innerwear
Clothing worn beneath
Innerwear is clothing worn next to the skin, beneath outer garments—underwear, undershirts, bras, and similar items.
The term appears mainly in retail and fashion contexts, particularly in South Asian English: The store has a large innerwear section.
In American and British usage, underwear or undergarments is more common.
