This paper presents a comparative linguocultural analysis of clothing terms in English and Uzbek languages, focusing on their similarities and differences. The research explores how the thematic group of clothing reflects cultural, social, and historical backgrounds in both languages. Through a detailed examination of lexical-semantic fields, borrowings, and idiomatic expressions, it identifies common universal concepts and culture-specific nuances in the terminology. The findings demonstrate that while both languages share certain generic terms due to globalization and intercultural exchanges, Uzbek language preserves a unique set of traditional terms rooted in its national heritage. This analysis contributes to cross-cultural understanding and lexicological studies by highlighting linguistic patterns and cultural characteristics associated with clothing in English and Uzbek.
