? What do they do? Strip off and fling all their clothes into an ultra-fast dry-cleaning machine, then stand, naked and shivering, waiting for their clothes to be ejected all clean, pressed and folded?

Maybe they had multiple identical sets of each outfit. It was an economy measure (having lost the treasure room) to buy in bulk for the discount. ;-)

Ah, she beat me to it. Though I was thinking that Dorian had bought multiple suits, because he was thinking in the long term -- or maybe when he liked something, he *really* liked something. Or he was a fanatical bargain hunter.

Or maybe the place they shopped is like my friend's formerly favorite lingerie store in the U.S. It's her former favorite because she'd find a bra she liked and then they'd discontinue making it. She'd find another, and they'd discontinue that. It got so she'd buy 10-15 bras when she found one she liked. If they did the same, they'd have plenty of the same outfit. (And it's easier to get dressed in a hurry if there's little worry about things not matching.)
