Classic Clothing Style

Classic describes your style perfectly. You prefer timeless looks, beautiful, but simple, cuts in clothing, fine natural fabrics, and leather shoes and handbags. 

You're more likely than not to be over 40. Tradition is important to you. 

You may occasionally become frustrated when you can't find the exact style of a beloved item of clothing, handbag, or shoe that has worn out. 

And you frequently keep your fashion accessories and clothing until they are worn, just because much of what you buy does not go out of style. 

Although you won't be the flashiest person in a room, you will always look good.

Spain Traditional Clothing

During the Sixteenth Century, Spain was widely known for fashion and elegance. The traditional Spanish clothing was widely known for elegance, austerity, rigidity, and superb decoration.

The cloth fabrics used for making traditional Spanish clothes were rich and heavy, with decorations in gold and silver thread with jewels or pearls.  

The Moorish Culture greatly influenced Spanish dressing; it introduced rich embroideries, use of jewels, jeweled buttons, points and ornaments as well as heavy girdles and collars.

Capes, corsets, farthingale, which were bell-shaped all originated in Spain. Spain refused to develop or change its’ fashion sense and continued to use these styles well after they were outdated, this was the main cause for Spain to give up its title as center of European fashion to places like Paris.

Spain Clothing Style

Modern dress styles in Spain today are quite distinct from the traditional Spanish dress. 

The rich cultural history of Spain has greatly influenced traditional Spanish dress styles. The modern Spanish dress style is in line with modern day clothing styles. Designer clothes are quite popular although more emphasis is placed on dress quality than the designer name. 

Spanish dresses are high in quality but at reasonable prices. It is not uncommon to see more teenage girls in trousers than skirts with denim a popular choice among both sexes. For the teenage Spaniard looks and appearances are very important. 

The mature Spaniard would likely be found dressing more conservatively but with style. Men favor colors that are not too bright while women like elegant and stylish clothes. Dress, quality and style are indicators of status in Spain.

Clothing and dress choice is very important in Spain. While western style of dress is very popular, scantly worn dresses are heavily frowned on in small villages in rural Spain. Also small skirts, swim wear or open dresses are frowned upon in churches. It is the fastest way to label yourself a tourist.

Gothic Clothing Style

Gothic fashion is a clothing style marked by conspicuously dark, mysterious, exotic, and complex features. 

It is worn by members of the Goth subculture; a dark, sometimes morbid fashion and style of dress. 

Typical Gothic fashion includes a pale complexion with colored black hair, black lips and black clothes. Both male and female goths wear dark eyeliner and dark fingernail polish. 

Styles are often borrowed from the Punks,Victorians and Elizabethans. 

Goth fashion is sometimes confused with heavy metal fashion and emo fashion.

Victorian Clothing Style

Victorian fashion comprises the various fashions and trends in British culture that emerged and grew in province throughout the Victorian era and the reign of Queen Victoria, a period which would last from June 1837 to January 1901. 

Covering nearly two thirds of the 19th century, the 63-year reign would see numerous changes in fashion. These changes would include, but not be limited to, changes in clothing, architecture, literature, and the decorative and visual arts.

By 1907, clothing was increasingly factory-made and often sold in large, fixed price department stores. Custom sewing and home sewing were still significant, but on the decline. New machinery and materials changed clothing in many ways.

The introduction of the lock-stitch sewing machine in mid-century simplified both home and boutique dressmaking, and enabled a fashion for lavish application of trim that would have been prohibitively time-consuming if done by hand. Lace machinery made lace at a fraction of the cost of the old, laborious methods.

New materials from far-flung British colonies gave rise to new types of clothing (such as rubber, which made gumboots and mackintoshes possible.) Chemists developed new, cheap, bright dyes that displaced the old animal or vegetable dyes.

American Style Clothing

American style is much more classic and much less trend-focused than British style is. 

The style here is much more casual, comfort-focused, and laid back.

American girls just seem to wear simple pieces with impeccable style. 

A simple black tank or white t-shirt is always made to look much more interesting with the addition of accessories. Plus, American girls (and guys!) really know how to rock a pair of jeans!

British Style clothing

British fashion has always been acclaimed for its “fearlessness” and Brits are famed for their individual sense of style. 

We’re often described as having a “thrown-on” feel to what we wear. 

We mix prints, patterns and styles and many girls pull this off effortlessly.

In my experience, the key to British style is never looking too polished. The festival look is popular year-round – think bed-head hair and vintage-style pieces. 

Chinese Clothing Style

Traditional Chinese clothing is broadly referred to as hanfu with many variations such as traditional Chinese academic dress. 

Depending on one's status in society, each social class had a different sense of fashion. Most Chinese men wore Chinese black cotton shoes, but wealthy higher class people would wear tough black leather shoes for formal occasions. 

Very rich and wealthy men would wear very bright, beautiful silk shoes sometimes having leather on the inside. 

Women would wear bright, silk coated Lotus shoes, with wealthy women practicing bound feet as a status symbol - a practice abolished in the early 20th century. Male shoes were mostly less elaborate than women's.

80s Clothing Style

 In the 80s they wore crazy, mismatched and bright clothes. Go to your local thrift store and look around. 

Find anything neon, black and lacy, or just plain wacky, then pair it up with a pair of converse and you have just made yourself an 80s outfit! Some popular styles were tight leather pants, ripped skinny jeans, dark pants, or colored jeans. 

Another popular type of style was wearing polo shirts with a "popped collar", long, off the shoulder sweatshirts, and if you're looking for a dress go for anything that looks big and metallic.

70's Clothing Style

1970's fashion, which began with a continuation of the mini skirts, bell-bottoms and the androgynous hippie look from the late 1960s, was soon sharply characterized by several distinct fashion trends that have left an indelible image of the decade commemorated in popular culture.

These include platform shoes which appeared on the fashion scene in 1971 and often had soles two to four inches thick. Both men and women wore them.

Wide-legged, flared jeans and trousers were another fashion mainstay for both men and women throughout most of the decade, and this style has been immortalised in the 1977 film Saturday Night Fever, which starred John Travolta.

The "disco look", complete with three-piece suits for men and rayon or jersey wrap dresses for women, which the film further popularized, lasted until it was gradually replaced by punk fashion and straight, cigarette-legged jeans.

 Platform shoes gave way to mules and ankle-strapped shoes, both reminiscent of the 1940s, at the very end of the decade.

Japanese Clothing Style

 Japan began to emulate Western fashion during the middle of the 19th century. By the beginning of the 21st century, this emulation has formed street fashion, a fashion style in which the wearer customizes outfits by adopting a mixture of current and traditional trends.

 Such clothes are generally home-made with the use of material purchased at stores.

At present, there are many styles of dress in Japan, created from a mix of both local and foreign labels. Some of these styles are extreme and avant-garde, similar to the haute couture seen on European catwalks. 

More recently, Japanese hip-hop, which has long been present among underground Tokyo's club scene, has influenced the mainstream fashion industry.The popularity of the music is so influential that Tokyo's youth are imitating their favorite hip hop stars from the way they dress with over-sized clothes to tanned skin.
