Throughout history, a variety of outside influences and
internal preferences have motivated women across the globe
concerning their choices in clothing. While obvious factors,
such as protection and warmth are some of the reasons why a
woman puts on the attire she chooses in the morning,
[url=https://www.oxodm.com/women-wear/]Women Wear[/url] also
serves as a powerful way to express and communicate identity.
Below you will find some of the reasoning behind today's
clothing selections and fashion pertaining to women.
[b]Modesty[/b]
While the concept of modesty is different for each and every
place in time, over the years it has played an important role in
women's fashion. In various parts of the world and time
periods, it was frowned upon or forbidden for a woman to show
off her legs, shoulders, back, and cleavage. While the United
States no longer enforces strict social policies on women and
the clothes they wear, some cultures still uphold the aspect of
modesty in women's fashion. For instance, Muslim cultures
expect women to cover most of their body while in public. This
has created a wide-ranging market of lengthy and concealing
garments in cotton, wool, polyester, silk, rayon, and denim.
Common attire includes Hijab underscarves, long lycra gloves,
abayas (long cloak-like garments); and jilbabs (outer- and over
garments including long robes and coats).
[b]Status[/b]
[url=https://www.oxodm.com/women-wear/women-outerwear/]Women
Outerwear[/url] choices are also motivated by their status or
position within a social group, as some pieces call attention to
a specific affiliation. This is seen in the skirts worn by a
college tennis team or the elaborate robes worn by members of
African tribal royalty. In the United States, corporate
executives, lawyers, and other high-income career positions are
often identified by the type of clothes worn.
The questions of power, sexuality and gender being raised by men
’s fashion right now are far more interesting than whether guys
will actually wear skirts or off-the-shoulder shirts.
How much does fashion really impact our attire? As received
opinions run, [url=https://www.oxodm.com/men-wea/]Men Wear[/url]
doesn’t fluctuate all that much. Women’s wear is subject to
oscillating hemlines, vagaries of fit and flare, to ever-
perambulating erogenous areas. Shifts in men’s wear, we are
told, are tectonic, stately and slow: they mean something. They
’re allied with events like war and revolution. Think of the
Great Masculine Renunciation, the term coined by the
psychoanalyst John Carl Flügel to denote a general eschewing of
extravagance in male dress at the turn of the 19th century. It
was a revolution in cloth, a sartorial equivalent to the
upheavals recently wrought in the Americas and France. In
fashion terms, it swept away the restrictive layers of finery,
slicing off embroidery as Robespierre cleaved off aristocratic
heads, in favor of stripped-back tailoring in black and navy-
blue.
That’s the sort of heavyweight stuff that changes the
course of [url=https://www.oxodm.com/men-wea/mens-outwear/]Mens
Outwear[/url], we like to think, rather than the flimflam of the
biannual catwalk circus. The shows are, by and large, very much
like the courtly attire of the ancien régime, where tinkering
with outward trinkets of embellishment hid a lack of evolution
in cut. How dishonest. How dull. How wrong.
Today, however, a men’s wear revolution is being wrought on
the catwalk — admittedly, by relatively few. Many cling to the
accepted stock -characters of men’s wear, jiggling prints and
trims on stalwart but staid suiting, or sportswear basics barely
tweaked from their track- and- field origins. But there is an
influential new guard of designers who are questioning the
fundamentals: gender identity and sexuality, the roles and
position of the postmodern male.
