General Apparel Facets
Facet Group | Facet Values | Description |
---|---|---|
Activewear Type | The Activewear subcategory and its child subsets are defined relatively generically. This Facet Group helps provide more granular classification for the type of activewear products we annotate. | |
Base layer | Base layer clothing is the layer worn closest to the skin and should act as a "second skin" throughout the wearer's day. Base layers are intended to provide warmth and comfort when being active outdoors on a cold day. Common activities that often require base layers are skiing and mountaineering. | |
Capri pants | Capri pants are close-fitting calf-length tapered trousers, usually worn by women and girls. Products should be classified to this Facet when they are made of common activewear materials, such as spandex or wicking and cooling fabric. | |
Compression socks | Compression socks are right-fitting socks, designed to increase blood and lymphatic flow to the foot and leg, said to improve performance and shorten recovery time for athletes. | |
Hats | Activewear hats are designed to be worn during physical activity to shade the head and shoulders from the sun. They are often lightweight and wicking. | |
Hoodies | Activewear hoodies are worn as an outer layer and feature a hood attached at the neckline. They're often made of lightweight material that optimizes for warmth without weghing the wearer down. | |
Jackets | Activewear jackets are worn as an outer layer and feature a front opening, so wearers put them on around the arms rather than over the head. The majority of activewear jackets feature a zipper closure and are often made of lightweight material that optimizes for warmth without weghing the wearer down. | |
Leggings | Leggings are tight-fitting stretch pants, worn for warmth and/or comfort while exercising. | |
Micro socks | Micro socks are no show socks that use materials that are durable and allow for comfort in working out. They may have mesh sections for comfort. | |
Pants | Activewear pants are ankle-length trousers worn while exercising. Material and weight may vary based on the intended use/activity, but products may be classified to this Facet when explicitly mentioned that they are intended for exercise. | |
Polo Shirts | Polo shirts are a form of shirt with a collar, a placket neckline (meaning it is open and closed by overlapping layers of fabric), with two or three buttons, and may or may not have a pocket. Polo shirts are usually short-sleeved but occasionally may have long sleeves. Activewear polos are often made of wicking and cooling material. | |
Running socks | Socks intended to be worn while running. Running socks range from thin liners with very little padding to those with thick cushioning in the heel and ball of the foot. | |
Shirts | Activewear shirts are tops worn while exercising. Material, weight, and sleeve length may vary based on the intended use/activity, but products may be classified to this Facet when explicitly mentioned that they are intended for exercise. | |
Shorts | Activewear shorts are bottoms that fall at or around the knees for men, but are often shorter for women. Material is usually lighter and wicking, given that those looking for warmth would generally prefer pants. | |
Skirts | Activewear skirts are garments fastened around the waist and hanging down around the legs, generally worn by women and girls. Unlike pants, they do not have separate segments of the garment for each leg. | |
Skorts | Activewear skorts are shorts with a flap across the front (and sometimes also the back) to give the appearance of a skirt. Material is often lightweight and wicking. | |
Sports bras | Sports bras provide support to a woman's breasts during physical exercise. Sturdier than typical bras, they minimize breast movement and alleviate discomfort. Some sports bras are designed to be worn as outerwear during exercise, such as jogging. | |
Sweat shorts | Sweat shorts are made of the same soft, comfortable material as sweatpants, but are cut to the length of shorts, rather than falling to the ankles. | |
Tank tops | Tank tops are sleeveless, close-fitting tops. Tank tops should be classified as activewear when made of lightweight, wicking material. | |
Track suits | Track suits are a loose, warm set of clothes consisting of a sweatshirt or light jacket and pants with an elastic drawstring waist, worn when exercising or as casual wear. | |
T-shirts | T-shirts are short-sleeved casual shirts, generally made of cotton, having the shape of a T when spread out flat. T-shirts should be classified as activewear when made of lightweight, wicking material. | |
Adaptive Feature | Adaptive clothing uses different features (such as Velcro closures and magnetic buttons) to make dressing easier, while still having the outward appearance of typical clothing. | |
Adjustable Pant Hem | Pant hem is adjustable, meaning you can change the length of the pants from ankle-length to cropped (to the calf, knee, etc.) | |
Easy Open Neckline | Easy open necklines feature magnetic and hook-and-loop fasteners, hidden at the shoulders, and make getting tops on and off less complicated. | |
Extended Zipper Pull | Extended string attached to zipper to allow wearers with limited dexterity to zip and unzip more easily. | |
Flattened seams | Seams of fabric are flattened to reduce irritation and catching. | |
Hook & Loop Closure | Hook and loop fasteners (also known as velcro) consist of two fabric straps, which are attached to opposing surfaces to be fastened. The first component features tiny hooks, the second features smaller loops. Fastened by pressing together, unfastened by pulling apart. | |
Magnetic Buttons | Magnets replace traditional buttons where clothing is fastened (wasit, collar, etc.) | |
Magnetic Skirt Closure | Skirt features magnetic closure, rather than buttons or zipper. | |
One-Handed Zipper | Zipper designed to be able to use with one hand. Magnetic at the base so initial attachment of two sides can be done with ease. | |
Seated Wear | Clothing adapted for comfort and flexibility when seated. Shorter front rise to reduce fabric bunching and higher back rise for comfort and coverage when seated. | |
Seated Wear Back Opening | Clothing (tops) adapted for comfort and flexibility when seated. Hook and loop fasteners run down the center back of tops so the top is easier to get on and off. | |

Lace | Lace is a fine open fabric, typically one of cotton or silk, made by looping, twisting, or knitting thread into patterns and used especially for trimming garments. | |
Piping | Piping is a thin cord covered in fabric, used to decorate clothing or soft furnishings and reinforce seams. | |
