"Clothes make a man. Naked people have little or no influence on society." - Mark Twain

Past Fashion

World History

Crazy fashion trends from history teach contemporary clothes horses&nbsp;a few things. One, people will go to ridiculous lengths to prove their station in society. They&rsquo;ll nearly break their necks by teetering on towering platform shoes, hobble themselves with skirts, and bind themselves up in an organ-shifting corset, all in the name of style. And two, exaggeration is key. From hugely padded sleeves to large embroidered codpieces, true devotes of trends believed that bigger was better. Some films <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/things-movies-get-wrong-about-historical-clothing/genevieve-carlton/" target="_blank">get historical fashion wrong</a>, but others are pretty accurate, no matter how ridiculous the clothes seem.&nbsp;

<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/deadly-fatal-victorian-beauty-trends-and-treatments/amandasedlakhevener">Weird fashion trends</a> from history were frequently dangerous as well. Vivid dyes could be made with toxic arsenic, while voluminous&nbsp;crinolines could easily catch on fire. Even if the clothing wasn&#39;t fatal, a&nbsp;lot of these crazy fashion trends from history seriously impaired&nbsp;a person&rsquo;s ability to live a normal life. People who wore bliauts couldn&rsquo;t really use their arms. Men who donned&nbsp;crakowes found walking a bit problematic. And extra wide panniers kept women from fitting through narrow doors.

Whether they&#39;re deadly or just plain nuts, you can be thankful these fashion trends are in the past and are not <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/old-fashion-trends-that-deserve-a-comeback/brenden-donnelly" target="_blank">deserving of a comeback</a>.

The summer of 2002 saw Avril Lavigne&#39;s release of &quot;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIy3n2b7V9k" target="_blank">Sk8er Boi</a>,&quot; and the tie over tank top movement was born. If you paired your tie with a studded belt, and had chunky neon red highlights, you definitely rocked the early 2000s &quot;punk&quot; look. &nbsp;

If pseudo-punk rock wasn&#39;t your style, you might have worn&nbsp;head-to-toe Abercrombie &amp; Fitch and plucked your eyebrows super thin for the ultimate prepster look. If you were a guy, you looked to NSYNC for their cooler than cool frosted tips and denim jackets. All of these fashion statements were totally cool back in the aughts...but nowadays, they&#39;re seen as total fashion fails.&nbsp;

We&#39;re all suckers for a big Hollywood movie ending: boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy wins girl back, boy gets girl. And then, most importantly: girl gets dress! A match made in true movie heaven! It&#39;s perfection!

Some of the best film wedding dresses are truly the stuff of dreams: the dreams of directors and costume designers, and sometimes the nightmares of the actresses who have to figure out how to go to the bathroom during filming breaks.&nbsp;

It didn&#39;t take us long to come up with this list of the best bridal gowns in movies. Most of our favorite wedding movies feature a stunningly gorgeous wedding gown. From romantic comedies to dark dramas with <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-goth-wedding-dresses/samantha-dillinger" target="_blank">goth wedding gowns</a>,&nbsp;the we&#39;d wear every single one of the wedding dresses in these movies. Classic gowns, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-nerdy-wedding-dresses/dani-porter" target="_blank">nerdy gowns</a>, or modern dresses, we don&#39;t care! They&#39;re all gorgeous. Movies prove that you don&#39;t have to be traditional on your wedding day. You can even marry an Ogre instead of Prince Charming. (Not that there&#39;s anything wrong with Prince Charming!)&nbsp;

We&#39;ve been falling in love with wedding dresses in movies since we were little girls watching Cinderella (don&#39;t worry, it&#39;s on the list). Hollywood has shown us that we really can have the wedding gown of our dreams. Now it&#39;s time for you to decide: which&nbsp;of these best <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-best-wedding-movies/all-genre-movies-lists" target="_blank">movie wedding</a> dresses takes the cake?

This list of outfits that got kids kicked out of prom will definitely surprise you, and not because the looks are scandalous. You may have heard of Aniya&nbsp;Wolf, the student from <a href="http://www.ranker.com/tags/high-school?ref=internalCrossLinking_tag" target="_blank">Bishop McDevitt High School</a> who was banned from her prom for wearing a tux instead of a dress. But girls wearing tuxes to prom is just the beginning.

Can you guess why 16-year-old David Leix was denied entry into his prom? His family heirloom kilt, passed down to him by his late grandfather, was the culprit. David was accused of wearing a &quot;dress-like&quot; outfit by a volunteer who denied him entrance, then had to wait two hours outside of prom while a friend&#39;s parent brought him a change of pants. &nbsp;

Then, there&#39;s Brittany Minder, who was denied access to her prom because of inappropriate cleavage when she was actually appropriately covered. She just had a different&nbsp;body type than average, and school officials couldn&#39;t handle it. And what crazy outfit did Shafer Rupard wear that got her kicked out of prom? Simply a pair of red pants. Then, there&#39;s Gabi Finalyson, who was accused of violating her school&#39;s modesty dress code, even though&nbsp;she had her dress specially altered just so she could meet the school&#39;s requirements.&nbsp;

Watches can function as a statement piece, a show of wealth, a pedometer, or simply as a timepiece. The best watch brands are popular with men everywhere, helping them keep the time and look stylish. Though nice watches are not as popular as they once were, a watch is more of a fashion statement than it used to be. There are many name brand watches that are still widely worn and plenty of watch manufacturers designing great men's watches.The most inexpensive and medium-priced watches are used mainly for timekeeping and are electronic watches with quartz movements.&nbsp;Expensive collectible watches, valued more for their workmanship and aesthetic appeal than for simple timekeeping, often have purely mechanical movements and are powered by springs, even though they are less accurate than the more affordable quartz movements watches. In addition to the time, the most popular men's watches often display the day, date, month, and year. Some watches for men provide additional time-related features, such as timers, chronographs, alarm functions, GPS, and heart monitoring.What are the best men's watch brands?

