Although the infamous Jack Sparrow wore clothing acquired from many adventures, he told Will Turner he had a nice hat.

"You know, these clothes do not flatter you at all. It should be a dress or nothing. I happen to have no dress in my cabin."
―Jack Sparrow to Elizabeth Swann[src]

Clothing (also known as clothes, dress, or attire) referred to any item or material objects fashioned to be worn on the body. The wearing of clothing was mostly restricted to human beings and was a feature of all societies. The amount and type of clothing worn depended on gender, body type, social factors, and geographic considerations. Garments covered the body, footwear covered the feet, gloves cover the hands, while hats and headgear cover the head, and underwear covered the private parts. Clothing serves many purposes, mostly to serve as protection from the elements by providing a barrier between the skin and the environment as well as can insulate against cold or hot conditions. Fashioned with pockets, belts, or loops, clothing may provide a means to carry things while freeing the hands. Clothing also may be used to communicate social status, wealth, group identity, and individualism. A mode of dress fit to purpose, whether stylistic or functional, is known as an outfit or ensemble.

During the Golden Age of Piracy, the clothing worn by pirates included kerchiefs around their heads, swords at their sides, and bandoliers across their shoulders.[1]
