## Clothing-type filters and color selection

When you select a clothing category, you see a panel similar to that shown in the following image:

![Clothing selection panel](/files/uCyQdI7L8jya7wYQQndQ)

The icons along the top edge of the panel are clothing-type filters. If you select a filter, only clothing items that match that filter are displayed. The active filter is highlighted. To clear the active filter, select the icon again.

{% hint style="info" %}
Some filters may not display any matching items of clothing. If this happens, select a different filter or select the same filter again to clear it. Lite users have access to a limited selection of clothing. To access the full range of clothing, create a PLUS, EDUCATION, or ENTERPRISE subscription.
{% endhint %}

After you select an item of clothing, select a square in the color palette to apply that color to the clothing.