Just like how everyone has their own <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-jeans-and-denim-brands/fashionbaby">favorite brands of jeans</a>, every serious boot lover has an opinion on the best brand of boots.

Fashion is always changing, but are there ever times you wish some <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/fashion-trends-that-should-make-a-comeback/fashionbaby?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">old fashion trends</a> would make a comeback? Maybe you think bell bottoms from the 1970s were the epitome of cool, or maybe you think top hats give off an aura of stately sophistication that we&#39;re missing today. Maybe one of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/fashion-trends-that-should-make-a-comeback/fashionbaby" target="_blank">many fashion trends</a> from the 1990s should make a return, but no matter how hard you try to convince others, it never seems to catch on.

Well, maybe there should be a place where people could democratically agree upon which outdated fashion trends should make a grand return. No one necessarily has to act on it, but wouldn&#39;t it be cool to know which fashion trends from the past could be potential fashion trends for the present?

The royal family has no shortage of exquisite jewels.

Some are placed in ceremonial objects like the <a href="https://www.hrp.org.uk/tower-of-london/history-and-stories/the-crown-jewels/#gs.h3lkhn" target="_blank">Crown Jewels</a>; others are worked into more wearable accessories.

Picture a citizen of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-was-hygiene-like-ancient-roman-emperor/melissa-sartore" target="_blank">Roman Empire</a>. What are they wearing? Most likely, you imagined someone wearing a white toga, sandals, and maybe some kind of laurel on their head. But most <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/whoa-ancient-wardrobe-pieces/mallory-weiler" target="_blank">ancient Romans</a> didn&#39;t really dress that way in their day-to-day lives.

Many&nbsp;of us get our ideas of how Romans dressed from pop culture -&nbsp;movies like&nbsp;Spartacus&nbsp;or&nbsp;Gladiator,&nbsp;or TV shows like&nbsp;Rome. But no movie or TV show&nbsp;can perfectly recreate a historical era no&nbsp;matter how big their budget, and many don&#39;t try very hard. Additionally, there&#39;s the simple fact that the Roman Empire existed a long time ago; only a fraction of the material goods from that time has&nbsp;survived to the present. The information we do have about Roman wardrobes is only a small piece of the whole picture. As a result,&nbsp;our modern ideas about Roman wardrobes are skewed.&nbsp;

But&nbsp;archaeologists have actually figured out a lot about how Romans dressed. Newer information might not have made its&nbsp;way into the movies yet, but perhaps that will change. In the meantime, here are some&nbsp;facts about what the Romans actually wore.

History

Crinolines put the hoop in the Victorian-era skirt. For two decades, women wore crinolines - lightweight cages attached to their&nbsp;waists - under their clothing&nbsp;to create a wide, bell-shaped&nbsp;silhouette.&nbsp;Thanks to crinolines, hoop skirts may be the most iconic&nbsp;and defining piece of fashion from the 1800s.

Crinolines were products of Victorian industrialism. Manufacturers and designers took factory-produced materials like steel and coil and applied them to women&#39;s fashion. Though they were particular to the Victorian era, crinolines had a relatively brief moment in the sun and were only worn for a portion of the period. They were popular only from the 1850s until the 1870s, at which point new styles and materials began to dominate fashionable tastes.

Why did crinolines become so popular in the middle of the 19th century? How comfortable were they to wear? And what did women really think of them?

Women's fashion trends have changed throughout history just as much as society's values have. The definition of shocking has changed just as frequently, and certain styles of clothing have gone out of style only to <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/fashion-trends-that-should-make-a-comeback/fashionbaby?var=11&amp;utm_expid=16418821-324.XvwUH6XMQEuZMHo4mRbyWw.6&amp;ref=browse_list_4&amp;l=2&amp;pos=10&amp;utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ranker.com%2Ftags%2Ffashion" target="_blank">come back even stronger</a>&nbsp;hundreds of years later.These examples of historical women's clothing&nbsp;showed some serious skin, broke tradition, made women more comfortable, and turned the idea of what fashion could be on its head. For as long as humans have been wearing clothes as something more than just protection against the elements,&nbsp;women have used their clothes to express themselves and what they wanted, even if there were periods where covering up was the order of the day.We might believe that we're the most sexually open generation, but these revealing clothes and styles from the past speak loudly as to the freedom women had in the past and the risks they took to break free from convention.

Looking closer at films, TV shows, docs, and miniseries that explore, recreate, and occasionally flub up real historical events.

Watching History

Ancient Romans always wore togas, Scottish men always wore kilts, and 19th-century women stuffed&nbsp;themselves into painful corsets. At least, that&#39;s the impression historically inaccurate costumes in movies and TV shows&nbsp;give about <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-fashion-eras-throughout-history/setareh-janda" target="_blank">past fashion trends</a>. The worst historical movie costumes just ignore history completely - no, William Wallace didn&#39;t wear a kilt, even if Mel Gibson does in&nbsp;Braveheart.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Sometimes bad historical costumes make sense. If every film set in the 19th century used historically accurate bonnets, for example, they&#39;d be hard to watch.&nbsp;But even these understandable choices leave viewers with some pretty silly beliefs about the past.
