overwear
Use clothes excessively
Overwear means to wear something too often or for too long, resulting in damage, fatigue, or diminished appearance: I've overworn these jeans to the point of threadbare knees.
The term applies to clothing, shoes, or accessories subjected to excessive use without adequate rotation or rest.
It can also describe wearing the same item so frequently that others notice the repetition.
