the history of the fashion

 July 17th, 2010 › News › mysite ›

You will be amazed as you read how different events in history have an effect on how people dressed during those times. For instance, during World War II people were only allowed to use the minimum amount of clothing materials needed to create simple outfits that were practical enough for wartime duties.

Additionally, sometimes changes in political power have affected how people dressed during different times. For example, high ideals were presented from the White House while Ronald Reagan was president in the 1980s.

The overall message that was conveyed during the 1980s was the ideal that you could become as successful as you believe to be. Therefore, during this era in history many people “dressed for success”. A large number of men and women wore suits and office clothing that would help them move up the corporate ladder.

Present-day fashion for men is still fairly conservative. Usually a dark-colored two-or three piece suit is usually worn with a white collared shirt and a tie.

Some fashions are classic, meaning that they stand the test of time and may never “go out of style”. However, other clothing items are just “fads”, meaning that they are only in style for a short season and then no one seems to want to wear those certain clothing items any more.

Sometimes the popularity of a particular outfit or accessory depends upon the tastes of a particular group of people. For instance, one “clique” (tight-knit circle of friends) during the 1980s may have been into wearing ripped jeans with a leather jacket while others preferred to dress in casual slacks and a button-down shirt.
From the 1920s to the 1940s a variety of different styles of necklaces were made to cover the neckline. For instance, one necklace was designed with rows of semi-precious and/or precious stones (clear diamond like ones). These stones were set on pieces of different types of gold.

Other types of necklaces that were created during this 20-year time span include a necklace made from glass beads and enamel. These were strung on molded plated nickel, or lustred metals.

Large gaudy bracelets made out of a variety of hard plastics and faux gems. Metal ethnic-themed thick bracelets were often worn during this time as well, along with dangly, shiny earrings.

During the 1920s to the 1940s a variety of different types of hats were created, such as cloches and turbans. Wider-brimmed hats that covered over part of the face sometimes were worn as well.

Jewelry in the 1950s was modeling after similar trends as earlier decades. However, necklaces became thinner, often containing a strand of pearls, and sometimes accompanied matching earring designs.

A new shift in jewelry fashion had occurred again during the 1960s and the 1970s. Multiple strands of “love beads” were worn, as well as country-style female “farmer-style” straw (or straw like) hats.
