Over the years, the definition of fashion has surely changed. It has taken on different meanings depending on what women chose to wear at the time. This very often paralleled other events taking place in the country. Whether it was the move west and a switch to more practical clothing, or the 1920s with the flapper revolution, fashion has been a very dynamic part of American history. I can only anticipate what future generations of political, social and economic events will bring to women’s fashion and how they will continue to change the history of American through this compelling filament of society.
