A cabinet intended for clothing storage is usually called a wardrobe in English, or an armoire in French. In previous centuries, such a cabinet was also known as a linen-press. In British usage, a wardrobe occasionally was referred to as an oakley, because of the oak wood used in its construction. In India, a cabinet is often referred to as a almirah.
