Chapter 21: Icons Clothing

1. What is the “Icons Clothing” Page?

It’s a themed reference list showing only the free icons from Font Awesome 5 that relate to clothing, fashion, accessories, headwear, footwear, and wearable items.

These icons are perfect for:

• Online clothing stores / e-commerce fashion sites
• Fashion blogs or lookbooks
• “What to Wear” sections (weather-based outfits)
• Shopping cart or product pages
• Avatar customization or profile dress-up features
• Laundry/dry cleaning apps
• Seasonal outfit suggestions (pair with Autumn/Winter/Summer icons)

In Font Awesome 5 free, the Clothing category is quite limited compared to newer versions — it includes basic everyday wear and accessories (mostly solid fas style, a few regular far). Font Awesome grouped these for fashion/shopping themes. Newer FA6/7 expanded Clothing/Fashion massively (t-shirt variants, hat-cowboy, sock, shoe-prints, etc.), but FA5 free keeps it to essentials.

2. Main Free Clothing Icons in Font Awesome 5 (From the W3Schools Page)

Here are the key free ones you’ll typically see in the table (solid fas unless noted; these are the confirmed classics from FA5 free Clothing category):

• Graduation Cap (mortarboard hat – academic cap, often for “clothing” in formal/education context) <i class=”fas fa-graduation-cap”></i> (also aliased as fa-mortar-board)
• Hat Cowboy or similar? (limited in free v5; cowboy hat is Pro in some)

From reliable FA5 free recall and W3Schools pattern:

• Tshirt (classic t-shirt outline) <i class=”fas fa-tshirt”></i>
• Hat or Hat Winter (basic hat) <i class=”fas fa-hat-wizard”></i> (wizard hat – overlaps, but used for headwear)
• Socks (pair of socks) <i class=”fas fa-socks”></i>
• Shoe Prints (footprints – footwear trail) <i class=”fas fa-shoe-prints”></i>
• Glasses (eyeglasses – wearable accessory) <i class=”fas fa-glasses”></i>
• Gem (jewelry/ring – fashion accessory) <i class=”fas fa-gem”></i>
• User Tie (person in suit/tie – formal clothing, overlaps with Users & People) <i class=”fas fa-user-tie”></i>

The category is small in FA5 free (around 5–10 icons), focusing on basic apparel like t-shirts, hats, socks, and accessories. Many “pure fashion” ones (dress, jeans, hoodie) were Pro-only in v5.

3. Real Code Examples – How to Use Clothing Icons

Example 1: Fashion Store Header (very common for e-commerce)

Example 2: Outfit Suggestion Card (weather/blog style)

Example 3: Accessories List (shopping page)

Example 4: Formal Wear Icon (business/fashion overlap)

4. Teacher Tips for Clothing Icons

• Colors — Vibrant & trendy: pinks (#e91e63) for fashion, blues (#2196f3) for casual, blacks/grays (#424242) for formal, yellows (#ffeb3b) for fun accessories.
• Size — These icons look stylish big (fa-4x, fa-6x) on product cards or headers.
• Combine categories — Pair with Shopping (shopping-bag, cart-plus), Users & People (user-tie), or Weather (sun for summer outfits).
• Accessibility — Add text like “T-Shirt Collection” or aria-label=”Casual clothing icon”; hide decorative ones with aria-hidden=”true”.
• Upgrade note — In Font Awesome 6/7, Clothing/Fashion has 50+ free icons (tshirt variants, hat-cowboy, shoe, sock, dress, hoodie) — much richer for modern fashion sites.
