About ClotheWear

ClotheWear is an independent encyclopedia about clothing. We explain what clothes are made of, how they should fit, how to look after them and where the way we dress comes from.

What we cover

• Fabrics: natural, synthetic and semi-synthetic fibres, how they behave and how to choose between them.
• Clothing care: washing, drying, storing and repairing garments so they last.
• Garments: the types, cuts and terms used for jeans, shirts and other everyday clothing.
• Fit and sizing: how to measure yourself and how clothes should sit on the body.
• Style guides: wardrobe planning and dress codes explained without jargon.
• Fashion history: the stories behind denim, suits and other staples.

How we work

Every guide on ClotheWear is written to be accurate, practical and easy to read. We do not use affiliate links, we do not accept payment to feature products, and we do not publish sponsored content. Our aim is to give you knowledge you can use, whether you are choosing fabric, reading a care label or working out what a dress code means. You can read the full details in our editorial policy.

Who writes ClotheWear

Articles are published under the ClotheWear Editorial name. This is our editorial team, which researches, writes, edits and updates each guide. When standards or facts change, we revise the article and update the date shown on the page.
