Painter's wear is a term used to describe the clothing worn by painters while they are working. The most common type of painter's wear 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 splatters. They often have pockets for storing brushes and other painting supplies. Smocks are also popular among artists who work with other mediums such as clay or charcoal.
