Abstract:
Clothes are necessary for several reasons: they are required by law in many areas of the world, serve as a way to identify certain cultures and traditions, set societal norms and standards and provide protection from the elements, such as wind, cold, rain and strong sunlight. Clothing has been used by humans for thousands of years, and comes in a variety of forms. Clothing has evolved throughout the course of history to include more fabrics, styles and designs and helps to shape the identities of individuals and societies around the world.
