Question ( need a new closet/ confused )

I have started a slow journey to start cutting out materials from my closet. Whilst I have some shirts made with 100% cotton, I have tank tops with 97% which is my minimum amount I want to have. This is because a lot of shops do not have full cotton available and they are really pretty. I had three polyester strapy tops that I plan to throw out soon because I got a replacement from my new tanks. Shorts are mixed with materials that I am okay with at the moment. All my jeans are 100% cotton which I’m glad about whilst my summer flowy trousers are either polyester or mixed with materials ( even the supposed linen trousers that only have 11% of actual linen). However, I don’t plan on throwing them out since I cannot replace them at this time and it is getting warmer so I will need them. This comes down to sweatshirts and other forms of jackets I own that contain 95% polyester. I can’t believe it and never realised that clothes are so full of plastics. I have two fav sweatshirts with built in mock necks that are 95% polyester and I noticed their decline with the smell they have after washing, I have some floaty jackets that are like this too though have no smell. Despite this I have a hollister sweatshirt with 60% cotton that I now love and recently bought a mixed 60% cotton sweatshirt. I still have lot of polyester in my closet referring to sweaters etc (top parts of my outfits) but cannot buy clothes at the moment. I plan on slowly changing my closet with new pieces over the span of two years but can’t help to not feel guilty when ever wearing a high contented piece. Overall, sweatshirts are hard to find in this century that contain 80% and 100% cotton that are cheap and from stores like H&M, Bershka and Stradivarius where I shop often. If you have had a similar experience I would be glad to have some insight on how you went about.

Wanted to address that I won’t be able to purchase clothes online anymore and have a shopping mall near me.
