The earliest garments were likely made from animal skins, which were wrapped around the body and tied in place with cords or straps. These garments provided protection from the elements and helped to keep wearers warm. As humans began to settle down and develop more advanced societies, they began to experiment with different materials for making clothing, such as plant fibers and wool. They also developed new techniques for constructing garments, such as weaving and sewing. By the Bronze Age, humans were wearing a wide variety of clothing, including dresses, skirts, pants, and tunics.
