Clothes naturally weaken over time. Frequent friction, stretching, or snagging on surfaces can cause small holes, especially in well-worn garments.
2. Caught on Objects
Belts, zippers, bra hooks, or even rough surfaces like brick or stone can easily create holes in your clothing. If holes appear near your stomach, a belt buckle may be the culprit. Adjusting belt placement or smoothing sharp edges can help reduce damage.
3. Washing Machine Damage
Overloading your washer or washing clothes with beads, buttons, or other embellishments without turning them inside out can lead to holes. Always follow garment care instructions and consider using mesh laundry bags for delicate items.
4. Moths and Pests
Though less common than other causes, moths can still damage natural fibers like wool and silk. If you suspect pests, inspect your closets, wash affected clothing, and consider moth repellents.
