In contrast to the common 'throw the old buy the new' attitude towards clothes, you can make a lot of money in your wrinkled old clothes in the closet. Not needing it does not necessarily suggest that you must throw it, rather think of the global economic crisis as an inspiration to manage your clothes the do-it-yourself way.
You can make a single action noble by making good use of your old clothes. If you happen to have a constricted closet and dresser due to tons of old unused clothes, maybe its time for you to put them out and start the following:
Garage sale
Clothes swapping
Donations (charity organizations or even better to the homeless street people)
Learn sewing (maximize the use of your old clothes by making them as useful floor rags, etc.) Clothes such as men's ties, shirts, pants are a good tool for exploring your sewing prowess.
You see, there are plenty of ways how to make good use of unnecessary stock of clothes. Start doing it right now before piling more rubbish in your home.

On Men's masculinity and Fashion
Men's fashion determines how they carry their sexuality. To some metrosexuals have some feminine types but what the heck, sexuality and men's fashion should not be pinned down to one restricting label. In the contemporary world, men's sexuality is somehow culturally defined on how men cope up with conformity to ultra imposed mass media standards.
If one is not able to compensate, there's gonna be a problem. Not yet concrete, this problem will soon be visible in social and familial relationships. Magazines, online fashion websites, and fashion shows all fuel the definition of men's fashion and sexuality.
The roles projected in television shows and movies strongly imply a standard on men's role in society - how they must look, how they should act, and what a made is made of (mass media standards). Exposed by the media education foundation, masculinity has been oppressing the other sexes more and more as people get drawn and imitate what they saw.
The messages are oftentimes subliminal, it strikes the unconscious wittingly that men aren't even aware that they are exactly doing what they've been told to do. In contrast, men who are more aware of such things tend to somehow propagate a different point of view. a perspective that is gives more freedom in terms of fashion, self expression and above all freedom on one's sexuality.
Men's ties, shoes, blings, cars usually pitch how men should be. An affirmative action of the ego as Bill Maher puts it, men's sexuality in fashion is culturally constructed and not anymore personally defined.
