What is the name of a garment that is like a carpet and covers the body?

The correct answer is a poncho. A poncho is a type of clothing characterized by its simple design, usually made from a single piece of fabric that is draped over the body with an opening for the head. It is often associated with traditional and indigenous cultures and can indeed resemble a carpet in terms of texture and elaborate patterns. Its loose fit allows it to be worn comfortably and can be crafted from various materials, making it versatile for different climates.

In contrast, a kimono is a traditional Japanese garment with distinct sleeves and typically has a more tailored appearance. A cape is a sleeveless outer garment that drapes over the shoulders and provides less coverage than a poncho, as it does not envelop the body. A shawl is a piece of fabric worn over the shoulders, often lighter and primarily used for warmth or decoration, rather than fully covering the body.
