what to do with unwanted clothes

1. can anyone help me with like... cutting down on clothes? i've been trying to do this for a long time now but just am taking so long to take action cause i'm having a hard time thinking about the outcome of the action. i really just want like much fewer clothes, but i don't want to just give them all to a place like goodwill cause i heard that goodwill sells a lot of their clothes to developing nations and then the local economy of that developing nation is disrupted, and that's not good.
2. [7:11 AM]i basically have collected all the 100% cotton and 100% linen clothing items from my closet and i was just going to give them away, because my thinking is that i don't have to have as much control over those cause even if they end up in the trash or owned by people who aren't conscientious with their clothing's impact on the environment, it'll be okay because the material won't like leech microplastics during washing and it'll biodegrade if it gets into the ecosystem.
3. [7:12 AM]my thinking was that it makes more sense for me to keep the clothes that have synthetic materials because i plan to be more conscientious with them (using a guppyfriend to wash, etc). does this make sense to everyone, am i missing anything? i also have like way more clothes than i want though still. is there a good and responsible way to get rid of these clothes with synthetic materials? and same with shoes?
4. [7:13 AM]the goal is to minimize but i'm trying to be responsible about it- i don't just want to give it all away in bulk with no regard for the impact of that decision
5. [7:13 AM]i've tried to read articles about it but i get overwhelmed so i thought it might be easier to just speak to people person to person.
