Don't judge a book by its cover

 Judging a person does not define who they are. It defines who you are. Just because someone laughs a lot doesn't mean they have an easy life. Just because someone can smile doesn't mean something isn't bothering them. Don't judge the bad with the good. Everything isn't what it seems to be.

Çüłtùrē

 Culture is what symbolizes a person, like as their symbolic communication. Culture is defined by everything from language, religion, music, food, social habits, and arts. Everyone has their own culture that symbolizes them. It also has to do with growth. Countries grow, well so does its cultural diversity. Different cultural groups think, fell, and act differently.

Feminism

   I think that feminism is right, just not when its judged. Its amazing how some people are still campaigning against correct feminism. I think this is great because, the fact that people still have the ability and courage to fight for women's rights. Feminism can be judged in many different ways, like as if that person is your own fashion designer. It's crazy?! In my opinion, no one whatsoever should have the ability to judge someone, just because a girl looks like a boy, or because an individual has there own opinion about their appearance.

The Fashion World

 The Fashion World is full of popular style, especially in clothing, footwear, accessories, makeup, and furniture. Most clothing was custom-made. By the beginning of  the 20th century, with the rise of new technology such as the sewing machine. Clothing had increased and come to be a "mass-produced" selection in standard sizes and sold at fixed prices. 
  

Different Types of Men's Fashion

  When it comes to men's fashion, there are many different ways of dressing. When you dress a certain way,you earn a certain type of respect.Its apart of appreciation and respect. Not everyone is gonna love and adore your look. Sometimes you can just be casual and laid back. Yeah, appearance might affect others, but if you care about your appearance than go forward and take action.

Men's Fashion

       Men's Fashion has changed over time a lot. In the 1950's ,it was the introduction of man-made fabric clothing. The goal was to "look apart of the club", in a boxy sack suit, oxford shirt, rep tie, and loafers. Men were trying to look smart and employable. They used "Natural Fibers" which is claimed to be a good use for clothing.

 This is also apart of the boxy sack type of suit below.




















 Now the 1960's became more rebellious and individual. Clothing reflected this new attitude, especially with younger people who were more concerned about self-expression and individuality than classical dressing. It was like an "anything goes" period. This was like the first time in history that grown men wanted to look young and care-free.

  The 1970's, known as Disco Funk. It was more a hippie rebel fashion. For men, it means bell bottom jeans, tie dye shirts, and military surplus clothing. The most popular accessories of the 1970's for men were homemade, like necklaces, headbands, and bracelets made from all-natural materials such as wood, hemp, and leather.

  The 1980's fashion for men, brought an explosion of colorful pieces of men's clothing. There were certain types of looks for this type of fashion. Like, a Miami Vice look, which was men who donned in casual T-shirts underneath expensive suit jackets, that were in bright or pastel colors.
 In the 1990's men had preppy clothing, which was becoming popular. Especially with young men preferring khaki slacks, blue blazers, and canvas shoes. Men wore straight-leg jeans with wool sweaters, leather jackets, sheepskin coat. Also they wore gold jewelry, which was claimed to be highly considered fashion. 
 Finally, men's fashion in 2000's were more included in sporty clothing like Adidas, Nike shorts, loafers, camp shirts and baseball camps etc. were very popular. People likes to wear cartoon print hoodies, vintage t-shirts, and slim fit jeans. V-neck sweaters were also very popular.
                                               The difference between style and fashion is quality

Why weren't women allowed to wear pants

       In the 1850's, women were expected to be "formally dressed" with multi-layered skirts, and dresses. Then people started arguing for dress reform, and some women of bloomers and short skirts were at risk of arrest. According to www.latimes.com, Kindergarten Teacher, Helen Hulick wore slacks in a courtroom, giving her a five day jail sentence.
 
Helen Hulick was arrested because, people thought that it was disrespectful for women to show their legs, also with personal opinions people thought that men had their own clothing, and women had their own clothing. She claimed "I have been wearing pants since I was 15, they are very comfortable and create a different formality." 
I think Helen Hulick is an important part of history, and I am very happy that she stood up for this.

Women & Pants

      Everyone has their own personal preference, However I think that pants are unisex pieces of clothing. Like skirts, heels, and etc. I think its amazing for women to wear pants! According to www.stuffmomnevertoldyou.com 9 women got arrested for wearing pants in 1943. Here's a question for you, Would You Arrest Me or Any Other Female for Wearing Pants? If you say yes, then why? Everyone has there own style. Men use to wear heels, but even though my mom wore them yesterday that doesn't make me feel any different. In my opinion, that's crazy for people to judge others by the way they dress and look. The problem with this judgement is how people judge someone. Men wear pants, women wear pants. Honestly what was the issue and how does it relate to the Mystery of Fashion?




                                            
Would you agree with this statement?
They do say dress to impress.

About Me-

    My name is Imani Allen. I am an artistic, fun, active person. I love fashion, and that's what my blog will be about. Fashion isn't just about clothes. Its also about culture, and personal preference. Everyone has their own opinions about things, and some can be positive, and some can be negative. I want this blog to help show that people can be themselves with style.
