clothing


Cloth are used for covering of human body. cloth's stuff can be change according to weather and we can also changed cloth style according to any country's culture.The amount and type of clothing worn depends on functional considerations and social considerations. In some situations the minimum amount of clothing  may be socially acceptable, while in others much more clothing is expected.
Functionality is the primary purpose of clothing. It can serve as a protector from the elements. Clothes also enhance safety during hazardous activities such as hiking and cooking,by providing a barrier between the skin and the environment.
Clothing performs a range of social and cultural functions, such as individual, occupational and sexual differentiation, and social status.A uniform, for example, may identify civil authority figures, such as police and military personnel, or it may identify team, group or political affiliations. School uniforms are is another example of a function of a clothing. It distinguishes where a student goes to school and also limits individuality for control purposes.Clothing may also function as a form of adornment and an expression of personal taste or style.
Clothing can and has in history been made from a very wide variety of materials. Materials  have ranged from leather and furs, to woven materials, to elaborate and exotic natural and synthetic fabrics.
Not all body coverings are regarded as clothing. Articles carried rather than worn (such as purses), worn on a single part of the body and easily removed (scarves), worn purely for adornment (jewelry), or those that serve a function other than protection (eyeglasses), are normally considered accessories rather than clothing, as are footwear and hats.

FUNCTIONS OF CLOTH

There are four primary factors in clothing comfort,Such as (1) fashion; (2) feel; (3) fit; and (4) function. One of the primary purposes of clothing is to keep the wearer comfortable. In hot climates, clothing provides protection from sunburn or wind damage, while in cold climates its thermal insulation properties are generally more important. Shelter usually reduces the functional need for clothing. For example, coats,hats,gloves.shoes,socks and other superficial layers are normally removed when entering a warm home, particularly if one is residing or sleeping there. Similarly, clothing has seasonal and regional aspects, so that thinner materials and fewer layers of clothing are generally worn in warmer seasons and regions than in colder ones.
Clothing protects people against many things that might injure the uncovered human body. Clothes act as protection from the elements, including rain, snow and wind and other weather conditions, as well as from the sun. However, if your clothes is too sheer, thin, small, tight, etc., the protection effect is minimized. Clothes also reduce the level of risk during activity, such as work or sport.Meanwhile, the distinction between clothing and protective equipment is not always clear-cut, since clothes designed to be fashionable often have protective value and clothes designed for function often consider fashion in their design.
