How do you make you clothes last longer than a season?

I tend to wear the same things regularly and have a small amount. But I tend to wear the same 5-7 items that get worn out after a season. How to make them last longer? I bought a sweatshirt last winter and it feels very thin this winter. Might do for layering but yeah it's not giving the same warmth as last year.

My clothes don't last years but that's usually because I'm clumsy and have stained them or the cats have snagged them!

My clothes last me for years and because I’m not a fashion addict and most are classic styles, I have no need to discard and replace regularly.
I add jewellery, scarves etc to add interest.

Also many washing powders are too strong. I have always used a half measure of my washing power plus no fabric conditioner. I also wash things as infrequently as possible.

Where are you buying you clothes from, OP?
