- "Bekleidung"

Is "Bekleidung" only "the attire" when attached to "die?" I put "attire" for this, and it said it was wrong. Earlier, it said "Die Bekleidung" meant "the attire." Is that some weird grammar rule?
actually you need the definite article in singular to know which of the three genders in German a word has. "Bekleidung" is a quite general term, according to wiktionary "attire" is more "Kleidung": http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/attire
