Garments cover nakedness for the Laodiceans (Revelation 3:18). The only other place in the book where garments and nakedness are mentioned together is 16:15, where Jesus warns that He is coming like a thief and will surprise the sleeping and those who are found naked.
The Laodiceans buy garments in preparation for the Lord’s Advent. If they purchase garments, and keep their pants on, they will not be ashamed when Jesus comes like a thief.
