It is difficult to find a standard for clothing classification. The least controversial classification is by gender, which can be divided into three categories: men's clothing, women's clothing, children's clothing, and unisex clothing. In the clothing industry, people in the industry usually do not categorize them this way, but are divided into: knitting and woven. Knitted garments are produced at a faster speed and lower difficulty than woven garments, so the price will be cheaper. Although China is rich in human resources, it is human resources that account for an important proportion of clothing production costs. Usually a worker adds a machine to knitting garments, and if the workers are skilled, they can produce hundreds of pieces a day. Of course, it also depends on the complexity of the garment. In addition, another important factor that determines the cost of clothing is the accessories on the clothing. Accessories would increase the cost, and more importantly, they need to pay labor costs. Accessories are usually assembled by hand, which not only has a long production period, but also increases the number of substandard products. There are many types of clothing. Due to the different basic forms, varieties, uses, production methods, and raw materials of clothing, various types of clothing also exhibit different styles and characteristics, which are varied and very rich. Different classification methods lead us to different titles of clothing. There are roughly the following classification methods. 1. Classification according to the basic shape of clothing. According to the basic shape and model structure of clothing, it can be classified into three types: body shape, style and hybrid.

1. Body shape Body shape clothing is clothing that conforms to the shape and structure of the human body, which originated in the frigid zone. The general wearing form of this type of clothing is divided into two parts: top and bottom. The top suit conforms to the shape of the human body's bust, neck, and arms; the bottom suit conforms to the shape of the waist, hips, and legs, mainly in pants and skirts. The cutting and sewing are more rigorous, paying attention to the contour shape and main effect of the clothing. Such as suits are mostly body shape.

2. Style Style style clothing is a style of clothing originated from tropical regions by covering the human body with clothing in a loose, stretched form. This kind of clothing is not limited to the shape of the human body, it is more free and random, and the cutting and sewing process is mainly based on simple plane effects.

3. The clothing with mixed structure is a comprehensive and mixed form of frigid body shape and tropical style, and has the characteristics of both. The tailoring adopts a simple plane structure, but the human body is the center, and the basic shape is rectangular, such as Chinese cheongsam, Japanese kimono, etc.
