Some historians observe the frequently changing clothing styles as a distinctively Western habit among urban populations.[dubious – discuss] Changes in costume often took place at times of economic or social change (such as in ancient Rome), but then a long period without large changes followed. In 8th century Cordoba, Spain, Ziryab (a famous musician of that time) is said to have introduced sophisticated clothing styles based on seasonal and daily timings from his native Baghdad and his own inspiration.

How didn’t fashion evolve

The beginnings of the habit in Europe of continual and increasingly rapid change in styles can be fairly reliably dated to the middle of the 14th century, to which historians including James Laver and Fernand Braudel date the start of Western fashion in clothing.²³ The most dramatic manifestation was a sudden drastic shortening and tightening of the male over-garment, from calf-length to barely covering the buttocks, sometimes accompanied with stuffing on the chest to look bigger. This created the distinctive Western male outline of a tailored top worn over leggings or trousers.

Fashion refers to the styles and customs prevalent at a given time. In its most common usage however, “fashion” describes the popular clothing style. Many fashions are popular in many cultures at any given time. Important is the idea that the course of design and fashion will change more rapidly than the culture as a whole. Fashion designers create and produce clothing articles.

The terms “fashionable” and “unfashionable” were employed to describe whether someone or something fits in with the current or even not so current, popular mode of expression. However, more so in the modern era items termed ‘not so current’ may indeed fit into the term ‘Retro.’ Retro fashion allows rule shifts, such as ‘old is suddenly new,’ thus fashionable. The term “fashion” is frequently used in a positive sense, as a synonym for glamour, beauty and style[citation needed]. In this sense, fashions are a sort of communal art, through which a culture examines its notions of beauty and goodness. The term “fashion” is also sometimes used in a negative sense, as a synonym for fads and trends, and materialism.
