In the 70s the bulk of the fashion statement comprised of characteristic tight fitting clothes for the upper body and loose fitting and wider clothes for the lower portion. This trend of fashion was wholly reversed in the 80s. Both men and women wore loose shirts or tops and tight and body hugging pants.

1. Winter clothes in fashion for the handsome sex.
Author: Henrik Holt
Come winters and there comes out sweaters and Jakker from your cupboards to
keep you warm. Chilled and freeze atmosphere is fun. Running out in the snow
with hand full of snow balls, throwing them at your mates are pleasures
avoidable. Protecting your body and keeping it warm in this dry season is a
priority. The woolen clothes help in keeping our body insulated
and hence maintaining the temperature within. The winter
clothing should be selected choicely. It must be properly
ventilated. It must not be too tight and stick to your body as it
restricts the warm air in the cloths from coming out.
Depending on the chillness of the atmosphere outside, cull
your dresses. If too much cold prevail heavier material of
Sweatshirts and sweaters are opted and for milder cold, a
soft material like single layered woolens are fancied. Hands
are also kept temperate by hand gloves and mittens. Feet and
hands are easily accessible to cold than other parts and they
cause the chilling in the whole body. Socks are worn for happy
feet and gloves are a must whenever you travel in cold.
Jackets used have trendy patterns according to a customer’s
demands. They may be zipped ones called the zip front jacket or the simple
capped ones called the hooded jacket. They are also available in furry patterns.
Moreover other types are like crew jacket or a tracks jacket. These winter wears
should also be taken care of perfectly. They all have there own style statements
to offer. Costumed printed sweatshirts are cool. They are used by sportspersons.
Your favorite celebrity wears it and obviously you would also love to own it. They
are all available online in the sites of respective companies that propose an array
of costumes for winter wears. You can pay and buy them online. There are
assorted and well maintained collections of attires of your wish available here.

2. Covering for hands and feet stylized
Come winter and people take out their woolies and warm clothes. Along with
gorging on various types of sinfully rich food they also take
shelter of heavy clothes for protecting themselves from freezing.
Not all the countries across world face similar kind of cold. It
differs from one country to another. Even within a country, many
regions may face different types of cold. Some may face severe
cold whereas some may face it in moderation. People residing in
regions which has moderate climatic conditions; do not require
special type of clothing for protection against cold. Garments
made from blended textile can work well for them. But it
becomes highly important to have woolen or warm clothes in region which faces
severe cold, like northern region. People wear clothes suitable for protecting them
against cold. The winter clothing includes sweaters, jackets, caps, scarves etc. All
these garments are preferred in woolen form. Hands and feet are the body parts
which are supposed to be the farthest from body. So they require more
protection.
It is not only for protection against the winter, but there is constant requirement
for protecting the hands and feet. Take an example of fire- fighters. They
extinguish fires and may get burns on hands and feet in carrying out their duties.
In these cases, there is a requirement to protect them against fire. People who
work in hotels also need to protect their hands against fire. While serving the
waiters in fine dining hotels use special types of Handsker, to avoid leaving any
finger marks. The doctors and nurses have their special type of covering for their
hands. There are especially designed hand gears worn by the boxers in the
fighting rings. The very basic function of these covering is to
protect the hands from any extreme conditions. So is the case
of feet. Sko have only one basic function and that is to
protect the feet from getting hurt or injured. There are
various leading brands in market. Every garment or clothing is
carefully designed and styled to offer maximum functionality.
It is not just for the functionality that these garments are
used, but in higher class wearing stylized accessories is a
must. People go deep pockets while buying rear pieces of clothes from the
designers. Considering the functionality and durability is the secondary criterion
for such buyers.

