The garments that have the least impact are definitely the thrifted ones, even if originally produced in the most polluting method possible. Used > new even if the new clothes were made from the most regeneratively grown cotton and stitched by well paid workers. Textiles contribute to 10% of global emissions, cotton is a very demanding crop and the production process itself can be quite nasty.

Not a smooth enough motion and… KABOOM
The em dash and bulleted points just scream LLM
Honestly not sure. You can buy fancy American grown cotton which I presume has slightly more stringent environmental regulations and fewer human rights violations involved in its production. Then there’s synthetics which have their own host of issues. I think you’re better off buying quality clothing that will last instead of fast fashion that you don’t keep for long.
