Articles of clothing worn on the body, like shirts, pants, dresses, or jackets.
From Old French 'garnement', from 'garnir' meaning to furnish or equip. The word originally meant any equipment or tool, but specialized to mean clothing that equips and covers the body.
Garments were once luxury items that only the wealthy could afford multiple sets of—most people had just one or two! Now the world produces over 80 billion garments annually, most of which end up in landfills.
