2. The topic about clothes and costumes is really
important nowadays, because is interesting that you
know about what you are wearing in this moment.
Where it is from and which are the different styles
to dress in different parts of the world.
So, when early people realized they needed more
than their own hair and skin to protect them from
the weather, they looked around to see what was
available. People lived in a cold climate, saw animals
with skins that kept them warm. They hunted these
animals for food and used the fur to cover their
bodies, in the same way, in hot climates, clothing
provides protection from sunburn or wind damage,
and provides protection from harmful UV radiation.

4. THE INUIT PEOPLE
Since prehistoric times,
people have used fur and
animal skins to keep out
the cold. As an example
of costume we have the
INUIT PEOPLE from the
Artic, they often wear
traditional clothes made
from fur, sealskin that
is the skin of a seal or a
sea dog and also caribou
hide that is the skin of
a reindeer
7. SAAMI PEOPLE
In the same way
SAAMI PEOPLE
from Finland use
caribou hide to
provide their
leather goods.
To add, the
wool is also used
wherever the
weather is cold
because it is a
good warm fiber
to keep out the
rain.

spectacles but the main

around the face so only the eyes can be seen

21. As a conclusion in many societies, norms about
clothing reflect standards of modesty, religion,
gender, and social status. Clothing may also
function as a form of adornment and an
expression of personal taste or style
22. Finally, nowadays clothes are made from
different materials such as wool, natural
fibers, silk or cotton and many others
but it is not easy to know where people
come from by the clothes they wear
because as I told you in general nowadays
people only use a t-shit with a blue jean.
