The amount and type of clothing worn depends on gender, body type, social and geographical situation. Clothing is produced from a variety of natural materials such as silk, linen, agave, cotton, wool, leather or synthetic acrylic, artificial silk, bistor and others. It can serve as protection from the weather, rough surfaces, plants that cause rashes, insect bites, splinters, thorns and pricks, acting as a barrier between the skin and the environment.
