A feature of all modern human societies is the wearing of clothing, a category encompassing a wide variety of materials that cover the body. The primary purpose of clothing is functional, as a protection from the elements. Clothes also enhance safety during hazardous activities such as hiking and cooking, by providing a barrier between the skin and the environment. Further, clothes provide a hygienic barrier, keeping toxins away from the body and limiting the transmission of germs.

Clothing performs important social and cultural functions. A uniform, for example, may identify civil authority figures, such as police and military personnel, or it may identify team, group or political affiliations. In many societies, norms about clothing reflect standards of modesty, religion, gender, and social status. Clothing may also function as a form of adornment and an expression of personal taste or style.

Throughout history, many materials have been used for clothes. Materials have ranged from leather and furs, to weaved and woven materials, to elaborate and exotic natural and synthetic fabrics. Recent scientific research estimates that humans have been wearing clothing for as long as 650,000 years. Others claim that clothing probably did not originate until the Neolithic Age (the "New Stone Age").

Articles carried rather than worn (such as purses), worn on a single part of the body and easily removed (scarves), worn purely for adornment (jewellery), or those that serve a function other than protection (eyeglasses), are normally considered accessories rather than clothing.

What clothing is worn by the british forces currently?
Q. What is the name / type of clothing worn by british soldiers now (what is the current issue) - is it still soldier 95 or has that been updated now? I want to get hold of some Army issue clothing as I figure it is harder wearing and cheaper than normal walking gear. Sorry, further details. I mean the OG trousers (rarely seen these days) and the smocks and shirts etc - is it still soldier 95? Plus what are the standard issue combat boots? That's what I need to know.

A. Issue SAS kit is good stuff I doubt it changed much since I wore it, In cold weather I used Patt.68 combats the best ever made you could probally still get them gavering dust at the back of some Army Surplus shop. Another option for you is US M65 kit well made and very hard wearing it comes in many flavours including black used by SWAT plenty on eBay. Forget Issue boots they are better I have been told but still poor, best hard wearing reasonably prices boots are Hi Tec Magnums full leather beat Danner hands down.

Clothing is material used to cover parts of the human body for protection against the environment, for comfort and body modesty, and as personal decoration ("fashion"), often reflecting religious, cultural, and social customs. Clothes are individual articles of clothing (although the term is always used in plural form).
