'''Plain clothes''' (formerly called just '''clothes''') are a common piece of equipment in nearly every installment of the {{DQSeries}}. They are usually the least protective piece of equipment in the game. Even so, they are certainly better than wearing nothing and it does lessen the damage inflicted by the enemy, especially at the start of a game.
