Article of clothing

An article of clothing, comprising:

• a textile carrier material, which surrounds a body section of a wearer of the article of clothing,
• an adhesion layer is arranged on the carrier material at that side of the carrier material which faces the body section, which adhesion layer contacts a part of the body section during the intended use of the article of clothing,
• the textile carrier material without adhesion layer expands by a first elastic amount of expansion during application of a defined expansion force, and
• the textile carrier material with adhesion layer expands by a second elastic amount of expansion during application of the expansion force which is at least 65% of the first elastic amount of expansion,
• wherein the article of clothing is cut so as to attach with an elastic tension around the body section of the wearer of the article of clothing which body section is covered by the article of clothing and thereby the article of clothing is close-fitting to the skin of the wearer and creates a defined compression which ensures a pressing of the adhesion layer on the skin,
