Can someone help me figure out what I need for my boys (age 2 - 5) each season?

How many Weekday tops per season? Weekday pants? What do I do about in between seasons- separate wardrobe for that?
Dressy weekday (Chol Hamoed type)?
How many shabbos tops and pants?
How many white shirts?
How many pairs shoes, what type?
How many sweatshirts?

I don't want to do their laundry more than 1-2 times a week.

Thanks for helping me!

6 weekday sets
2 better weekday sets (don't have them wear these to school or camp otherwise they will not be "better" when you need it for a party at the end of the season)
3 shabbos sets
1 pr shabbos shoes
1 pr weekday shoes
1 crocs/running around/scraping of riding toy shoes
1 sweatshirt
1 jacket type sweatshirt

Generally the kids need 8-12 sets of clothes. I find the kids are hard on their clothes so I prefer buying more sets, but this is enough if you'd rather not have so many clothes to take care of.

I find that 8-9 weekday and two Shabbos outfits plus robe does the trick for me. And as the poster above posted, two of those weekday outfits are "better" and reserved for Sundays/parties/occasions.

Thank you all!!!
I'm going to use this list for future reference!
One son likes to change after school; maybe I'll make a "rule" that is has to be into a pair of older, last season clothing so that I'm not washing laundry so often despite having 6 sets of clothing.

I edited my op to ask about the in between season; do I need separate wardrobe for that too?

For the in between season you need about 4 extra lightweight long sleeve t-shirts but usually you can find some long sleeve lightweight stuff in their current wardrobes, and just add an extra 2 t-shirts to keep you covered.
