A feature of all modern human societies is the wearing of clothing or clothes, a category encompassing a wide variety of materials that cover the body. The primary purpose of clothing is functional, as a protection from the elements. Clothes also enhance safety during hazardous activities such as hunting and cooking by providing a barrier between the skin and the environment. Clothes incidentally also provide a hygienic barrier, keeping toxins away from the body and limiting the transmission of bacteria and viruses. Clothes also have important social and cultural functions. A uniform, for example, may identify civil authority figures, such as police and army personnel, or it may identify team or group or even political affiliations. In most societies, clothing is an aspect of norms of the society, in relation to standards of modesty, religious practices and social status. Clothing may also function as a form of adornment and an expression of personal taste or style. Throughout history, many materials have been used for clothes. Materials have ranged from leather and furs to weaved and woven materials, to elaborate and exotic natural and synthetic fabrics. 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 either clothing or accessories. Jewelry and eyeglasses are usually considered as accessories , even though in common speech these particular items are described as being worn rather than carried. Clothing probably originated in the neolithic age. Some recent scientific research estimates that humans have been wearing clothing for as long as 650,000 years. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License What is the best quality womens clothing you have bought ? Q. I am in the need of a whole new wardrobe. I just had a 2nd baby & my body has changed as well as my fashion sense. I need to buy good quality clothing at a reasonable price. I choose quality over quantity and am willing to pay a bit more. I like casual clothes- jeans & a nice fitting top, need new work clothes- a bit hip but still office appropriate, and love beautiful detailed skirts & tops. I like Bonds, Levis & Ladkh and would like to know what any one thinks of ESPRIT, Witchery, Cue, Jigsaw. I have seen them on the net & want to know if you think they are good quality labels? Can you reccomend any others? What about good shoes & accessories?

Answered by denah<3 - Wed Jan 10 10:03:07 2007 What clothing is worn by the british forces currently? Q. What is the name / type of clothing worn by british soldiers now (what is the current issue) - is it still soldier 95 or has that been updated now? I want to get hold of some Army issue clothing as I figure it is harder wearing and cheaper than normal walking gear. Sorry, further details. I mean the OG trousers (rarely seen these days) and the smocks and shirts etc - is it still soldier 95? Plus what are the standard issue combat boots? That's what I need to know. Asked by ritchiejay1977 - Sun May 18 12:53:14 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Issue SAS kit is good stuff I doubt it changed much since I wore it, In cold weather I used Patt.68 combats the best ever made you could probally still get them gavering dust at the back of some Army Surplus shop. Another option for you is US M65 kit well made and very hard wearing it comes in many flavours including black used by SWAT plenty on eBay. Forget Issue boots they are better I have been told but still poor, best hard wearing reasonably prices boots are Hi Tec Magnums full leather beat Danner hands down.
