''' What is Clothing? '''

Clothing is a unique human innovation which is now virtually ubiquitous in societies around the world. Traditionally, debate about the origin of clothing has considered three main causes: modesty, adornment, and protection from cold. Recent argument has tended to become polarized between the arts and sciences: scientific evidence favours protection from cold, whereas an alternative view regards clothing necessarily as display, or dress. Dressing in the broad sense is an intrinsic aspect of human existence. If clothing is always dress, its origins cannot be purely pragmatic. The dispute stems in part from confusion about definitions, compounded in some instances by a philosophical scepticism about science. These issues are illustrated here by critically reviewing the works of Thomas Carlyle, Roland Barthes, and Michael Carter, whose seminal studies on clothing have been influential in the field of dress studies.

 Functions 

Functional clothing is considered to be one, which purpose is to satisfy the need for functionality and adaptivity to certain conditions. Previously, having such clothing was the privilege of the most active human activities: military industry, sports, technical workers etc. However, in our new reality, any borders are erased and now all these privileges are available to the ordinary urban user.

 Conclusion 

Overall, article is good but as per my perspective I guess definition and functions need some additions in it.
