Question about this sentence :

> tシャツ **などの** 服を着たままプールに入らないでください。

Why do we need の? What is its use in the sentence given? Isn't など a particle
so it is ok to be followed by a noun?

I checked the Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar for の and I still do not
understand the use in this sentence. Pleasw help. Thank you.

question
translation particle-の nominalization particle-など
などの followed by a Noun
In this sentence, "の _no_ " is used to be more specific as to what kind of
"thing" is being said.

For instance, if we were to remove の服, the sentence would be

> **tシャツなど** を着たままプールに入らないでください。
>
> Please do not enter the pool with **things like T-shirts, etc.**

To avoid ambiguity, "の服 _no fuku_ " is added to specifically say that only
clothing is not allowed, and "tシャツなど _t shatsu nado_ " is added to give the
reader an idea about the kind of clothing that is not allowed, hence

> **tシャツなどの服** を着たままプールに入らないでください。
>
> Please do not enter the pool with **clothing such as T-shirts, etc.**
