Have you ever asked yourself when or why fashion submerged?  Fashion has been a continuing factor for hundreds of years, and continues year after year with new trends and ideas.

Well before the 1840′s wedding dresses were of any color.  When Queen Victoria got married in 1840 in a stunning white lace trimmed dress, white dresses were then related to weddings from that point on.

In the 19th centry people with new clothes and fashions would be considered middle class.  Men who wore black suits, shades of gray and brown were looked at as being respectful, and having authority and responsibility.  Salior uniforms became vital for the middle class boys.  Bows, ruffels, and pastels were worn of those of the middle class girls.

Over the past five decades we have seen numerous trends in fashion.  In the 1950′s we saw women in poodle skirts and saddle shoes.  Then a year later it changed to women in miniskirts, baby doll dresses and go go boots.  In the 1970′s people were after bell bottoms and platform shoes or the disco look.  The 1980′s brought out clothes with big shoulder pads, leg warmers, designer jeans.  In the 1990′s the look was that of grunge, tattoos, straight hair with a part down the middle.

More often then not clothing is known to express emotions.  We often wear black as a sign of mourning the loss of a loved one, but at the same time black can also consider a formal color.  There are many well known people whom are well known for their clothing such as Elvis Presley.  Elvis Presley has been remembered by his white jewled suits.  Abrahma Lincoln was known for his stove piped hat.   Jackie Kennedy was known for her hats, and her well tailored suits.  President Jimmy Carter was remembered by his cardigan sweaters.  Ronald Reagan wore his cowboy hat as a symbol of his heritage.   As time changes so does trends and fashions.
