I beg to differ. The condition of clothing is correlated to quality and amount and type of wear. I have some (plain) t-shirts that have lasted 10 or more years with no fading. Avoiding hot water and clothes dryers goes a very long way to making clothing last.
Your point stands on logo or lettered shirts - those do not usually age well from a style perspective.

Some brands now require two or even three layers before you can stop worrying if your birthmarks and tattoos are still visible. Heavier fabrics can endure more wear.
