I feel like you are describing consumerism.
You don’t need new things. You want new things.
Durability only matters if they’re worn out. If they’re worn out, you can’t donate them. If they’re not worn out, you don’t need new pants yet.

This! It's a bit annoying to see so many people in minimalism circles judge consumerism when in reality a lot of them find excuses to buy shit too. Unless those jeans are broken or no longer fit, no new jeans are needed.

i have lost a lot of weight in the past year (around 20kg, not sure in lbs as i’m european), would getting them adjusted be a better option as opposed to donating and buying new?
