Over the centuries, has a different direction, because the national peculiarities, local customs, cultural level. European culture clothing is divided into French, Italian, and English. European culture clothing was made ??of expensive fabrics, often decorated with precious stones, valuable, and passed down from generation to generation. Shoes and different types of clothes you wear have a history that is quite unique. Ranging from shoes and clothing made ??reasons, the manufacturing process, until its development as it is now. Here’s the history of shoes and some clothes from European culture clothing that are very interesting to know.

Shoes

Shoes with a ridiculous fashion needs first made in the 1300s in Europe. Shoe shape was like Aladdin’s slippers, with a very long front. The section also grew longer and endangering the wearer. To reduce the danger, the Europeans at that time then tie the long toe to knee with a chain or rope. Long toe is also filled with fabric and made into a shape resembling male genitalia. Of course this makes religious leaders angry and forbid people to use the shoes on the grounds of religion.

Collared shirt

Collared shirt or dress that is currently widely used concept was basically derived from the ruff or feathering that is often used in the neck. Ruff serves to protect the edges of clothing in the neck area from wear. Changing the ruff is also more economical than replacing the dress or shirt. As the most popular fashion statement, people began to compete with each other using the most extreme version of the ruff. Ruff also has become increasingly large and made ??of a rigid material, until the wearer are difficult to move.

In the early 1800s, large and stiff collars are increasingly extreme to pose a hazard due to sharp and hurt the ears. Even until the end of 1902, HG Wells complained that the collar made from stiff fabric makes neck pain and leave red welts below the ear. Concepts such as artificial POLO collared shirt, a collar which is actually inverted. In 1929, René Lacoste created the “tennis shirt” with the collar upside down to prevent sunburn on the neck.

Bra

At first, most women do not use the bra and do not consider special clothes needed to support the breast. Used clothing has a double duty to make breasts look better and cover it. The corset also appeared and dominated the world of women’s underwear over the centuries. The corset was designed to make women’s bodies look smaller and more interesting parts of the breast. In the mid-1800s a few visionaries create a prototype of bra but did not develop well. The term itself comes from the Vogue magazine that uses the name “Brassiere” in 1907. Then, to form a bra that we use today, was invented by a socialite named Mary Phelps Jacob in 1910.

Along with the progress the industry made ??a lot of parties, especially clothing designer, for competing to provide innovation in the field of fashion. European culture clothing can not be separated from the long history of how the human dress.
