If you rotate through 20 shirts, wearing one for one day, you would wear each 36 times in 2 years. I think many t-shirts last about that long (or at least start to look quite worn at that time)
My daily wardrobe features a rotation of 15 T-shirts, paired with another rotation of longsleeves for cold seasons, all in plain generic colors to make it easy to match.
My accounting data says I got those shirts in August 2018. I have worn one of these 15 T-shirts everyday since then (with very few exceptions, e.g. when formal wear was called for). Let's round that to 2.5 years, i.e. 912 days, i.e. about 60 wears per shirt. I'm not seeing any significant degradation on these shirts, so I can easily see myself wearing these at least another 3 years, which would be over 130 wears per shirt.
This inspired me to do my math. I have 8 t-shirts in rotation, most 3-4 years old. Only one is unwearable without a sweater over the top (and yes, I still wear it).

For reference, this is the model I'm wearing right now: http://www.gildan.se/en/o61001-en-grey

Nothing wrong with shirts looking quite worn on a regular workday if you aren't in sales.
Agreed. Especially if you are wearing something on top of them (like a hoodie) most of the time.
