Armour Proficiency
Those who have trained to fight while wearing armour can use it effectively in combat. A creature may have Proficiency in 
Light Armour, 
Medium Armour, and/or 
Heavy Armour. Some Helmets, Gloves, and Boots also require Proficiency in a certain type of armour.
Wearing armour without Proficiency in that armour type will impose 
Disadvantage on all of your Ability Checks, Saving Throws, and Attack Rolls, and prevent you from casting Spells.
Each class, and some races, grant proficiency with specific types of armour. Some classes such as Sorcerer and Wizard grant no armour proficiency, and can only fight effectively while wearing Clothing if their race does not provide any proficiency.
Armour Proficiency is hierarchical. That means, to gain proficiency in Heavy Armour, you must first have proficiency in Medium Armour, and to gain proficiency in Medium Armour, you must first have proficiency in Light Armour.
