The set of garments that are chosen to cover the body can be called clothing.
The first step we are going to undertake to thoroughly analyze the term clothing that concerns us now is to determine its etymological origin. Specifically, when doing so we will discover that it comes from Latin and more precisely from the word ropa , which can be translated as "clothing."
Clothing is the set of garments with which the body is covered. The term can be used synonymously with dress . For example: "I haven't yet chosen the wardrobe for tonight" , "Your mother always stands out for her elegant wardrobe" , "I don't think I have an appropriate wardrobe for this occasion" .
Costumes in stage performances
Another use of the concept is linked to the set of costumes used for a stage performance : «What I liked most about the play was the actors' costumes» , «The Argentine designer has been awarded on Broadway for the costumes of a successful play" , "I regret to inform you that tonight's performance will be canceled due to wardrobe problems" .
Within the field of theater or cinema, costumes become one of the most important areas when it comes to ensuring that the plot that is told and that the protagonists who interpret it are totally credible. But not only that. Throughout History there have been a series of characters who have basically made clothing their hallmark, what characterized them and made them unique.
The costumes of a stage performance are made up of the suits and costumes worn by the artists.
Some examples
Thus, a clear example of the latter can be certain superheroes such as Spiderman or Batman who differ from the rest precisely because of the suit they wear and even figures such as Charlote , who always wore his black bowler hat and his cane.
Because of the value that costumes have, in the different awards that are given, for example, within the cinematographic field, as would be the case of the Oscars or the Goya , there are those that are awarded precisely to professionals who have taken on the design the costumes for the different productions.
The costume can be a costume that contributes to the characterization of the characters , but also usual or everyday clothing . On television news, the costumes are made up of suits, jackets and ties, clothing that is also used on the street.
Likewise, within the military field, the term clothing is also used. In its case, it is used to refer to the entire set of uniforms that soldiers and other people who are part of any troop, division or platoon have.
Clothing in the sports field
In sports stadiums, sports fields, clubs or swimming pools, the locker room is the space intended for changing clothes : "The team has not yet left the locker room even though the referee is already on the field of play . " "I go to the locker room to put on my uniform and I'll come back," "Are you looking for Juan?" "He's in the locker room, changing."
By extension, the group of players that make up a sports team is usually known as the locker room: "The locker room is revolutionized with the arrival of the new coach," "The Portuguese has great experience and knows how to manage the locker room," "The leader was supported for the costumes and will continue to function .
