Types of clothing

Types of clothing

In the modern world there is a huge amount of clothing for all occasions. Enough also classifications. For example, things can be conditionally divided into everyday and specialized, possessing some specificity. The first group includes home clothes. She usually has a loose fit, the main focus is on convenience and simplicity, but the decorations are either missing or minimal. There are no restrictions on the material or color range.

Casual - this is also clothing for performing tasks common to humans. That is, office, pleasure (often in the style of casual) and so on. At the same time, corporate kits with embroidered or pasted logos, in the corporate colors will be more likely to be specialized.

But in general, the second group is represented by sports, uniform, festive (evening dresses, for example), spectacular, which is required for actors to embody images of characters, clothes. And these varieties have their own subspecies. For example, uniform, like many others, is divided into winter, summer and demi-season.

Other classifications

There are other classifications. For example, one of the oldest is the division into masculine and feminine, although with the appearance of the unisex style, this gradation became largely arbitrary. Or on clothes for adults, teenagers and children.

If you delve into the classification by purpose, then you can recall the different protective kits, working overalls, things for special climatic zones. And that is not all.

Thanks to fashion, some oppose the usual brand clothes. Yes, and the latter is divided into the one that is produced in large quantities, and the one that is created either in limited collections, or even in single copies. Do not forget about women's clothing for pregnant women, which stands alone. Or about ethnicity.

Division by style

In the ocean, all sorts of classifications can be easily drowned. Especially if you remember that this list is also updated with things related to different styles. Boho, grunge, gothic, punk, hippie, rocker, military, casual, underground ... And keep in mind that many designers now love to experiment at the joints! So covering all types of clothes is a real challenge. Therefore, it is better to understand at least the basic concepts.

Outerwear

Presented in the form of jackets, coats, sheepskin, fur coats, raincoats. There are also parks, bombers, leather jackets, but they can already be considered as types of jackets. All outerwear belongs to the shoulder type, in addition, it is always worn over other things: dresses, suits, overalls, jeans and sweaters, sweaters and so on. For both girls and guys, the basic models are the same here. Differences - in cut, jewelry, recognizable silhouette.

But if we talk about classifications and definitions, then it should be noted that raincoats are an easy subspecies of a coat without insulation. But fur coats ... Yes, this is again a coat, only made of fur, natural or artificial. There are different length options: shortened, knee-high and maxi. Coats are single and double-breasted, with a smell, with hidden clasps, with several rows of buttons, lapels, a hood, and so on. By the way, come across samples with additional elements.

As for the jackets, then the variety of options is breathtaking. Windbreakers, leather jackets, bombers, with a detachable lining and without it at all, with fur, both natural and artificial ... Recently, transformers have become popular. For example, if you detach from some variants of the sleeves, you get a stylish vest.

What are the patterns of knitted things

But we go further in different categories.We should dwell on knitted clothes, firstly, it is now in fashion again, and secondly, because it is here that various misunderstandings occur most often. For example, many people know that there is a jacket and a cardigan, but not everyone is able to say exactly what these names mean, how one concept differs from another. The situation is aggravated by the fact that historically both varieties were called a sweater.

But nowadays a cardigan is a knitted garment with a front zipper on top and down to the bottom with buttons. This option can be long and short, with pockets and without, with a belt and without. And all this will be a cardigan. But the jacket is now called similar clothes, but fastened with a zipper.

Another product from everyday (and not only) life, which we often come across, but which we incorrectly call. This is ... Sweater. What is wrong here? A sweater can be called a thing of wool only with a stand-up collar. If the latter is not, then we are talking about some other clothes.

Pullover and jumper are very similar to each other. They both belong to knitted things without fasteners, but the first one has a V-shaped collar, and the second one has a round one. It's simple.

Of course, this list of knitted products does not end there. There are especially women, for example, a dress or a bolero. Or a handkerchief. By the way, he is back in fashion.

The most common mistakes

In general, talking about different clothes can be a lot. Shirts and trousers, dresses, skirts, suits and much more have their own variations. And in order not to get lost in the abundance of information, let us dwell on the fact that it is often heard, but with which there are various misunderstandings. It means that people mistakenly use the names of such clothes, not always realizing that they belong to them. Or what is all about.

For example, a sweatshirt. This is a type of sweater made from knitwear. Most often available with a round neckline (classic version), but sometimes with a V-shaped. It features long sleeves and a loose fit. It belongs to the unisex category. Can be with pockets (two or one large, in the center), as well as with a hood.

Hoodie is a lot like a sweatshirt. It differs from it in the center of the clasp and more aggressive performance, which is associated with the history of the appearance of this type of clothing. Not to be confused with anorak jacket, which is very popular among tourists, to be more precise, among climbers.

There are still things that can only be female. Of course, this is not about bras. It:

  1. Bolero. Shortened jacket, usually ends immediately under the chest. It happens with buttons or without.
  2. Jacket (not to be confused with a vest). Short version of the jacket, the length of the sleeves may be different.
  3. Blouse. It differs from the shirt with thinner fabrics, there are translucent options that are worn in the kit.

Slang names

Speaking about different types of clothing, you can not get past the names that are often found in everyday life, but rarely used by professionals. Nevertheless, it’s worth it to deal with their meaning.

A striking example is top. This is a very vague concept, so professionals do not like to use it. But most often it is called the top women's clothing, usually elegant, with short sleeves or without them at all.

hoody - in fact, almost the same as a sweatshirt, but under this name it is often understood also to be hoodie. The word itself is most often used in the CIS.

Raglan - clothes where the sleeve is one with the shoulder. In fact, we are not talking about a separate type of things. This is a certain cut of the sleeves, which can be found in T-shirts and other clothes.

When summarizing it is worth noting that there is enough confusion with concepts. The fashion world is constantly evolving, bold experiments of designers lead to the emergence of new types of clothing. And in order to understand what exactly stylists advise us to wear, you need to figure out what they are actually talking about.
