               CLOTHING

               Clothing is one of our basic needs. Clothes are of great importance as
                   •  It covers our body
                   •  Protects us from harsh weather conditions and insect bites.
                   •  It adds beauty to a person.

               Different weathers and seasons require different items of clothing.
               Summer season: We should wear light cotton clothes to stay cool and comfortable in the
               hot season.
               Winter season: To keep ourselves warm and protect ourselves from cold we should wear
               woollen clothes.
               Monsoon: To keep ourselves dry during rain, we should wear waterproof clothes like
               raincoat, gumboots, etc. and carry umbrella.
               Clothes according to Activities and Occasions
               Our clothing style depends on the work or activity we do or on the occasions.
               Uniform: Children wear uniform when they go to school and elders wear uniform to their
               work.
               Casuals: We wear casual clothes at home or while playing. At bedtime, we wear loose
               comfortable clothes.
               Fancy clothes: We wear fancy clothes at parties or weddings.
