Photo of a zipper
A zip is a device that keeps your clothes closed. It is made from two strips of tiny teeth and a slider that meshes the teeth together when you zip it up and unmeshes them when you unzip it.
Zips are found on many, many kinds of clothing. Before zippers were so popular, people used buttons to keep clothes closed.
