An easy way to extend the life of your clothing is to always wash on the delicate or gentle cycle. If you're not out in the mud all day (most of us aren't but some are!), your clothes will wash clean without all that extra agitation. Additionally, using your dryer on the low heat setting will also keep your clothes from fraying and looking faded.
Not all clothes are dirty just because you wore them a full day. Most pants and jeans as well as shirts worn over undershirts can be worn more than once between washings - unless you spill ketchup on them or something.
I always hang my jeans to dry rather than put them in the dryer at all because the more I dry them the shorter they become. I have a long inseam, so I need all the length I can get!
Extending the life of your clothes can save a lot of money, especially if you buy your clothes based on need rather than fads. You can still be fashionable, just don't let the opinions of others make all your clothes buying decisions.
