Costume
Costume, the dress and clothing of humans and humanlikes, has changed through the millennia. Clothing indicates social class, profession, cultural and ethnic derivation, and the whims of fashion. Military persons and servants of the state also dress in distinctive costume to show their position and function. Wizards and priests since ancient time have worn special costume. Most cultures have separate clothing for men and women, and often for children.
