The term clothing consists of the names of individual clothing and garment classes, as well as the specialized vocabulary of the trade that has been designing, producing, marketing and selling clothing for hundreds of years.
The terminology of clothing ranges from mysterious language (watchet, pale blue name from the 16th century) to daily (t-shirt), and changes over time in response to fashion which in turn reflects social, artistic, and political trends.

Perseverance
Despite the constant introduction of new terms by fashion designers, clothing manufacturers, and marketers, the names for some basic garment classes in English are very stable over time. The clothes, skirts, skirts and suits were all proved back to the early medieval period.
Dress (from medieval Latin gunna ) is a basic clothing term for hundreds of years, referring to the clothes hanging from the shoulders. In the Middle Ages and Renaissance England dresses refers to loose outerwear worn by men and women, sometimes short, more frequent long ankles, with arms. In the 18th century dress has become a standard category term for women's clothing, a meaning that was maintained until the mid-20th century. Only in the last few decades has the dress lost this common meaning in favor of dress . Today the term dress is rare except in special cases: academic attire or hats and dresses , evening dresses, nightgowns, hospital gowns, etc. ( see Dress).
Clothes and skirts were originally the same word, the first was the south and the last was the northern pronunciation in early Central English.
Mantel remains the term for underwear, its significance for the last one thousand years ( see Coat).
New sources
The name for a new style or fashion in clothing is often a deliberate invention from a fashion designer or clothing manufacturer; these include Chanel's Little Black Dress (a term that has survived) and Lanvin's style of dealing style (which has not been). Another term is a more vague origin.
Personal name
Clothing styles are often named after people - often with military connections:
- The Jinnah Cap is a qaraqul feather cap named after the founder of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
- Jacket Garibaldi or Garibaldi is a bright red woolen outfit for women with black embroidery or braided and popular military detail in the 1860s; they were named after Italian revolutionary Giuseppe Garibaldi who visited England in 1863.
- Eisenhower's jacket or "Ike" jacket is a waist-high World War II military jacket. Called "Jacket, Field, Wool, M-1944", commissioned by General Dwight Eisenhower as a new field jacket for US forces in Northern Europe. The jacket was based on the British Army's 'Battle Dress' jacket of the same era.
- Cardigan is a knitted jacket or a buttoned front sweater made to keep the British army warm in the Russian winter. Named for James Brudenell, 7th Earl of Cardigan, who headed the Charge of the Light Brigade in the Crimean War (1854).
- The Mao jacket is a very plain (often gray), high-collared jacket worn by Mao Zedong and the Chinese during his regime. Its dull design and uniformity is a reaction to the differences of pre-Revolution class of clothing, with elites dressed in intricate silk, while poor workers wear very coarse clothes.
- Jacket Nehru is a jacket uniform with no collar or collar, popularized by Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first independent Prime Minister.
- The Bloomer Costume is a type of women's outfit introduced in the Antebellum period, which changes the style of the dress to a more stylish, designed style by Amelia Bloomer.
- The Wellington boot is a cavalry boot made by the Duke of Wellington, originally made of leather, but is now usually rubbery.
- The Stetson hat is named after the founder of John B. Stetson Company.
- The Mackintosh is a waterproof coat made of rubber, named after its discoverer Charles Macintosh.
- The Gandhi cap is a white sidecap made of khadi. It was popularized by Mahatma Gandhi during the Indian independence movement.
Place name
Another lush source for clothing terms is a place name, which usually reflects the origin (or origin) of a mode. Modern terms such as Bermuda shorts, Hawaiian shirts, and Fair Isle sweaters are the latest in long lines stretching back to holland (linen), damask ("from Damascus") , polonaise ("in Polish female mode"), basque , jersey (originally Jersey frock), Balaclava , Capri pants , mantua , and denim ("serge de NÃÆ'®mes" after the city).
The term costume historian
Costume historians, with a "backward" view, require a name for an unused (or required) style of clothing when the style is completely obsolete. For example, Van Dyke's collar is called from his appearance in a 17th century portrait by Anthony van Dyck, and the Watteau fold of the cloak ÃÆ'¡ la franÃÆ'§aise is called after their appearance in the portrait of Antoine Watteau.
Similarly, the term can be applied ahistorically to the entire clothing category, so that the corset is applied to a garment called fixed or a pair of bodies until the introduction of the word > corset at the end of the 18th century. And clothing is now applied to women's clothing consisting of corsets and skirts, although for most of its history clothing only means clothing, or clothing complete clothing with the appropriate accessories.
Short form
Important trends at the turn of the 21st century are short forms that are "funny": camisole into cami, sweater or hooded shirts into hoodies, and in 2005, short or " The "Cardigan" that shrinks is cardinal .
The much older term shimmy for "slip" is most likely a single fault of chemise.
