Characteristic clothes, also known as GARB, are items of clothing that are associated with a particular culture, profession, or activity. GARB is often used to identify members of a certain group or to signify a person's status or rank. For example, a judge may wear a robe to signify their position in the court system, or a chef may wear a white hat and apron to signify their profession. GARB can also be used to express one's personal style or identity, such as wearing a kilt to show one's Scottish heritage.
