[[Image:DQVIII_Plain_Clothes.png|border|right|230px]]

'''Plain clothes''' (or just '''clothes''') are a common piece of equipment in every installment of the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' franchise. Made of thick cloth and secured only with a blue belt, they don't really offer much protection. Even so, it's better than nothing and it does lessen the damage inflicted by the enemy a little bit. Plain clothes can be commonly found in the dressers of villagers' homes in practically every game.
