Apparel starts from Latin word “apparare”, meaning to “prepare, make ready,” or ad-particulare, meaning “to put things together.” In the mid 13th century it evolved into a verb meaning “to equip.” It wasn’t until the next century that people began to use apparel as both a verb meaning “to attire” and as a noun meaning garments or clothing. Said 17th century British writer Thomas Fuller, “Apparel shapes” but it’s money that finishes the man.”
The definition of apparel is the material you wear to protect, wrap or beautify your body is known as apparel or clothing. In ancient days the majority of clothing was prepared animal hides and weaving together various fibers to create unique clothes.
Apparel is just another word for what you wear. Apparel comes from the meaning “to wear” so it includes clothing items, jewellery items, cosmetic items, hat, sun glass, watch, bracelet, wallet, shoes and socks and accessories to wear to protect and beauty our body. These are all called apparel. So, all the clothing are apparel, but all the apparels need not to be a cloth.
