What is a "garment"?

A garment is an item of clothing that is worn on the body, typically consisting of fabric or other material that covers or drapes over the body. Garments can vary in style, length, and shape depending on the culture, occasion, or personal preference. They can be designed for a specific purpose, such as workwear, sportswear, or formal wear, or they can be more casual and suitable for everyday wear. Garments can be made from various materials, such as cotton, silk, wool, or synthetic fibers, and they can be embellished with decorative elements like buttons, zippers, or embroidery. Proper care and maintenance of garments, including washing and storage, can help prolong their lifespan and preserve their appearance.
