History of the Power Suit 1920s Chanel liberates women So, how did it all start? We owe a lot of it to that classy French lady Coco Chanel. She was the one who freed women from those horribly restrictive corsets and gave us some room to actually move and breathe! According to the Emerald Street, the original power suit did not involve polyester and shoulder pads, but rather a knitted wool cardigan paired with a matching skirt.

Woman indulged themselves in fur and silk, if they were wealthy enough. These types of clothing were reserved for the evening, to be worn with elbow length gloves, and daywear included such things as dresses with bow tie collared shirts with a matching jacket (Thomas).

She is wearing a Victorian look alike dress which is black and has an open flurry collar with a white long sleeved shirt that comes out from under the long black sleeves.

She is wearing skin coloured tights and black low heel shoes. She has a big black bow on top of her head and has a tight but heavy bun.
Minoan women wore skirts that flared out from the waist in a bell shape, with many decorations attached to the cloth. Later designs were made from strips of fabric, sewn in ways that created rows of ruffles from waist to ankle. Women also wore close-fitting blouses that were cut low in the front to expose the breasts. A tiny waist was prized, and both men and women wore tight belts made of metal, which held their waists in.

In the Renaissance upper class women were known for wearing five pieces of clothing which were skirt, underskirt, bodice, underbodice, or vest, hoop and collar. And then lower class women were known for wearing three pieces of clothing which were underskirt, bodice, and robe. This helped maintain Renaissance social structures since the lower classes didn’t wear the same fashion as the upper class. Upper class men were known for wearing doublet, jerkin, and hose, cloak, hat, long shirt, drawers, and heavily padded peascod doublet. Lower class men were known for wearing joined hose, codpiece, or straight, loose trousers falling to mid-calf, with a loose coat over their shirt hanging to mid-thigh, and belted with a bit of cord.
