At this moment in time no concrete answer exists to this question, however based on the research of 2 different groups into genetic analysis of human body lice, it is believed humans started wearing clothes either 100,000 years ago (roughly matching the date humans are believed to have started migrating from Africa) or 550,000 years ago.
The reasoning behind studying human body lice to deduce when humans started wearing clothes is that, unlike fleas, lice have very week legs and require the presence of hair to latch onto, in order to be able to stay on the body. In the absence of hair, human body lice would need to stay on clothes to be close to the human body.
At some point in history humans gradually lost their body hair and started wearing clothes instead, and by studying the genetic history of the body lice, scientists hope to be able to find a point where they stopped latching on to body hair and started resting on clothes to stay near the human body, thus indicating when people started to wear clothes.

What clothes do popular people wear?
I do not agree about people wearing dresses and tuxedos to a regular day of school, only to things such as prom. Which is a once a year type of thing. Unlike the other answer I would consider Just paying attention to what they wear at your school. If you start to wear the same brands of clothes they do, then in no time you'll be just like them! :) so really, just pay attention.
