This paper aims to show that the set of garments used in a particular historical period does not make up a system identical to the one occurring in natural languages. This will be done after considering the basic concepts linguistic sign, linguistic unit, linguistic articulation and linguistic systems. Despite the fact that both language and fashion are related to a process of change, garments are unable to become articulated within a set in relation to resources of the same nature. Besides, garments cannot make up organizational levéis equivalent to the levels of minimal units —phonemes—, formal units —forms articulated paradigmatically— and functional units —phrases. Only in an analogical manner and in a broad semiological sense can one speak of the «language» of fashion.
