Types of Clothing

Clothing (also known as clothes and attire) is fiber and textile material worn on the body. The amount and type of clothing worn depends on body type, social, and geographic considerations. Some clothing can be gender-specific.

A fashion accessory is an item used to contribute, in a secondary manner, to the wearer’s outfit, often used to complete an outfit and chosen to specifically complement the wearer’s look.
