Levis became lost in the new look and were known as your mother or grandmothers jeans.
The control group (n=20) was solely given the Body Image self-report questionnaire to complete and the experimental group (n=20) were required to watch a 2.21 minute clip from one of ‘Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show’.

Each century alters the fashion and hair style slightly. Often the hair styles reflected the latest trend for the time. Queen Anne introduced little change in the beginning of the eighteenth century. Clothing styles rendered little excitement and were often stiff and un appealing. Charles II as well as James wore traditional clothing from the prior century and yielded little desire to alter the clothing styles for the new century.
One woman could put on a dress only with someone’s help as this was rather difficult. At that time it was very stylish to wear a variety of colors and fabrics for stockings and dresses. Dresses and underwear were cut to show off the woman’s figure in a demure way. The underwear had whale-bones or flexible steel in order to make them close-fitting. [...] The bustle of the 1870s and 1880s replaced the large hoopskirts of the 1850 - 60s.
The sew-in has excelled from the traditional techniques; new techniques such as the braid less sew-in, versatile sew-in, and the vixen sew in have made its way to the hair-sewing world.

Coco Chanel created sweaters of jersey and a women’s blazer that are still impactful.
Different colors, different shapes, different sizes, no one similar to another, as no woman is similar to other.

No, because it does not agree with her personality, she would wear neon colored, avant-garde, high heel shoes. Women, most of the times unconsciously, use foot wear as a media to express their personalities and emotions. For example, she can transmit her shy personality by wearing more conservative shoes, flat, neutral color and mere, if she is sad, she would wedge something comfortable, crocs, for instance.
