Summary

Specialized clothing and accessories play various roles in many religious communities. Religious leaders wear liturgical vestments in order to be easily identified as a representative of God on earth. Ordinary practitioners wear religious clothing during ceremonies as a way to sanctify the body by sartorially orienting it to the divine. Other items are meant for everyday use to communicate religious identity, create a specific social space, or work to cultivate an individual’s character.
