It’s funny how the lifecycle of men’s clothes is so different. First there’s the good clothes. Then, when they wear down, they are pushed into the “use when getting dirty” clothes. This is specifically used to go fishing, work on the car, yardwork, moving shit, etc.
Dress clothing however just gets donated. This is why if you go to a thrift store, you’ll see much more dress clothing than any other clothing for men.
I used to work at a thrift store a long time ago and tried to figure out why there were so many button downs and suits for men and nothing else.
Womens clothing can be like that too, but 1 - it wears out so fast and 2 - there are a lot more categories other than “casual” and “formal.”
Womens jeans and tshirts do often become, like, gardening clothes or what have you, it’s just that we have more categories and most don’t make good work clothes.

My pants often tear on the upper inner thigh… Cant really repurpose those for anything or donate them
Patch them? Garden pants are frequently patched
Women’s jeans also become women’s jorts and then gardening jorts lol
“This party dress is a bit dated, guess I’ll do the gardening in it”
Yeah nah
