How to wear clothes out evenly

Short answer: Put washed items at the bottom of the stack and take from the top. Then every piece gets used equally, and the wardrobe wears evenly instead of in one corner.

In at the bottom, out at the top

Without a system the top three items get worn again and again. Adding at the bottom spreads the wear. See bamboo t-shirts for women.

Identical items make it easier

If all socks are identical, rotation makes no difference to appearance, only to lifespan. See bamboo socks for women.

The advantage of even wear

When everything wears evenly, the whole set lasts longer, instead of three pieces wearing out first. See bamboo underwear for women.

Replace in pairs or sets

Buy two new pieces at a time rather than replacing a single one. Then the set keeps pace in age. See bamboo clothing for women.
