I have never used or owned a dryer in my entire life, and I've always worn dry clothes :)
In wintertime, I have an indoor drying rack that can be folded when not in use, so it doesn't take up much room.
In summertime, I hang my clothes outside on the clothesline.
Did you know... you can dry your clothes on the clothesline outdoors too. It will take longer but they will dry.
At first, as long as they are wet, they will actually stick to the clothesline.
Once they are dry, they don't stick and you can remove them easily.
The reason why I don't dry my clothes outdoors in wintertime is because there is too much snow, and the clothes would be touching the snow and have no chance to dry.
You don't need to use a dryer.
I dried my clothes outside a few weeks ago, it was freezing the entire time.
They were dry within 24 hours and their smell was even better and fresher than in summer time.
Usually I don't dry clothes outside in wintertime because it seems we never have enough sunshine and every time I turn around, we have freezing rain or snow. Plus it's cold on my hands to hang up my clothes while it's freezing.

I live in the great white tundra of the northeast area of the USA. I live in a townhouse condo. I share two neighbors on either side of my home. I wish I could dry my clothes outside, but it's against the rules. I will use a drying rack in the bathroom for small things. You have to watch out for mold when drying indoors. Very Important!
