Boy that's a first-world problem if I've ever heard of one.
Even so, I live in a 1st world nation and both the wife and I buy sturdy functional clothing and, guess what?, it lasts for many years. We use it till it's fit for rags. Then we use the rags.
If/when we outgrow it but it's still serviceable it goes to rummage sale or goodwill. Plenty of folks will definitely buy good shoes, jeans, etc. at goodwill - if serviceable these are not going to pollute 3rd world countries and it really helps people. Hell, we shop for good jeans at goodwill, etc. too.
If you are having the ethical dilemma about where to donate your worn-once, too cheap, dry-clean-only but super-chic outfits when your closet is overflowing, you are definitely doing it wrong in at least 6 ways. Spoiler alert: the problem is not the goodwill company, the media, or the fashion industry.
