5. Gowns:
The final on the list is gowns. Not that party wear staple, but the sleeping ones. This is super-comfy for both parents and baby. Why? The sleeper gowns have an opening at the end. Hence, a parent can change the diapers without waking the baby up.
It is comfortable for a baby because of the material used in manufacturing, and the design allows his/her legs to move freely. Here are the different types of sleeper gowns available for kids:

D) Sleeveless

Conclusion:
Aside from these types of clothes, there are also regional and seasonal. The clothing style changes as per the geographical and weather conditions over there. For example, you don’t wear a sundress in winter without adding a layer above or beneath.
Now, you know about the different types of clothes available in the market. The clothing category is wide and endless. You can sort it in many ways, however, we went with the basic ones. I hope this article helped you in learning about different types of clothing!
