Ive heard much debate about this.
Are there any real studies to go read?
Personally i make sure my undies, socks, T’s and hats are natural fibres. But for my pants and sweaters I tolerate blended fibres like 60/40 wool/polyester.
After the first wash or two I fail to see how the synthetic fibres cause much harm.
I would ask the inverse question: are there studies proving synthetic clothing is non-toxic?
Our ancestors usef natural material only clothing for millennia.
Fair. And agree.
I use that logic with food constantly.
For me personally I enjoy a blend of old and new. Anything against my skin must be mostly pure. Outerwear I see a benefit from a lighter and sometimes waterproof garments (coats, pants, boots etc).
Just a quick search, I didn't read these:

Going to read through this. Thanks.
We are breathing microplastics in. Although it is probably not good to be wearing them, but come on. The modern world is toxic.
I don’t disagree with you.
Just discussing a sane way to go about it without…. Breaking the bank. And going to extreme lengths
I hear you. I mostly wear wool and cotton except for pants I spend a lot of time in the rain and natural pants never dry. Plus I spent two hours today huffing in chainsaw fumes. So I think all this stuff is relative.
