Different tastes in what is considered fashionable, and appearance of large clothing companies as opposed to tailors

>>1893822
It's more of an anglo thing to dress like trash. A lot of well dressed women in Northern and Western Europe.

Because dresses are cumbersome and don't have (good, if any) pockets.

>>1893891

My ancestors were farmers in Iowa. I have photos of them working in the fields ca 1910 wearing long sleeve shirts and a vest.

>>1893876
why does the Anglo underclass always look so polish?

(I am aware there are a lot of polish immigrants in the UK but that doesn't answer the question a lot of working class English and Scottish people look legitimately Slavic)

Modern fashion is extremely varied. For every 'LEL SLUTS' photo you find, there are people dressed modestly. Or even historically. Or weirdly. Or plainly. Or sharply.

Modern fashion no longer looks the way it did in the past because fashion constantly evolves, and the world is different now. What was practical in the past is no longer practical now.

Personally I love modern fashion because it is so varied. Want to dress up in 1950s garb? Go for it. Want to wear smart slacks and a sharp suit? S'good. Want to wear a mini skirt, sparkly top and a giant dramatic cape? Have fun. Want to wear a shirt with a print made entirely of PB Crisps artwork? Fucking do it, you just fucking do it.

I cringed reading this post

>>1893822
Because we stopped having tailors, people making their own clothes, specialists and so on and so forth. Clothes most people buy now is mass produced at industrial levels so access to more unique clothes is more limited. Also mass marketing and advertising in media influences what we should buy and what's hot. People buy it to be trendy and fit in since you'll never be taken seriously walking around with a cape. Clothes also lasts less nowadays so we are made to buy more. Its even worst now that companies have been getting cheaper. So the quality has gone down as has properly fitted clothes. Now if you're thinking of change in style. Id say people have developed tackier tastes. And people are either to lazy to give a shit, are so desperate to be different they'll pick up a funky style for the lulz, orbuy ugly clothes cause thats all they can afford.

>>1893990
Why? He makes a valid point. In the information age were culture and ideas spread easily, it's logical that fashion trends would shift more quickly than in the past. With modern companies you can produce and buy more varied and niche clothing cheaply, driving fashion variety further up.

Clothes are also much easier to obtain because of industrialization, so shifts in fashion and trends are more easily broadcast and worked into society. And for substyles or alternative fashion, which have happened historically (pic related) it's now more widespread due to increasingly available media in the 20th century, social media in the 21st century, and again the easier access to clothing.

Getting your picture taken 100 years ago was treated about the same as having a portrait painted of yourself. Cameras were rare, expensive, and it wasn't easy to develop film. Being in a photograph was a special occasion that didn't happen very often so you'd make sure to look your finest.

Before Industrial Revolution, your everyday clothes had the equivalent cost of a car, therefore people looked for good looking, durable clothes.

Nowadays cheap clothing is the norm, so people look for comfort.

Not him, but you don't seem to grasp how labor intensive pre-industrial clothing was. Buying a new set of clothing was a huge deal, and everything beyond burlap peasant bags were substantial investments.

Nobles kept huge guilds of weavers, lace-makers, tailors and dressmakers in business, and that shit was time and labor intensive, and very expensive.

The early industrial revolution would have seen prices dropping for clothing like how we've seen computer prices drop (relative to performance) in our lifetime.

While not the most scholarly article, this one gives a more detailed overview:

Isolation. Unless your going to work or school, you won't ever see most of the people who see you ever again. And if you have a gf or a fleshlight why put in the effort?

Also you can clothe yourself very cheaply, but looking /fa/ requires alot of time, money, and effort since everything is mass produced with the intent to fit as many people as possible.

Clothes was more expensive and there weren't washing machines and dryers that would shrink clothes so people selected only the most durable fabrics for purchase. Even in modern Japan people tend to leave the lounge wear for home. Also the dyes used dictated the price.
