Hello Guys,
Well,I was so heated to know 'why our society identify people's age, sex, attitude, importance, occupation,Education,economic or marital status and etc simply by looking on things they wear?
So, corresponding to that, I had to do some little research on the particular subject.I came to realise there was Fashion and style Language since back then.The language that many societies in the world from most primitive to more sophisticated,use it on clothing and ornaments to communicate social and personal Information.But How? their facial expression or body gestures in general can tell it all.
However, its occasionally uncool cause you can sometimes mistakenly about kind of people they are.For example Mlalahoi(Poor Person) can wear the only suit he got in a certain function and people may thought the person worth million bucks while he got nothing and likewise.This will automatically convey a wrong impression to that person however the conveyed information about the person can be false or true respectively.
Nowadays,I find this too intimidating because you can see people wear most designers expensive stuffs like Gucci,Prada,Couture,Versace,Chanel and the list goes on, just for showing off while if you investigate their real life they don't even have life really.I got bothered and asking myself that why trying so hard to hide our identity or originality or characteristics on what we pretend to wear.I know fashion reflect our personalities not by Lies but by being real.You know what,Personally what I call fashion is What You Can Afford and Style is by how you work your wardrobe.
Anyway, As said above The language of fashion was there since the ancient days and applied to all societies in the world.Hence, I will go through Tradition messages on clothing communicated since then However there some others seem to change to both men and women.But by 20's century it was as follows.
1:MASCULINITY-Trousers,Ties,Brad shoulder and etc
2: FEMININITY-Skirts,Low necklines, Defined waists and delicate fabrics
3:SEXUAL MATURITY-High Heels, Tight clothing, Transparent or shiny fabrics
