Changes: Clothing

Revision as of 16:04, 22 December 2018

Clothing refers to the variety of items worn by beings for various reasons, such as protection from environmental factors, personal comfort, modesty and safety or for cultural and religious meanings.

Clothing is often heavily influenced by cultural factors and comes in a great variety of styles, ranging from plain and practical to elaborate and artistic designs.

Many groups and organizations developed a specific type of clothing for their members to wear to signify their affiliation with this group, this is referred to as a uniform. Some uniforms featured identical clothing for all who wore it, others featured rules and guidelines to maintain uniformity while allowing some variation.
