A GUIDE TO THE MANY TYPES OF CLOTHES

With fashion being a trillion dollar industry, it’s no real surprise that there are
many different types of clothing manufactured within it. And with this comes
the many variations, each designed to suit a variety of body types and fashion
styles, so it’s no wonder that we as individuals find it hard to narrow down the
items of clothing that are best suited for our own personal style.

Clothing – also referred to as clothes, apparel or garments – are wearable items


made from fabric and other materials that are worn on the human body.
Clothing ‘types’ can be based on setting:
 Business attire – worn for work purposes
 Casual wear – worn as standard clothing
 Formal wear – worn for events such as weddings
 Lingerie – undergarments worn for support and / or decoration
 Sports wear – worn for athletic activities like running

And clothing ‘types’ based on gender and age:


 Baby clothes – worn by babies and toddlers
 Childrens wear – worn by children aged from 2 upwards
 Menswear – typically worn by those who identify as men
 Womenswear – typically worn by those who identify as women

Different Types Of Garments


As I mentioned, there are also variations within each garment type, so let’s
break it down further with some descriptions and photos.
Bloomers
Bloomers are an undergarment worn on the lower part of the body. They
usually have an elasticated waist, and are finished with lace on the hem of each
leg.
Blouse

A blouse is an upper body garment, found in womenswear. Similar to a shirt,


the blouse can be:
 Long sleeved
 Short sleeved
 Sleeveless
They are often made from a more lightweight fabric than their ‘shirt’
counterparts, and often have more interesting details, such as lace collars,
gathering, pleats, pin tucks and more.
Bodysuit

A one-piece garment for the upper part of the body, a bodysuit is really just a
leotard with a snap opening under the legs. They are best made from stretch
fabrics for a more comfortable fit.
