Alien Clothing

What do aliens from outer space wear?

Alien clothing is clothes worn by aliens.  What do we mean by this?  Here is a hint: you really should be thinking about apparel that is out of this world.

Something that is "alien" is something not familiar or like other things you have known.  It is different from what you are used to.  Sort of like what goth fashion or punk fashion would be to yuppies from the 1980's.  Goth fashion would be so alien to a yuppie, it would be challenging for them to fully comprehend the sub-culture.  However, just because a silly looking yuppie could not understand the concept, it does not mean that goth, punk, or alternative fashion does not exist.

Our term about alien clothing is regarding clothing worn by extraterrestial beings.

Extraterrestrial life is life that does not originate from Earth. It is also called alien life (space alien).

Extraterrestrial species do not all wear clothing, but some do.

An inteligent creature from outerspace may wear apparel that is approrpriate for it's sorroundings.  On extremely hot planets, they potentially wear wicking fabrics or other sorts of high performance fabrications that go far beyond wicking.  Thermal barrier fabrics are also popular.  Reflective Thermal Barrier Fabric can be used in day or evening on certain planets (or seasonally if they have seasons).  Many of the alien fabrics can be utlized either indoors and outdoors on planets or space craft.  Some special fabrics are made of a weaved, super tough high density polyethylene plastic that’s coated with a thin, highly reflective metalized surface.  This helps restrict the natural flow of heat radiating inside when it’s warm.  Others have liquid cooling and ventilation properties within the fabric.  Shielding against particle radiation, ultaviolet radiation, micrometeroids, ray guns, etc., is important to some aliens but not so critical for others.  The garments selected by many species is clearly relevant to their modesty level, evolutionary development, and level of intelligence.

When humans travel into space, we typically wear some sort of space suit.  A space suit is a garment worn to keep a human alive in the harsh environment of outer space, vacuum and temperature extremes. Space suits are often worn inside spacecraft as a safety precaution in case of loss of cabin pressure, and are necessary for extravehicular activity (EVA), work done outside spacecraft.  We have various soft suits, hard shell suits, hybrid suits, high altitude suits, bio-suits, etc.  You may want to learn about space suits in our definitions section.

Obviously, not all aliens would require space suits for the reasons that we humans would require them.  Space evolution has provided various species with different needs and requirements for interstellar living and travel.

What clothing should be worn in space?  Do we have any alien clothing examples?

We have located a few examples of clothing worn by extraterrestials, but we do not yet have clearance to publish photographs.

If you are curious regarding some of the favorite space fashion trends, we have heard that they enjoy minion yellow.

The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915, to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. On October 1, 1958, the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

The International Space Station is a unique place – a convergence of science, technology and human innovation that demonstrates new technologies and makes research breakthroughs not possible on Earth. It is a microgravity laboratory in which an international crew of six people live and work while traveling at a speed of five miles per second, orbiting Earth every 90 minutes. The station facilitates the growth of a robust commercial market in low-Earth orbit, operating as a national laboratory for scientific research and facilitating the development of U.S. commercial cargo and commercial crew space transportation capabilities.

This alien clothing term is NOT about the following:

1. Alien Movie: This is not regarding the clothing worn in the movie.  Alien is a 1979 science-fiction horror film directed by Ridley Scott, and starring Tom Skerritt, Sigourney Weaver, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, John Hurt, Ian Holm and Yaphet Kotto. The film's title refers to a highly aggressive extraterrestrial creature that stalks and kills the crew of a spaceship.  In this movie the Xenomorph was not wearing clothing (unless you concider the clothes it was wearing while it was inside a humans body).
   
2. Aliens from another country: Owing political allegiance to another country or government; foreign: alien residents.  An unnaturalized foreign resident of a country. Also called noncitizen.
