This study examines the semantic features of clothing names in English and Uzbek from a comparative perspective. Within lexical semantics, clothing terms are viewed not only as nominative units but also as reflections of a nation’s historical experience, cultural values, and social life. The main objective is to identify similarities and differences in denotative and connotative meanings, nominative functions, and structural characteristics of clothing vocabulary in both languages. The research employs comparative, descriptive, semantic, and contextual analysis methods, with data selected from modern dictionaries, academic sources, and literary texts. The findings reveal that English clothing terminology is largely characterized by functional and stylistic distinctions, whereas Uzbek clothing names demonstrate stronger ethnocultural marking, historical symbolism, and close connections with national identity.
