Is it more eco-friendly to have just enough clothes?

Many people have many more clothes than they can ever wear, but is it more eco-friendly to have just enough clothes? I don't know how clothes are made today and how the production process is harmful to the environment if it is. I also don't know if throwing away these clothes is any good for the environment, but if so, should you take a minutes to think about how many clothes you should have or not?

Actually the less things you have, the more friendly you are in the environment. We should learn to buy things that has quality to prevent buying from time to time. This does not only saves the environment but you can save more money too.

My wife and I have done a lot of closet purging this year in order to make way for baby. It's weird to see all the things we've worn for a single season, packed away and forgot
about. Now that we've downsized our clothing inventory, hopefully that will be less of a problem.

I've definitely amassed a much too large collection of t-shirts over the years. So, I've taken the older holey ones and am now using them as cleaning cloths in lieu of disposable kitchen roll.

I also have a whole s-load of tube socks. Enough to last me for a month without having to launder them. This makes for larger laundry loads which in a way is better for the environment, although my wife would probably argue that having a pile of my dirty socks laying around all month is an eco-hazard.
