  • Made by humans using chemicals.
  • Examples: Nylon, Polyester, and Rayon (used for durable and waterproof clothes).
  • Fibers are twisted into threads or yarns.
  • Yarns are woven or knitted to make fabrics.
  • Weather-specific clothes: Woolens for winter, cotton for summer, and raincoats for the rainy season.
  • Special-purpose clothes: Uniforms for schools or jobs, and traditional dresses for festivals.
