Question

How can I draw all those things without the body?

Draw the figure (not the head unless you're doing a hat) along with whatever clothing or accessories you want to include, then erase the lines you drew for the figure. This allows you to draw clothing in specific poses if desired.
Question

How do I draw jeans?

Draw them like normal pants but add the coloring and pockets of jeans in the details to make them look more like jeans.
Question

How do I draw a t-shirt

Draw a square/rectangle (if you choose a rectangle, make it a vertical one). Next, add sleeves. If you need help drawing the sleeves, just add a rectangle on each side of the figure.
Question

I'm trying to draw wrinkles in clothing but I don't know how, have you got any tips?

Look at pictures of real-life people wearing clothing, and try and incorporate the wrinkles into your own drawing. Some good wrinkle places are around the backs of the knees, the ankles, the hips, the armpits, the neck, and the ends of the sleeves.

To draw casual clothing, start by drawing the outline of a simplified character with a circle on its head for a cap. Then, join the left and right edges of the circle with a straight line, and extend the line into a slanted box for the cap's sun shade. Next, draw a straight line across the character's waist, along with a triangle in the collar region for a v-neck shirt and curved strokes near the elbows for the folded sleeves. After that, make straight lines down from the waist line, then join them at the bottom to make pant legs to complete the outfit.
