apparels
What people wear
Apparels is the third-person singular verb form of apparel, meaning to clothe or dress: The queen apparels herself in silk.
The usage is archaic and literary—modern speakers would say "dresses" or "wears." As a plural noun, apparels refers to multiple types of clothing or garments, though apparel as an uncountable noun is far more common: The store sells athletic apparel.
