Don’t throw them away- save your favourite clothes to mend. Little stitches subtle or bright add further depth of character to your much loved pieces. It may be a beautiful fabric only to be used as a patch to repurpose & embellishments.
Of course it’s not all about saving everything, it’s ok to still buy new but small actions by many save so many wasted clothes ending up in some countries landfill or seashore.
