Gameplay:
- One player starts by placing a clothing item in the center and naming it aloud, for example "T-shirt."
- The next player must quickly put down a clothing item that matches either the category or color of the previous one, such as a "red T-shirt" or a "striped T-shirt."
- If clothing items cannot be verbally described, this can be done using a card or symbol to show the category.
