What is the best "climate change" clothing?
We shouldn't accept climate change as inevitable or stop trying to effect change. That said, what sort of clothing is out there which might help as we feel more negative effects?
The main thing I'm thinking about is dealing with heat, but I guess part of the question involves a little forecasting about the types of challenges people will face in the future.

I think one of the questions we need to ask ourselves, more than what to wear, is the sustainability of clothing manufacturing.
What companies make clothes in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way?
My go to has been Patagonia. They do a lot to help with sustainability, the pay better wages than most manufactures, and their reuse/recycle programs are great.
I’ll admit, their products can be expensive so it might not be an option for everyone. However, every piece I own has lasts for years and is very high quality.
Seconding Patagonia. Also thrifting/reusing and repairing old clothes.
Patagonia also sells second hand clothes for those who are looking for that brand specifically.
Patagonia also has a 'used' shop: https://wornwear.patagonia.com/
I've had Patagonia perform repairs for me before as well. Takes a while to get the stuff back but the repairs are top notch.