3. GARMENTS FOR ALL SEASONS – SWEATSHIRTS, JAKKER
High up in the popularity chart of the most popular stitched garments for either
men or women is the Sweatshirts, that quintessential item of comfort, style and
functionality. Its parallel in the formal/semi-formal
segment would be the jacket that has the distinction of
supreme adaptability to both formal and casual wear.
Upping the fashion quotient for any informal , relaxing
activity sweatshirts can be bought in a variety of hard-
wearing fabrics. Acrylic outers with a soft cotton inner
lining , combed cotton with a polyester combine or a
regular sweatshirt with spandex components are much in
demand. People today are much more conscious of their
appearance than they were earlier and finding a piece of
apparel that gives a flattering silhouette and is
accessorized according to occasion becomes of paramount
importance. Sweatshirts give an air of freedom and
nonchalance and are therefore extremely desired by the younger generation.
Many famous sports clubs have their uniquely designed sportswear which are
actually sweatshirts with the identifying logos. Such items become a craze in the
markets and fill up the shelves of stores selling the same, at the same time
generating a lot of revenue. There is innumerable choice as far as designs go.
Online catalogues give a lot of information on innovations and variations of
pattern , fabric and special add-ons that emerge everyday. Symmetrical necklines
along with the off-shoulder versions are available in the slouchy or distressed
varieties. It is true that the current market allows the customer sufficient
alternatives to cater to every kind of demand.
In contrast to the sweatshirt that is a fairly recent phenomenon, Jakker came
into circulation much earlier, as long ago as the mid-nineteenth century. A jacket
is a sleeved upper-body garment that is usually of waist length but might be
extended up to the hip level. It is often confused with the ‘coat’ but is actually
made of much lighter material. The jacket is a perfect addition to any wardrobe
as it can be worn in any season. Style combined with comfort and practicality this
piece of apparel is stitched in a mind-boggling array of fabrics starting from the
humble cotton to fancy leather, wool, expensive silk or exclusive brocade or even
water-resistant material. This chic garment can be worn in a smart short-cropped,
quarter-sleeved version or a longer one with a flowing cut. Most jackets are
designed keeping in focus the specific occasion for its use. It can make a
statement both haute couture or simply functional.
Keeping pace with the ever-changing demands of the discerning public, both
sweatshirts and jackets combine wearability with functionality and style and are
abundantly available in exclusive as well as cheap markets all over the world.

4. Heighten Yourself
Few people exist who undermine the value of Platform Boots (also famous as
disco boots). They are Sko or sandals with thick soles of cork, rubber, plastic,
foam or even wood (called clogs). The soles can be as thick as 4inches. They
have been known to exist since ancient times, worn by people of all cultures as
something fashionable or just a measure to add a few inches to one's height.
Platform boots were popular in Greece and in Venice. The Greeks used it for
raising one's height to give prominence to characters of the Greek theatre. High
class prostitutes/courtesans of 16th century Venice also used them. People have
also been known to have used these shoes in 18th century Europe to avoid the
dirt and mud of the streets. Resemblance has also been
found to the Roman 'buskin', the Japanese 'geta' and also
Støvler from China having the same thick soles. The
purpose of all these variants was to give added stature to
the wearer. The Chinese still wear it as part of their
costume for the Peking Opera.
Platform soles gained much popularity in the 1930s in
Europe, United Kingdom and the United States of
America. The popularity continued into the 1940s and
1950s, but heightened (no pun intended!) in the 1970s
and 1980s in the U.S. when they started appearing in
advertisements in magazines. The shoes were a rage
with young girls and boys, teens, tweens and even older women. The name 'disco
boots' owes itself to this era. The shoes went well with the disco era of that
decade merging seamlessly with the then apparel fashion. Although, for females,
it did increase height without the discomfort of pencil heels, it also gave the
impression that they have been worn only to attract attention. Men have primarily
worn them to get over their complex of being short, however, a wee bit taller is
also considered fun by many. Many rock musicians have also worn these shoes
giving them added exposure and enigma. Platform heels have seen a very high
rate of rise and fall in terms of fashion popularity but they still remain a must
addition to any shoe cupboard. Many variations of the heel have been
manufactured to suit almost all needs-- there are designer platforms for girls and
rugged soles for serious trekkers (the soles almost look like tires of an off-road
vehicle!).

