Theses are tips from our Orientation Center:

Avatar Minimums

Avatar minimums are things your avatar cannot do without. A standard avatar must have one shape, one skin, one set of hair and one set of eyes at all times (PG avatars like those on the teen grid may additionally have underwear as an avatar minimum). They cannot be removed, but you can replace them by putting another one on. Having one of each of these is not a major limitation, as they are all highly adjustable. You can be bald by wearing a set of hair that has the length and volume dialed all the way down to zero, which makes it appear that you have no hair, but you're still wearing a set. Think of it like a 'bald wig'.

You can try to remove one of these, but the system won't let you. You can wear another one in it's place, however. We'll talk about that in a moment.

Clothing Layers

An avatar has a number of what are called clothing layers. Each piece of clothing is designed to fit into one specific layer, and only one piece of clothing can occupy a layer at a time. You'll hear some residents refer to clothing layers as clothing slots. Just a small variation in terms, and nothing to worry about.

The clothing layers are: Shirt, Pants, Shoes, Socks, Jacket, Gloves, Undershirt, Underpants and Skirt.

Putting a new item on in one layer takes off any item that is already worn in that layer. You can only wear one skirt at a time, one pair of socks, one jacket, and so on.

Likewise you can remove all your clothing. This is not advisable in PG areas or on other people's land without their permission. When you add or remove clothing, or change an item, there will be a short delay before the change becomes properly visible to everyone else. The process is called Texture Baking, the details of which are primarily of interest to the technically inclined.

How to do it

Open up your Inventory, by either clicking on the Inventory button (bottom of the screen on the right) or by pressing CONTROL I. Locate the item you want to wear. Right click on it, and select WEAR from the context menu that pops up. The item will appear on your avatar, replacing any other item already in the same clothing layer.
