Kyafet

Kyafet is a transliteration variant of the Turkish noun kıyafet, meaning clothing or apparel. The form kyafet is typically seen in texts that omit Turkish diacritics or in informal transcription of Turkish words into non-Turkish alphabets. It is not standard Turkish spelling, but may appear in multilingual or casual contexts.

In Turkish, kıyafet is a general term that covers garments worn for everyday use and special occasions. The word is used in both spoken language and formal contexts, such as fashion journalism and discussions of dress codes. The plural form is kıyafetler; possessive forms include kıyafetim (my clothes) and kıyafetiniz (your clothes), among others.

Cultural and historical notes: Turkish standardized spelling has been in place since the adoption of the Latin alphabet in 1928, yet transliteration differences persist in non-Turkish publications and digital media. Clothing and dress hold cultural significance in Turkey, with regional styles influencing fabrics, colors, and garment types, and with fashion and etiquette evolving alongside social changes.
