Clothing is called out because it’s environmental footprint is often estimated as being surprisingly high, and there is a certain pattern of consumption that encourages buying tons of extremely cheap clothes and wearing them only once. For the first point, well, it might be an over estimate, or focused on environmental harms that are imo less important (landfill waste vs carbon footprint). But I’m not sure, I’ve read and forgotten a few of the articles, they were popular a year or two back. For the second point, everyone loves beating up on the imaginary 18 year old girl who buys on shein every day, but I don’t really know how many of those people exist. Some? Probably not that many?
