Obergewändern

Obergewändern is a term that can refer to several things, primarily in the context of clothing and fashion. Broadly, it translates from German as "outer garments" or "upper garments." This encompasses a wide range of clothing items worn on the upper body, often as the outermost layer in a wardrobe.

In historical and costume contexts, Obergewändern specifically denotes garments worn over other clothing. This could include coats, jackets, vests, or capes, particularly those that were decorative or served as a sign of status. The term might be used when discussing historical dress or traditional attire where layering was common.

In a more contemporary fashion sense, Obergewändern can be used to describe any type of top wear that is not an undergarment. This includes T-shirts, blouses, sweaters, and more formal tops. The emphasis is on the garment being visible and worn on the upper torso. The specific type of Obergewand would depend on the prevailing fashion trends, the occasion, and the individual's style.
