Clothing in Baldur's Gate 3 is a wearable equipment that grants characters conditional passives to use different Spells in Combat, but it does not provide additional defenses or stat bonuses to the playable character, in the same manner as armor pieces do. Clothing pieces follow a fixed Armour Class stat, which has a base of 10 + the character's Dexterity Modifier. Clothing is worn "underneath" an armor and it has its own dedicated slot in a character's loadout.

Baldur's Gate 3 Guide: How to Obtain Clothing
Clothing are item pieces that can be obtained by buying them from vendors, receiving them as a reward for completing quests of helping NPCs, or looting them from defeating NPCs in a battle. Each of the clothing pieces in Baldur's Gate 3 are obtained differently and you can find the table that lists How to Obtain Clothing in Baldur's Gate 3 here.
How to Use Clothing in BG3?
Clothing can be equipped by going to your party's inventory by pressing the [I] button on the keyboard. Once worn, the character will gain conditional passives, or the ability to use Spells in combat. Many of these clothing also grant other passives that go into effect once the condition is met. Clothing is especially useful for characters who normally do not have access to Spells unless they're wearing special equipment.
There are also common pieces of clothing that do not provide any effects, such as the starting clothing for Barbarian, Monk, or Wild Magic Sorcerer. Other classes also benefit from gameplay where the characters do not wear armor. Since Clothing is not categorized as an armor piece, wearing clothing will not disable this feature. For example, Unarmoured Movement will not be disabled by wearing clothing.
Best Clothing in Baldur's Gate 3
All Clothing pieces have a baseline of Armor Class of 10 + Dexterity Modifier. The Armor Class, or commonly referred to as simply AC, determines what protects a Character from any attack that uses an Attack Roll, Spells included.
