It hangs in your wardrobe and has holes for your body to go through.
Answer and explanation (spoiler!)
The answer is a shirt.
A shirt has a neck (the collar opening), two arms (the sleeves) and a body, but no head and no hands. The riddle describes the parts of a person, and a shirt is shaped to fit exactly those parts.
The fun is that “neck” and “arms” sound like parts of a living thing, so many people first guess an animal or a statue.
