Men's fashion
Men's clothes have change a lot. In the sixteenth century, gentleman's clothes were brightly colored and the cloth was patterned, and embroidered.
In the seventeenth century a wealthy man had silver buckles on his shoes, and lace at the end of his sleeves. He could be fashionable because he was rich.
However, not every fashion started with the wealthy. Trousers were worn by working men in the eighteenth century, but, by the beginning of the nineteenth century, they were also worn by fashionable men.

Women's fashions
Before the twentieth century, European women wore long skirts or dresses. Looking at these dresses, we notice that there is a lot of beautiful embroidery, lace, and decorative work including gold thread and pearls.
after the first world war, woman's fashion changed much more than men's. in the 1920s in Europe many young women began to wear short skirt and very short hair. since Dior launched the New York in 1947, woman's fashion has continued to change rapidly
