Summary/Abstract: It is unknown when the usage of clothes began in human history, however, it is likely that they utilized the skins of the animals they hunted as clothing in the beginning. Starting in prehistoric times, the clothing generation's culture, which was developed from the human desire to cover and the necessity to protect against natural events, has made its way down to the present day. Important artifacts that reflect the peculiarities of many eras, countries, communities, or individuals have also become one of the most vivid cultural documents. The first ancient artifacts in the Ancient Anatolian Civilizations provide information on the culture of art and apparel in the states created in Mesopotamia's geography. It includes information about prehistoric clothing, wall reliefs, cuneiform writings, inscriptions, tablets, and handicrafts made with stone carvings, as well as clothing. The clothes worn by the people shown on the wall reliefs teach us about different eras of attire. Archaeologists have been able to make judgments about people's clothing based on evidence found in the kurgans. With the division of society into classes, the differences between clothes have also increased, and these developments have been reflected in clothing as in every period of history. Although there is a very rich tradition of clothing generation, researches are insufficient. It is crucial to look into the clothing that has altered as a result of cultural changes.
