Evolution Of Work Clothes (Chart)

Work now

Great changes have taken place.

In the absence of customers, men in the office will wear them.

The khaki pants and the sports jacket, the workers may be dressed in pink.

And low waist jeans.

Compared to 5 or 60 years ago, blue collar workers, both men and women, wore the same clothes.

Designers work for ladies.

A lot of styles and colors have been added.

No matter gender, comfort is going to work.

One of the biggest changes.

The overalls are now using soft fabrics and techniques that make clothing easier to maintain, such as crease resistance, antifouling properties, moisture and sweat functions.

The two most important changing factors are clothing fit and fabric used.

Williamson-Dickie Mfg. design director Kathy RisCassi said: "in the past, the work clothes were restricted by function, design was strict, and the fabric was hard, but the new fabric changed the situation."

Blue collar

It is becoming more fashionable that workers and men can wear their work clothes to leisure places or restaurants.

Office clothes become more casual, and can be directly dressed to go shopping or participate in sports events.

On the other hand, blue collar workers wear suits and collar to work.

Influenced by the movie idols Gary Cooper, Sean Connery and Steve McQueen, the men's office wear has changed dramatically.

50s was a conservative era of clothing, which lasted until the women revolution in 60s, but men wore suits and ties to watch baseball games.

By the time of 6 and 70s, men began to wear knitted sweaters and velvet suits.

Men's office clothes were first accepted by France.

The impact of Yves Saint Laurent was later on in the United States.

Ralph Lauren, Ralph Lauren really brought the American style of clothing to the world, and from then on, men began to pursue the brand of clothes and their favorite designers.

70s is the age when designers are becoming popular in men's wear.

In 80s, men and women wore a suit suit with a sense of strength, and a necktie. Men's and women's business wear had a broad shoulder.

By 90s, influenced by the casual wind in Silicon Valley, the casual wear on Friday was made, and men's professional wear became easier and more casual.

But as the economy becomes more and more serious, people want to make themselves look competitive through professional and serious professional wear.

But young people who like to dress up also wear suits, which they think is a symbol of success.

In the early 20s, celebrities and politicians had great influence on clothing.

But the influence of celebrities is different now.

The speed of information dissemination in the whole society is so fast that everything is so vulnerable that fashion trends can not last for a long time.

Fashion icon George Clooney or Angelina Jolie has an influence on the style, color and fabric of women's professional wear.

On the whole, women's professional wear is much richer than men's.

Liz Claiborne is a clothing brand specially designed for office women launched in 1976.

After the women's movement in 70s, the status of female workers was improved for the first time.

At that time, the choice of women's clothing was very limited, either by tailoring suits or wearing ordinary women's clothing.

Liz Claiborne specializes in women's careers, which are different from the usual clothes for children or for dinner parties.

But Liz Claiborne also pioneered the purchase of products, and then let consumers have their own match to break the tradition of previous suits.

This is a revolution for the retail industry.

Donna Karan is the brand of women's clothing launched in 1985.

The brand is different from men's suit, but the bow tie element is added to the business dress.

Donna Karan makes women's suits more comfortable and graceful, and the tailoring is also more flexible.

Since 1873 Jacob Davis thought of putting metal rivets or pressing holes on jeans, tooling has also become a trend.

Davis and Levi Strauss are now the world's most famous brands.

In the first half of the twentieth Century, Levi's jeans and jackets were often used as working clothes and Western jeans.

In 50s, youth culture accepted jeans and the situation began to change.

In 70s, Levi's cowboy became synonymous with tooling and casual wear. Later, when Levi's entered the international market, it became a fashion trend.

From 30s to twenty-first Century of last century, men's tooling did not change much.

Dickies is the tooling brand launched in 1922, providing jeans and twill trousers for World War II labor force.

The brand's tooling has led to a new style of leisure, and has introduced CARPENTER SHORTS, five bags of jeans and crew wear.

And waterproof, breathable and windproof fabrics are used.

Dickies recreated the tooling pattern in 20s.

Young people demand more than just comfortable fabrics, but they want more colors and fit.

VF was founded in 1923, in addition to providing outfits for outdoor workers, he also designed clothes for chefs, servants, hotel staff, catering staff and auto workers.

The brand's clothing adds flame retardancy to fabrics.

Women's tooling was born 5 years ago, when Carhartt learned that 1/3 of the wearers were wearing women.

According to women's work and lifestyle, women's tooling has added softer fabrics and various finishing methods, not only rich in style, but also very wearable.

Everyone wants to see a special girl. Dickies's women's clothing makes girls look like candy.

Levi's's search for Levi's Girl on Facebook has also made many of its women's tooling followers.
