Clothing refers to any covering for the human body that is worn. The
wearing of clothing is exclusively a human characteristic and is a
feature of nearly all human societies. The amount and type of clothing
worn depends on functional considerations and social considerations. In
some situations the minimum amount of clothing (such as covering of a
person's genitals) may be socially acceptable, while in others much more
clothing is expected. Clothing can serve as protection from the elements.
Clothes can also enhance safety during hazardous activities such as
hiking and cooking, by providing a barrier between the skin and the
environment. Further, clothes can provide a hygienic barrier, keeping
toxins away from the body and limiting the transmission of
germs. 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. n many societies, norms about clothing reflect
standards of modesty, religion, gender, and social status. 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.
It can be said that there are four primary factors in clothing comfort,
identifiable as the '4 Fs of Comfort' 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
clothing 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. Clothing at times is worn as protection from
specific environmental hazards, such as insects, noxious chemicals,
weapons, and contact with abrasive substances. Conversely, clothing may
protect the environment from the clothing wearer, as with doctors
wearing medical scrubs.
