Clothes are the fabrics we wear to cover and protect our body. They protect us from
heat, cold, rain and dust. Clothes also protect us from the insect bites. Clothes also
elaborate our looks and style. Come, let's read about them in detail!

Clothes We Wear

Clothes are necessary for us. We wear them because:
Clothes keep us warm and protect our body from outside sources.
Clothing is also seen as important for the presentational purposes they have.
Clothing allows us to differentiate what roles a figure has in a society (police,
firefighters, etc.).
They are also good for appearance and individual expression.
Clothing allows us to enhance our attractiveness and allows us to look a certain way
that we want to be seen as (classy, casual, stylish, edgy, laid-back, etc).
Clothes also protect us from cold. Woollen clothes keep our body warm in winters.
We use raincoats and gumboots to keep our body dry in rainy season.
