Wearing what you own for longer costs less than buying better clothes. Where the damage happens.
Garments suffer more during washing and drying than during wear. Machine friction, hot water and dryer heat shave away at the fibres a little at a time. Rather than washing everything after one wear, outerwear and jeans often only need airing out.
Temperature and drying make the largest difference. Cold washing and air drying alone extend the life of clothes noticeably. Washing inside out reduces surface friction and colour loss, and a mesh bag prevents tangling and stretching.
Hanging knitwear and heavy jumpers stretches the shoulders and pulls the whole garment out of shape. Anything that cannot carry its own weight should be folded. Shirts and jackets, by contrast, crease when folded and are better hung. Wide-shouldered hangers leave fewer marks.
Anything going away until next season must be stored clean. Invisible marks and sweat discolour over time and attract insects. Sealing in plastic traps moisture, so a breathable cover with a desiccant inside works better.
The more clothes you own, the worse the care each one gets. Anything unworn for a whole season will probably go unworn next year too. Removing them makes what remains visible and leaves less to maintain, which is what actually extends their life.
