If one page of this glossary describes what the world actually wears, it is this one. The jacket is the most adaptable tailored garment ever devised — shortened, softened, waterproofed, padded and reissued in leather, denim and technical cloth without losing its identity. Jeans began as riveted work trousers and became the default lower garment on several continents; jeggings are their stretch-driven descendant, leggings pulled toward denim's look. The jersey, jumper and jumpsuit each collapse dressing into fewer decisions: one knit top, one tunic over a layer, one piece head to ankle. International Standard Business Attire, listed here, is the formal end of the same modern uniform — the suit-and-tie code that lets strangers in different countries read each other's intentions at a meeting.
The kilt, kimono and kurta are not costumes; they are living dress with rules. A kilt's tartan, pleating and accessories identify clan, regiment or simply careful dressing. A kimono's layers, sash and seasonal motifs encode occasion and status in cloth. A kurta's length, collar and embroidery shift with region and celebration. Khakis tell a migration story in the other direction — military uniform trousers that became civilian casualwear worldwide, their dust color naming the cloth itself.
Function returns at the edges of the page: the life jacket and life vest are clothing whose only job is to keep a wearer afloat, the jockstrap and leotard serve sport and dance, and long underwear quietly underpins cold-weather dressing. Lingerie and the little black dress close the L terms with two kinds of design intelligence — one private and close-fitting, the other the most famous exercise in versatility in fashion, a single black dress styled up or down for almost any occasion.
