Fan fashion people have observed that today’s fashion was based from the old fashion clothes. Therefore, if you are not thrilled about old fashion dresses, then you don’t get the idea of how it has helped our fashion today.

In the past 16th century, dressing well has already started. Clad in good clothes were both men and women, young and old rich and poor in the past is depicted in the old paintings and portraits that even shows their daily life before. For your information, not all has the same social position, and not all of them has the capability to purchase costly wears. Nevertheless, nomatter how poor and rich people before they were still able to use good garments for them to wear becauses they had a distinct fashion sense. Social status is another factor that affects in dressing up.

Wealth, importance in the society and social status affects men and women’s choice of clothes in the renaissance period. Therefore, rich people acquires fine material of clothing because it is made widely available for them.

In what way does this turn up in the picture?

Have you observe that all our clothes is a reflection of our own social status, much more of our wealth, intentionally or unintentionally? The full picture shows that businessmen wear tux and socialities wear cocktail dresses while ordinary men and women are fond of wearing simply shirts and pants, how can you? describe this?

If you are to become more keen and observant, can you see that the rich deliberately display their diamond studded earrings and gold plated necklaces for everyone to see? Well for me, that’s not a coincidence.

I strongly believe that our fashion in today’s world is a mirror of what was then- of what importance was given to people who are or were wealthier than others. Is their a possibility that these good looking garments came because of mere tradition?
