Because you don't wash them in a good way lol
Or because you have the worst clothes ever.
When you wash clothes look for the instructions at which temperature you need to wash them. If you can put them in a drier...
Dont let clothes dry in a dryer machine, only let them a bit, then let them dry on a drying rack or whatever it's called. Careful with clothes which aren't rated to go into the drier, use low temperature, and never let them a long time if you put them in a dryer machine.
If they seem chemical, or have a bad smell, check if the washing machine washes well, or use another program to wash them more, or a short program to wash them again, only with water.
Maybe try another detergent, or put less of it.
Also, if as other comments said, if you use a softener, try without.
And importantly, clean your washing machine. The residue from the detergent and the grime will slowly build up, so it's important to at least every few months run a cleaning cycle (95ยฐC or whatever the self-cleaning cycle of your machine is) with an actual machine cleaner and no clothes.
Before that cycle, manually clean some parts like the detergent fill-in area and the door. Some of the remaining dirt will be washed off by the cleaning cycle then.
