Besides, the loser of this debate has to run up and down the streets wearing a traffic cone on his/her head screaming, "I love turnips!"
Re: question catherine: Clothing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Humans nearly universally wear articles of clothing (also known as dress, garments, attire, or apparel) on the body. In its broadest sense, clothing is defined as coverings for the torso and limbs as well as coverings for the hands (gloves), feet (socks, shoes, sandals, boots) and head (hats, caps). For the alternative, see nudity.
Articles carried rather than worn (such as purses, canes, and umbrellas) are normally counted as accessories rather than as clothing. Jewelry and eyeglasses are usually counted as accessories as well, even though in common speech these items are described as worn rather than carried.
Humans also decorate their bodies with makeup or cosmetics, perfume, and other ornamentation; they also cut, dye, and arrange the hair of their heads, faces, and bodies (see hairstyle), and sometimes also mark their skin (by tattoos, scarifications, and piercings). All these decorations contribute to the overall effect and message of clothing, but do not constitute clothing per se.
People wear clothing for functional as well as for social reasons. Clothing protects the body from the extremes of weather and other features of our environment. But every article of clothing also carries a cultural and social meaning.

Re: question alonewith2: Do I have to believe everything read in an encyclopedia?!!! (please say no!!)
I like lifesgood's answer. That's how I view it, too! If you are wearing a winter hat outside in the winter...then it's an article of clothing. If you are wearing a ball cap while playing baseball, then it's an article of clothing. If you are bald and are wearing a hat to keep your bald spot warm or protected from the sun, then it's an article of clothing........but for any other reason, it's an accessory!!
...oh, lifesgood, you crack me up....old at the age of 24?!!!! ::)
