Abstract
The article aims to identify semantic peculiarities of the English, German and Russian phraseological units with the components nominating accessories, clothing and footwear items. Originality of the study involves systematization of the English, German and Russian phraseological units with this component, which allowed identifying peculiarities of their semantic structure. The analysis of stable expressions with the mentioned component revealed coincidence of the thematic groups “human character”, “human relations”, “human emotions”, “image, prestige, status” in the English, German and Russian phraseology that indicates anthropocentric nature of the phraseological units under study. It is shown that in the analysed languages, phraseological units with the component “clothes” often have a pejorative connotative meaning.
