1. clothing

   Clothing denotes the entire covering of the body, taken as a whole; clothes and garments view it as composed of separate parts. Clothes, clothing, and garments may be used of inner or outer covering; all the other words in the list (with possible rare exceptions in the case of raiment) refer to the outer garments. Array, raiment, and vesture are archaic or poetic; so, too, is habit, except in technical use to denote a lady's riding-dress. The word vestments is now rare, except in ecclesiastical use. Apparel and attire are most frequently used of somewhat complete and elegant outer clothing, tho Shakespeare speaks of "poor and mean attire." Dress may be used, specifically, for a woman's gown, and in that sense may be either rich or shabby; but in the general sense it denotes outer clothing which is meant to be elegant, complete, and appropriate to some social or public occasion; as, full dress, court dress, evening dress, etc. Dress has now largely displaced apparel and attire. Garb denotes the clothing characteristic of some class, profession, or the like; as, the garb of a priest. Costume is chiefly used for that which befits an assumed character; as, a theatrical costume; we sometimes speak of a national costume, etc.

How to use clothing in a sentence?

1. Photographer Irina Werning:

   Each picture is like a completely different world. I work on lots of pictures at the same time. Sometimes you don't find something, so you have to end up making everything. Of course, you can't find some exact clothing or object exactly like in the picture. Often, I have to make it or alter something that I buy. Lots of challenges, but this is the part I most enjoy.

2. Russell Ford:

   I thought he might inadvertently kill me, he was trying to attack me and remove my clothing.

3. Jenny Bruso:

   Partnerships [like this] allow us to redefine and reimagine the outdoors through products that amplify the importance of inclusivity in sizing and representation, the right gear and clothing are also a safety issue within outdoor adventures and we need to see ourselves represented in the marketing to even know these things exist to be purchased.

4. Samuel Mensah:

   Before long, people were trying to place orders with me, offering money with a request that I purchase clothing for them during my next visit to a particular African city.

5. Courtney Hartman:

   All of the clothes that you see, they would make you think that boys are nothing more than sporty little aggressive troublemakers, and I've never seen my son reflected in those clothing options.
