Mode has released another of the ever popular fashion evolution videos but, this time it\u2019s a battle of the sexes. \u201c100 Years of Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Fashion\u201d guides you through some of the best and worst trends of the past century \u2014 with fitting musical cues and hot models \u2014 from tuxedo shoes and denim rompers to embellished jeans. It\u2019s all there!<\/p>\n
I personally like the early \u201900s and the \u201940s as good style alternatives to present-day fashion cues. However, that may or may not have something to do with my obsession with Jimmy Stewart movies and TV shows like The O.C. or Veronica Mars. I\u2019m also happy that the \u201970s brought us Chuck Taylor Converse and leather jacket trends. That being said, I\u2019d say we as a whole are much better off now than we were just a decade ago. Fits and cuts are vastly improved to suit a wide variety of tastes, and personal style is not dictated as much by societal conventions.<\/p>\n
However, the evolution of fashion is fascinating and every fashionista worth her salt should know her roots. I\u2019m just happy that women can wear pants \u2014 even yoga pants \u2014 nowadays. So, in the hopes of educating for the greater good, here is men and women\u2019s fashion from 1915 to present day. Who knows? Maybe this will inspire you to adopt some trends you had never thought of previously!<\/p>\n
I love the feather on the hat, but on behalf of women everywhere I think we\u2019re all happy to say that this dress style has died and will not be resurrected. Also, big ups to Sibyl on Downton Abbey season one. I\u2019d have to say this is a win in the male column.<\/p>\n
Yes to Wilde, and flappers, and dancing, but no to bucket hats. However, this man\u2019s whole outfit just doesn\u2019t do it. Women of 1925 win.<\/p>\n
This is a close call. I\u2019d say that the men have made the most improvement in style here, but it depends on if you like the rat pack and Sammy Davis. I\u2019d say the men win for overall fit and style, but the women win for silhouette.<\/p>\n
4. 1945<\/p>\n
Women win. Hands down. Look at how cute and professional she is! The wide leg khakis,<\/p>\n
5. 1955<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And then, boom a complete style overhaul. This is the era of the greasers and Sandy Olsen. Women were more colorful, while men were more casual and experimental. But, in their defense, a leather jacket looks good. I\u2019d say this is a win for Danny Zuko.<\/p>\n
6. 1965<\/p>\n
This mustard color beatnik outfit needs to be destroyed, no matter how hot the model is. The hot pink dress, on the other hand, is Mad Menchic in the best way.<\/p>\n
7.1975<\/p>\n
Jeans, paisley, flower children, and turtleneck sweaters make the \u201970s pretty darn memorable in fashion history. Additionally, we see the beginning of suede fringe and oversized glasses. However, comparing and contrasting fairly, I\u2019d say the women rock the all jean trend in this decade.<\/p>\n
8. 1985 Jeans<\/p>\n
Oof, just overall. We all kind of struck out in the \u201980s. Seriously, who thought that big crimped hair and mullets were a good idea? My mom\u2019s closet still haunts me at night. I\u2019d say this is a draw.<\/p>\n
9. 1995<\/p>\n
Women were much more grunge adventurous in the \u201990s. We win. Sorry, not sorry.<\/p>\n
10. 2005<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I\u2019m a little bit biased because I\u2019m obsessed with early \u201900s CW television, but I think that this was a big step in the right direction for both men and women. Jeans were certainly better.<\/p>\n
11. 2015<\/p>\n
Fit, form, style, and use of color have gotten better and more minimalist. Clothing is more functional in all types of weather. However, that is not to say we are not adventurous with our style. It\u2019s, in fact, quite the contrary as evidenced by every fashion week. In the comparison between the two looks pictured here, I\u2019d say Mr. Model wins. His facial hair has gotten so much better over the years, and he pulls off the all-jean look much better than he did in the \u201970s.<\/p>\n
So, what\u2019s the final tally? Women win 5-4. It could have been a tie if the \u201980s weren\u2019t as horrendous as they were. It\u2019s fun to watch John Hughes movies, but not as fun to recreate all blue eyeshadow looks with scrunchies. Both women and men\u2019s fashion is much better off now than it was only a few years ago. We\u2019ll see what 2016 has in store for us very soon!<\/p>\n
