undergarments
This term serves as a formal or clinical collective for clothing worn closest to the skin. It is more neutral and descriptive than "underwear," which is the standard everyday term, and more comprehensive than "lingerie," which typically implies a feminine or decorative context.
Because the word refers to a category of clothing, it is almost exclusively used in the plural form when referring to a set or a general collection of items. While a single item can technically be an undergarment, the plural "undergarments" is the dominant form in medical, retail, and formal descriptions.
