Clothing (also called clothes, accoutrements, accouterments, or habiliments) protects the human
body from extreme weather and other features of the environment. It is worn for safety,
comfort, modesty and to reflect religious, cultural and social meaning.It may have so many
kinds,such as T-shirt,coat,jacket(the famous brandname is north face jackets),skirt,ect.
The practical function of clothing is to protect the human body from dangers in the
environment: weather (strong sunlight, extreme heat or cold, and precipitation, for example),
insects, noxious chemicals, weapons, and contact with abrasive substances, and other hazards.
Clothing can protect against many things that might injure the naked human body. In some cases,
clothing protects the environment from the clothing wearer as well (example: medical scrubs).
Humans have shown extreme inventiveness in devising clothing solutions to practical problems
and the distinction between clothing and other protective equipment is not always clear-cut;
examples include space suit, air conditioned clothing, armor, diving suit, swimsuit, bee-
keeper's costume, motorcycle leathers, high-visibility clothing, and protective clothing.
People also decorate their bodies with makeup or cosmetics, scented perfume, and other
ornamentation; they also cut, dye, and arrange the hair on their heads, faces, and bodies (see
hairstyle), and sometimes also mark their skin (by tattoos, scarifications, and piercings). All
these decorations may contribute to the overall effect and message of clothing, but do not
constitute clothing.
Articles carried rather than worn (such as purses, canes, and umbrellas) are normally
considered fashion accessories rather than clothing, but hats and small dress sweaters can be
called clothing or accessories.[citation needed] Jewelry and eyeglasses are usually considered
as accessories as well,[citation needed] even though in common speech these particular items
are described as being worn rather than carried.
Historically, there have been many societies where partial or complete nudity was the cultural
norm. In the modern world, most cultures find it socially unacceptable to walk around in public
without clothes.
