Glasses, also known as eyeglasses or spectacles, are devices consisting of glass or hard plastic lenses mounted in a frame that holds them in front of a person's eyes, typically using a bridge over the nose and arms which rest over the ears.

Glasses are typically used for vision correction, such as with reading glasses and glasses used for nearsightedness.

Safety glasses provide eye protection against flying debris for construction workers or lab technicians; these glasses may have protection for the sides of the eyes as well as in the lenses.

Some types of safety glasses are used to protect against visible and near-visible light or radiation.

Glasses are worn for eye protection in some sports, such as squash.

Glasses wearers may use a strap to prevent the glasses from falling off during movement or sports.

Wearers of glasses that are used only part of the time may have the glasses attached to a cord that goes around their neck, to prevent the loss of the glasses.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) refers to protective clothing, helmets, goggles, or other garments or equipment designed to protect the wearer's body from injury or infection.

The hazards addressed by protective equipment include physical, electrical, heat, chemicals, biohazards, and airborne particulate matter.

Protective equipment may be worn for job-related occupational safety and health purposes, as well as for sports and other recreational activities.

"Protective clothing" is applied to traditional categories of clothing, and "protective gear" applies to items such as pads, guards, shields, or masks, and others.

A glove (Middle English from Old English glof) is a garment covering the whole hand.

Gloves have separate sheaths or openings for each finger and the thumb; if there is an opening but no (or a short) covering sheath for each finger they are called fingerless gloves.

Fingerless gloves having one large opening rather than individual openings for each finger are sometimes called gauntlets, though gauntlets are not necessarily fingerless.

Gloves which cover the entire hand or fist but do not have separate finger openings or sheaths are called mittens.

Mittens are warmer than other styles of gloves made of the same material because fingers maintain their warmth better when they are in contact with each other.

Reduced surface area reduces heat loss.

Clothing (also called clothes and attire) is fiber and textile material worn on the body.

The wearing of clothing is mostly restricted to human beings and is a feature of nearly all human societies.

The amount and type of clothing worn depends on body type, social, and geographic considerations.

Some clothing types can be gender-specific.

A uniform is a type of clothing worn by members of an organization while participating in that organization's activity.

Modern uniforms are most often worn by armed forces and paramilitary organizations such as police, emergency services, security guards, in some workplaces and schools and by inmates in prisons.

In some countries, some other officials also wear uniforms in their duties; such is the case of the Commissioned Corps of the United States Public Health Service or the French prefects.

For some public groups, such as police, it is illegal for non members to wear the uniform.

Other uniforms are trade dresses (such as the brown uniforms of UPS).
