Every society has its own mentality, conceptions, and perspectives on the world, and fashion has always been a way to express them. Fashion has always been influenced by economic, social, and political changes, and historical events have played an important role. People's tastes determine fashion styles, though. Looking back at a time in history can give us a better idea of what people were wearing.
Fashion trends have always spoiled women, since they've been designers' target market from the very beginning. We'd need years to talk about women's fashion if we could just describe just a portion of it, and we'd still be missing key points. When we look at western European and American women's fashion, we can see that every decade has brought its own style that suited the social climate of that time. As an example, women's clothes in the 1930s were very feminine, with all the traits that implied. They had genteel and ladylike appearances with the waistline curves on the dresses and cloche hats hiding their foreheads.
The fashion of the 60s was another important milestone in women's fashion. A sudden and radical change in public thinking made it the most revolutionary decade in living memory. The historical events that happened can explain this shift in track. As a result of the Vietnam War, people turned their back on imperialism, which they considered oppressive and aggressive. There were no restraints on love and peace. Compared to a decade ago, the colors and patterns designers started using were brighter and bolder. Fashion styles continued to reflect the culture in the 80s. Clothing, perfume and attitude were all expressions of power held by powerful businesswomen at the time.
