Atelier Attire is a type of clothing worn by artists and artisans while working in their studios. The term 'atelier attire' is derived from the French word atelier, which means 'WORKSHOP'. The most common type of atelier attire is a SMOCK, which is a loose-fitting garment that covers the body from the neck to the knees. Smocks are usually made of lightweight fabrics such as cotton or linen and are designed to protect the wearer's clothing from paint, clay, and other materials used in the studio.
