The three main types of clothing—casual wear ¹, formal wear ², and activewear ³—serve different purposes and reflect various aspects of our lifestyles. Casual wear is all about comfort and versatility, formal wear offers elegance and professionalism, while activewear combines functionality and style.

Garments can be classified in many ways, including by fabric type (woven, knit, or non-woven), intended body position (top or bottom), season, purpose, manufacturing method, material source, gender/age, style, and length.