5. Fashion in the 80s
In the 70s the bulk of the fashion statement comprised of characteristic tight
fitting clothes for the upper body and loose fitting and wider clothes for the lower
portion. This trend of fashion was wholly reversed in the 80s. Both men and
women wore loose shirts or tops and tight and body hugging pants. There was
also a notion that people should display their wealth through their attire, so men
began wearing power suits. There was also an emergent popularity of brand
names like Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein etc. Within the decade, these names had
become household lingo.
Madonna was entitled the "material girl" in the 'like a virgin' era. Millions of girls
worshipped her like a goddess and looked to her for inspiration and her fashion
statements. The general public was introduced to the concept of ripped
Sweatshirts by the popular '83 movie 'Flashdance'. The popularity of overtly
sized shoulder pads owed its fame to television shows like 'Dallas' and 'Dynasty'
which produced an overwhelming impact on popular fashion.
In the European countries and the United Kingdom a new fashion movement
shook the very foundations of the clothing industry changing the way men and
women dressed in that decade. Aerobics shows and dance themed movies were
so popular on both television and the silver screen that they created their own
line of dancewear, leg warmers, leggings and other dancewear which wear wore
on the streets with flaunt. The movie 'Flashdance' made ripped sweatshirts
popular for women as they exposed one shoulder and women found it to be quite
a sexy look. Jane Fonda and Olivia Newton John's line of physical and aerobic
videos also popularized tight dance and exercise apparel. The decade saw
explosively colorful fashion.
There was also the 'thriller look' which was inspired by Michael Jackson's album
"Thriller". Jackson was a craze with teenagers. Every teen and tween alike tried to
copy his rock star look and attempt the famous 'moonwalk'. Jackson popularized
the leather pants and jackets. The jackets would be left unbuttoned by some
teens to give the impression of a messier look. Handsker, which were generally
fingerless, accompanied the attire. The white gloves of Jackson were both a
coveted item and famous amongst the then young generation. With world war II
there was a comeback of the aviator jackets. The pilots wore these jackets and
became very popular with young boys and men as they made them desirous to
the ladies.

6. Thermal Underwear Vs Thick Jackets
The word 'thermal' is a column of rising air in the lower altitudes of the Earth's
atmosphere. Thermals are created by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface
from solar radiation, and an example of convection. The sun warms the ground,
which in turn warms the air directly above it. Dark earth, urban areas and
roadways are good sources of thermals. Hence, the protection of the surface of
the body is the major effect.
Similarly, the thermal clothings are doing well to protect the surface
of human body in the uneven heating situation or to be more specific
in the extreme cold situation. As skin provides insulation and acts as
a temperature regulator, humans need to have an additional source
of insulation for comfort and survival. Thermal Undertøj are made
from two-play fabric of either a wool layer and an artificial fiber, only
wool or, again mostly in the USA, two layers of only artificial fibers,
which uses trapped body heat to insulate against cold air.
It has been noticed that in adverse conditions the correct choice of thermal
clothing can make the difference an invigorating and healthy pursuit and
hypothermia. This is a very comfortable way to fight against chilly cold as now
you may wear a thermal underwear along with a thermal top rather than thick
Jakker and layers of clothing which is eventually uncomfortable and restricting to
the movement. In addition to make the winters comfortable, there are many
brands available offering different quality or layer of protection that is dependent
on the environment.
Worth noting that there are many disadvantages about the wool underwear like it
could be expensive which comes with merino relative to it's synthetic
counterparts. It is slow to dry and has short wearable life with rigorous use.
Synthetic underwear too, carry many disadvantages as it has a tendency to
harbor odors and can irritate the skin after sustained use. Nonetheless, origin of
synthetic fibers is oil which was a a carbon based, non-renewable resource.
