Clothing

Just like houses, clothes are also important for us. Clothes help us to protect ourselves
from cold, heat, rain, dust and insects. We wear different types of clothes on various
occasions and in different seasons. For example, we wear bright and colourful clothes

to go to a function, and we wear a uniform when we go to school.

Seasonal Clothes

We wear different clothes depending on the weather conditions that differ from place
to place.

y In summer, we like to wear loose, comfortable and sweat absorbing clothes, generally
made of cotton, to stay cool.

y In winter, we wear clothes made of wool or fur to stay warm.

y During rains, we wear raincoat, and use umbrellas and gumboots to stay protected.
