Choosing Outfits or what to wear

Factors to consider when choosing the right clothing for your content

Place 

Where does your content take place? At the beach? You need a swimming outfit. On the hill? Wear your comfortable shoes for hiking and a sun hat for your face. Event hall? Get your best dress, etc.
