This work contains details about everyday clothes ranging from the furs and animal-skin loincloths worn by prehistoric people to the everyday tunics worn by the Romans and Anglo-Saxons; from fur outfits worn by Inuit people in the Arctic to cool sarongs worm by men and women in Indonesia; from the clothes worn by farmers, servants and other workers through history, to the jeans and tracksuits of today. How did different styles of clothing develop? What are the traditions associated with leisure and work clothes? How have fashion fads or practical needs dictated the items we wear everyday? It takes a comprehensive look at the history of the clothes all around us.
