In her textbook Visibly Muslim, Emma Tarlo outlines how Muslim clothing and fashion in the urban setting of Britain can affect the visibility of ethnicity. According to the 2001 census, there are over 1.6 million Muslims living in Britain. This population consists of individuals from many different backgrounds and descents, and all have their own distinct cultural dress and fashion. The most recognized and popular item among Muslim women is ‘hijab’, which has brought about much debate because of its conservative covering. Hijab is a scarf worn over the head and neck but does not fully cover the face and eyes. There are no set guidelines which inform the way in which Muslim women dress. Instead, Muslim fashion is influenced by factors such as geographic region, heritage and religion. Muslim women’s dress is outlined in the sacred Islamic text, the Qur’an. The covered clothing and headscarf, worn by Muslim women, is a public statement to show modesty, respect for Islam, spirituality, devotedness and identity as a Muslim. This essay explores the different Muslim and non-Muslim perspectives in relation to Tarlo’s Visibly Muslim, and discusses the impacts of being ethnically identifiable (Tarlo, 2010).
Fashion is one of the key components that made the roaring twenties “roaring”. Every corner you go to you will be able to pinpoint colourfully decorated clothes as everyone is hyped and excited that the Great War has come to an end and the women, specifically had more freedom as all the jobs that women did during the Great War are now done by the men.
Throughout history, there were many things that influenced fashion and the ideal body image of the time. Things such as politics, and changes in social roles were some things that had an influence on the fashion of the day. One particular shocking thing that had influenced on the fashion around the 1800s were sickness and diseases. Not only were diseases and sickness caused by different fashion trends, but it set the tone for certain ideal body images and also influenced the fashion of the time.
Sometimes people wear clothing so they can be set apart from the general population. Other times people just wear what makes them feel good. Two groups that fall into these categories are Hasidic Jews and Hawaiians.
American Apparel is a story of rags to riches and back to rags. It rapidly grew into one of the most well known and most controversial clothing companies in the world. The company began with a simple goal, making a profit selling local and ethically-manufactured blank t-shirts, sweatshirts, and jeans that were moderately priced. American Apparel managed to disturb the entire fashion industry with it’s unique identity, constantly pushing the envelope with its controversial methods of branding. The logo-free garments became an iconic uniform for young liberal adults. How could this company quickly become a symbol of what is cool and edgy and equally as fast file for bankruptcy?
Have you ever heard of Dolman Sleeves, Polo, or even Little Black Dresses? Well this essay talks all about them. So sit back, and take a journey to the 1930’s fashion trends from Mens polos to women’s clothing for a night in the town. The nazis were the big bad guys of this time period and they made things a little interesting for people, manley Jews. If you thought the 1980’s, 1960’s or even the 1900’s were crazy, wait till you read about the 1930’s.
Muslim women wear the hijab, head-covering, in fulfillment of God's decree to dress modestly. This type of modest dress has been worn by many religious women through time such as Catholic nuns, Mother Teresa, and the Virgin
...les, and we shouldn't be afraid to show them off to the people around us. How cares if we dress a little different. We are expressing our own individualities through the clothes we wear, and if other people don't like it, tuff noogies. Whoever, I think the only time we should be concerned about what others are wearing is when their style is a threat to our lives, or the life of the person wearing the garment. This concept could also be used in the other topics I wrote about in this essay. Unless there is harm to the individual, or individuals around them, we as a society shouldn't be to concerned about the styles of others. Usually these wild styles are a fads, and people will grow out of them. I know that I was able to grow out of many wild styles that my parents weren't sure if I would come out of or not. So if I was able to overcome these styles, others will to.
A substantial part of why people tell others what or how to think of others is based off of how they have been raised. Individuals who have grown up in a household with racist family members and have been told all their life that anyone that wears a turban are going to bomb America are the ones who make people of any other race feel less than others. Today most families try to teach their children how everyone is the same regardless of skin color but there are still those select few who feel like they are supposed to make anyone that isn’t the same race like their ancestors did in the 1960’s. There’s also been an image put into the younger generations heads that if you see someone in dirty, worn clothes that they are poor when in all reality they could be a hard construction worker who spends all their time working. Judging people by their appearance isn’t very accurate.
In the South Asian culture there are strict rules as to how one presents themselves and if they show rebellion then the family is frowned upon. For instance, my parents will not allow me to wear short attire, have multiple piercings, or change my hair colour.

Around the world there has been big confrontation about what is dress code. Dress code is the guidelines about what is right to wear, what is not, and why it should be worn that way. It is time for people to be told to tell how and why dress codes were created, what the big deal is about them and how they could make it better without getting rid of it completely or going to the extremes. If anyones ever been questioned about what they were wearing please listen, there is more than likely an answer to that.
One can also see how culture causes people to be different in their dress styles. In Vietnam, it is acceptable to wear clothes similar to pyjamas out in the street. Yet in America, one cannot do this. One has to dress properly, which means that pyjamas is worn at night and to bed only. However, it is incomprehensible to the Vietnamese why the Americans have to dress so well to go to sleep, why they have to wear nightgowns or pyjamas with fancy designs. They do not understand why it is important to put on a robe when one eats breakfast.
Clothing is an aspect of human physical appearance, and like other aspects of human physical appearance it has social significance. All societies have dress codes, most of which are unwritten but understood by most members of the society. The dress code has built in rules or signals indicating the message being given by a person's clothing and how it is worn. This message may include indications of the person's social class, income, occupation, ethnic and religious affiliation, attitude, marital status, sexual availability and sexual orientation. Clothes convey other social messages including the stating or claiming personal or cultural identity, the establishing, maintaining, or defying social group norms, and appreciating comfort and functionality.
