1. A fan device attachable to a garment body, the fan device comprising:
a fan;
a drive that rotates the fan;
a first switch and a second switch that are operable by a user to switch a drive status of the drive; and
a hardware processor that switches the drive status of the drive based on an operation of at least one of the first switch and the second switch by the user,
wherein:
when the first switch is operated, the hardware processor controls the drive to sequentially switch an air volume of the fan between plural air volumes corresponding to multiple modes each time the first switch is operated, and
when the second switch is operated, the hardware processor controls the drive to operate in a first mode in which the air volume of the fan is a first air volume which is larger than any of the plural air volumes that are switchable between by operation of the first switch, and after a predetermined period, the hardware processor controls the drive to operate in a second mode in which the air volume of the fan is a second air volume, the second air volume being a predetermined air volume which is smaller than the first air volume and which is different from the plural air volumes that are switchable between by operation of the first switch.
